Tanya’s Blog - Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
Sensational, fabulous, genius, top class entertainment – hands up who watched the darts last night, especially the Gary Anderson match? What drama; it went to sudden death and it was probably steely grit and determination which got ‘The Flying Scotsman’ through to the next round. But major plaudits must go to Artut, who made the match great. Can’t wait for the action to continue on Sky tonight from 7pm and Whitlock is last on; matchsticks at the ready in order to stay awake!
Christmas does bring superb sporting action and the football line-up is tremendous. I can’t wait for the Spurs v Chelsea match tomorrow night, and I need to boost the Fantasy Football points especially as I lead the office league, but only by a miniscule three points!
MADE IN TIME, FLORAFERN and MY TENT OR YOURS, all at Ludlow, have attracted support on the exchanges this morning. AP McCoy has a good book of rides including two of the aforementioned. Made In Time was gathering momentum and travelling well when unseating halfway through the race at Newbury last time. He runs in the most competitive race of the day at Ludlow, the 2.35. Time For Spring and Battlecry could be mixed up in forecasts by me with Made In Time.
Florafern has finished second on four of her five starts to date, but she has come up against some really talented individuals and deserves at break at 3.10.
This is my last blog before Boxing Day, so may I take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, hope Santa brings you all that you wanted including a sack load of winners and look forward to posting just after the Morning Line on Boxing Day, it promises to be an absolute cracker!
