The Trainbairn

Decided against the Pogues gig due to timings but got nice surprise when I discovered Roger Daltrey is doing additional dates of the Tommy tour. Got ticket for the Sunday night that ends the tour in the 02. Might still book up Squeeze given the good reviews I have read(TIBS included) but the Pogues gig fell on the Emirates Cup 1st day and would have been a major rush to get back for it. Never mind, Daltrey at the 02 more than makes up for it!!

Got a few coming up at the end of July, and waiting on confirmation of whether The Rifles will come to Scotland this Winter to plug the new album. BAD atthe Southbank Centre, House of Pain, Squeeze and The pogues( for the greenwich Summer sessions). All within the one week on a summer holiday cant be that bad.

Sunday racing usually always looks like the poor relation to the classy racing on a Saturday but there is one I like the look of at Sedgefield in the 2.40 in what looks a weak race. HASPER 13 y o b g ( Sandy Forster) Record racing LH:261214U325(2-10) Record racing RH: PU(0-2) Conclusion: He has done most of his racing going Left Handed Record in fields of 8 runners or less: 121P2U(2-6) Record in fields of 9 runners or more: 264U325(0-6) Conclusion: His best runs have come in small fields. Summary of ideal conditions: When racing in fields of 8 runners or less, going Left Handed, his record reads: 1212(2-4). He may be thirteen years old but given ideal conditions today, in such a weak race, he has to be the value at around the 11/2-6/1 mark. Best of luck with whatever you bet today Steven __________

Primal Scream booked up now for the Screamadelica 20th Anniversary tour next March..Last day of the Cheltenham Festival as well. Should be a cracking day/night

Got a few in next few weeks. Barenaked Ladies @ O2 Academy next Friday Manic Street Preachers with british Sea Power supporting @ Corn Exchange the Saturday after. Ocean Colour Scene again at the 02 Academy October 7th Charlatans with Sean Ryder at Fat sams on the 9th of October Not a bad haul actually for me since I usually get to about four a year. Also ending the year with Paul Weller and Rifles at SECC in December and possibly Faithless if I can persuade my brother to buy me the ticket for my birthday.

I was a very small part of a syndicate that shared the pot with 7 other players the year Madison Du Berlais won the Hennesey and denied our hopes for the bonus. My mate was the main protagonist in it and has won it at least three times iirc.

Cant have Hawkeyethenoo with counterfeit in the Gold Cup. Stable are woefully out of form at present.

Quite fancy the top weight Josr's Magic here but also been told not to disregard Nom delarosa

Ellie's Image looks to have strong claims in the nightcap at Catterick at 8.30 this evening. ELLIE'S IMAGE 3 yo b f (B P J Baugh) Distance. 6f: 8(0-1) 7f: 801411(3-6) 1m:060(0-3) 9f: 0 (0-1) Conclusion: She is best at 7f. Class of race Class 1-3: no runs Class 4: 8 (0-1) Class 5: 800460(0-6) Class 6: 0111(3-4) Conclusion: She has yet to win above Class 6. Summary of ideal conditions: When racing at 7f, in class 6 or lower grade, her record reads: 111(3-3). All three wins have come over today's C&D and the only worry for me is the ground as she has only won on Good to firm going so far in her career. She might be well drawn in stall 13 as they tend to come stands side when the going is on the easier side here and she is one of very few progressive animals in this race so has to take all the beating at around the 3/1 mark.

Newmarket 2.05 Geneva Geezer has ideal conditions today and can run well at fancy odds. GENEVA GEEZER(GER) 4 yo b g ( J P Eustace) Distance 6f: F1(1-2) 7f:5 (0-1) 1m: 85(0-2) 1m2f: 11010912(4- 1m3f: no runs 1m4f: 3P0(0-3) Conclusion: He runs his best races at 10f. Jockeyship Luke Morris:F1580(1-5) Stepehn Craine: 9(0-1) Micky Fenton: 513110P012(4-10) Conclusion: He runs particularly well for jockey Micky Fenton Field size 10 or less runners: F15851311P912(5-13) 11 or more runners: 000(3-3) Conclusion: Being a front runner, he is best in smaller fields . Summary of ideal conditions When racing at 10f, when ridden by Micky Fenton, his record reads: 111012(4-6). The duck egg came in a field of 11 runners at Doncaster and in fields of 10 or less runners that record improves to: 11112(4-5 with the defeat by a short head). As a front runner, if given an easy time up front and it doesn't turn into a burn-up for the lead, he can reverse the defeat by Abergavenny last time out on thre lbs better terms on a track that suits better(All his wins have come on galloping tracks) and at 16/1 he is way too big a price,especially from an each way perspective.

Got four between now and the end of the year(possibly a fifth if I can get Manics tickets for teh Brixton Academy) Jazzie B DJ set at the Jazz Cafe end of July Barenaked Ladies end f fSeptember at the 02 Academy in Glasgow Charlatans with Shaun Ryder supporting at Fat Sams in Dundee Paul Weller SECC early December.

This one runs in the 5.30 at Kempton toniht and has great e/w chances to these eyes. BEST IN CLASS 4yo gr g (S C Williams) Distance 6f:6 (0-1) 7f: 1 (1-1) 1m:214640 (1-6) 1m1f:no runs 1m2f:00100 (1-5) Conclusion:he has won at trips from 7f-1m2f. Going Firm:no runs Good to Firm:06 (0-2) Good:0 (0-1) Good to soft:4 (0-1) Polytrack: 62110100(3- Conclusion: he is far better on polytrack.

That's the one yep. Started off okay but just didn't seem to go anywhere.

I have read that Buckley one as well banterman and went back and read his older stuff including the excellent Thank You For Smoking which I can recommend. Started to read the latest Bisset book but gave up after about 80 pages. Pretty mediocre stuff.
