Well, Chapter Seven tuned up perfectly for the Cambridgeshire last Saturday with an excellent second at Newbury. That race will have put him spot on for the big one this week. Now in the words of Tinie Tempah “Let it rain, let it pour.”
There’s a guy who’s been coming in to Tony the Bookies’ shop for 5 years now, who we shall call Cropper (as in Roy). Now for the first 2 months, on every Saturday, he would wear the same Purple sweater. It may have been for good luck I don’t know, but there is a more likely explanation. You see Tony and I think that his wife is a bit of a joker, as Cropper informed us that he is colour blind, so you can imagime his wife saying to him “Here’s your Green one today” or “I’ve put the Red one on the bed for you.” before she goes off and has a good chuckle to herself as he disappears in the same old Purple sweater! Poor Cropper.
Helmet has returned from his holidays (though no-one knows where he went and he seems to be up to date with all his information) in a bouyant mood. He was particulalry delighted to see 2 serial killers removed from our streets in recent times he informed me. He now knows that the residents of Emmerdale and Coronation Street can rest easy in their beds! Typical Helmet. At the moment he is deep into researching the best X-Factor bets and will be clueing us up in the coming weeks. Can’t wait!
That’s it for now. Quiet week ahead with the Newmarket meeting at the weekend something to look forward to. Let’s hope the rain arrives later in the week for us and I’ll be blogging again on Friday if anything stands out but definitely on Saturday.
