the greatest sporting weekend of my life
Warm greetings once more. The truth is that this newsletter could have been called whatever you want it to be as there is not one singular superlative that can describe what this past weekend was like.

J&B Met 2010 and Pocket Power.My thoughts
On current form, Pocket is IMPOSSIBLE to oppose. At the weights, he has them cold. Kapil I like strongly, but it's a little far for him - big place chance. Others with place chance are the 2 Laird 3 yr olds, Fabiani and BigCity. River Jetez maybe 4th. I don't like any other horses. My... Continue Reading →
