At least I can get a bit of work done today

[girt_giggler]

good england!

[Louth Exile]

Well done to the Bumper on still being the last race of the day that the Bumper is on.

And the County hurdle is still the last race on the last day!

After the initial disappointment I have also seen the personal benefits, going to buckle down and get the work done today, was finishing up early tommorow anyway for the weekend. Now I get to watch 19 races enjoying a pint  

The first race tommorow is not one worth bothering with, but after that it is now some card of racing.

Thursday

1-05 Tidal Bay

Thats interesting an extra days rest could mean Tidal Bay is an possible selection! Wonder if i can change my lucky 15 for todays races!!
