You think you’ve got problems!
I went to see Dunkirk at the cinema last night, and what an incredible film. It’s films like that which really get me thinking, and that’s the point of them. They help to put things into perspective. Captain William Tennant managed to organise the evacuation of 338,226 men over a ten day period. And it couldn’t have been done without…

Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore
Imagine the confusion that Dorothy must have felt when she first appeared in the land of Oz. I mean it must have been terrifying. Nothing was familiar, nothing worked out as she planned it, and there were scarecrows, tin men and lions who spoke!

Ebor Handicap Trends
For some reason as a child, the Ebor was my favourite race. Maybe it was because the great Sea Pigeon won the race in 1979. I don’t know? It’s a race I have had a bit of luck in recently too with three winners since 2011. Let’s hope that can continue in this year’s renewal. Since 2009 there have been…

The Big Mac of Bets
McDonald’s was started in 1937 but didn’t start becoming the global success it is today until 1965. Ray Croc, who used to sell the milkshake machines that McDonald’s used, bought the company off the family who started it in 1961, with a vision to make it the USA’s number one fast food chain. He could see that in the right…

How Do Top-Weighted Horses Perform in Handicaps?
When it comes to handicap racing, the top-weighted horse is usually deemed to be the classiest (highest OR) in the race; that is why it is forced to carry more weight than any other horse. On the one hand, handicappers in the UK are exceptionally talented and seldom get it wrong when determining how much weight a horse should carry.…

This Time Next Year We’ll Be Millionaires
Most of us know where this famous phrase comes from, and I’m sure that I used to give this impression to my family when I started betting nearly 30 years ago. Guess what.. they’re still waiting!

The log flume of doom
We went to a Center Parc yesterday, and it’s the first time I’ve been in a log flume since I was a kid. The one that freaked me out the most is the one which is small and you have to cross your arms and legs because it goes so fast. It’s not the speed that freaks me out, it’s…
