Well what can I say? I tip my hat to Lowlay again, as they come up with another cracker yesterday, when Ingleby Arch could only muster 6th place and 6 lengths behind the winner, whilst going off 3/1 second favourite. That makes it 12/12, [...]

Logical Mondays: Don’t You Just Hate Them?!

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

It will come as no surprise to you that I love my job. After all, I get paid to write about horse racing and other [...]
