Afternoon me Beauts ;-)

Sledge

Me ;-)

 

Wow For the First Time in 2 Years i managed to beat the Mighty Sledge ( Top left Pic ) today 6-4 2-6 6-4 , Great game in some truly astonishing March Sunshine felt like it was 80° on the court , absolutely fabulous !!, we both felt pretty destroyed at the end ( old age is kicking in ;-( ) but was still a great work out! , every shot was played at some stage today, smashes, deft flicks , drop shots , spin , cross courts , over head and Sledge even managed to make up a new shot with a double back handed reverse twist over head lob!!!...n1 son ;-).

So with me enjoying the sun and getting some exercise in today the Blog is late, the race cards havent been produced in fact nothing has been done , but knowing this yesterday i had already set my stall out and had previously decided to just concentrate on a quite deece looking Leopardstown Card which Kicks off at around 16:25...so i shall post a Lite card for this shortly , hope everyone is happy and having an equally fantastic day in the sun!!.

LEOPARDSTOWN

RACE 1
BACK - ALONG - ( 4th )
EW - BETTERBETTERBETTER - 2nd @ 6.5
MULTI - SEDUCING -
*A very tough start i have rather clinically gone for a dutch on the thre Aiden o'Brien runners however i will not be surprised if the Harrington,Wachman or Bolger runners dont get involved , Along has been chosen as the best back on the grounds of its family ties being a Half sister to the very useful Wonder of Wonders and being in the same family tree as Galileo and See the Stars, should be a great race that holds plenty of future winners , get the notepad out.
**I notice there has been quite a bit of Early money for Princess Highway , fto ran an ok race running behind some useful sorts on ground it probably didnt like expect improvement for sure but at 3.7 and the fav i will make this my LOTD as i will be SHOCKED if something else doesnt run to around 85-90 and prove too good already.
***And i am indeed left Shocked , the Irish money spoke and Princess Highway duly wins @ 2/1F still feel this was more of a plot than seeing the best of these , the ground i feel is the key to the much improved run...expensive start to the evening for me.

EW - HIT THE JACKPOT -
MULTI - ALKAZIM -
*Furners Green is the Odds on Fav and is expected to win this comfortably, however i feel its worth taking on today , been soundly beaten several times and looks exposed enough to think a decent improver can do him. - **That will do , nicely in front now ;-)

BACK - FAIRY WING -
EW - ECLIPSEOFTHEHEART -

*Nothing from this but wasnt expected, its fair to say at this juncture that J Bolger has his string in very good order and should be followed.
