Racing, reading, maths, Trackside, Sporting Life, Geegeez. Dreadful at Gran Turismo. You'll find me at Southwell, probably.
Vicki's off to The Curragh for Trackside this weekend - live paddock coverage for both Saturday and Sunday! Get in touch if you'd like the feed!

Aintree-bound at two. Miss the worst of the traffic, hopefully. Very much looking forward to seeing Battle Born Lad on Friday, have a feeling he could be a proper tool next year, lovely sort

Lovely quiet week this week, might do a bit of Rasen Wednesday if we get a few runners, then off to Warwick Thursday, and what's this? - a Flat fixture at Doncaster? Who sneaked that in there for me? #trackside

I like this judge. "Screw palp" appears to be the message...

Corrine Durber was told her jackpot was a computer error, but a judge ruled in her favour.

In typical fashion, as soon as I'm due to do a preview evening (tomorrow) I get a raging sore throat and start sneezing...

At least I get Chepstow, even if I didn't get Hereford. According to Maps, it's 8 years since the last visit. The flooding was bad here yesterday - at one point on the journey from Worcester I had to turn around after seeing a 4x4 struggle through a flooded village.

Off to sunny Cheltenham today where I'm fully expecting the words "low sun" to come into play. Have a feeling today might be a Knockara Beau-type shock day....

Oh dear. Rather glad I didn't set off for Ludlow now.

Nice to finally get back out of the house and on a racecourse again. Super Southwell the destination. Have made a loaf to take along for us all to share with the soup. Hoping for spicy parsnip.

Here's something new from me, 'Simon Nott Zooms In' a video series where I revisit people in the game for an informal chat. This is #1 and features professional punter Brett Lloyd currently basking in Thailand.

I, for one, find it hard to believe Lingfield is off when, according to their course report yesterday morning, it was raceable at *checks notes* 3pm on Friday

Someone at Timeform clearly a fan of the early-90s Manchester baggy scene....not you, is it @danbarbertf.bsky.social?

When a clerk uses the word "optimistic" in a going report, fine them two grand. Make it five if they add "cautiously" and ten if the fixture is subsequently called off. That'll learn 'em

Glint in your eye? Suspicious. Smile a lot? Absolute wrong 'un. Eat your breakfast croissant in a weird way? Traitor all day long.

What a hopeless, rudderless lot....

Back to the Traitors tonight. Yeah, I know, it's trash. But it's very enjoyable trash. Here's hoping they find actual evidence to use rather than comparing people to Harold Shipman.

Abandonization, all across the nation. Doncaster, Newbury and Huntingdon. Time for the BHA to release their weekend masterplan, or something
January 8, 2025 at 8:48 AM
Rather hoping we can get Warwick on for Saturday but I rather suspect the weather will do for it. Looks a decent card if it holds up.

My first, whatever this is, on here. Let's see how we go...
