I've had a couple great days after breaking up from work on Thursday night. I picked up Kerryman Ray at 5pm then headed straight forMonmore. Sadly the Prince couldn't win for his visit after suffering trouble in running. We did get to see two track records set by BandicootTipoki and Farloe Lee. Tipoki looks like a very special dog but I'm sure he will be made to battle all the way in next Thursdays Final. On Friday we made our annual pilgrimage to Cheltenham where we witnessed Kato Star win his second Cheltenham Gold Cup, what a horse. I managed to backed 2 winners at 5/1 and 10/1 which made the week a winning one. There was no stopping come Saturday as we set off to see Lance Burford and Slim Amarillo (Socks) who had arrived the previous weekend. We met up with Sock's Co-owner Dave Yanez . Socks looks to have settled in well and I took a few snaps for his website. Socks will trial at Coventry on Tuesday.
Whilst always having an interest in birding from a young age never really found my way to develop into serious hobby until recent years. Local patch is Salford Priors Gravel Pits; also enjoy Upton Warren in Worcestershire, Spurn, Northumberland, the Scillies and Slimbridge.
