Brighter day

It's a much brighter day here in Cornwall; butterflies are flitting around the laburnum tree, birds are crowding around the bird table and there's even enough sun to power the solar pump in the fish pond.

All seems well with the world but the dark shadow is the difficulty in finding a winner after yesterday's abysmal performance by Alison Thorpe's runner at Newton Abbot, which weakened tamely out of affairs a long way out, and also the pathetic performance of Plymouth Argyle in getting knocked out of the League Cup in the first round for the 10th year in a row.

That Man Reid will hopefully put things right in time for Saturday's visit of Carlisle United, who still owe us a favour after we let their goalkeeper Jimmy Glass score with a header in the dying seconds of the last game of the season a few years ago to keep them in the Football League.

On the horses front it is down to me to get things in order and I am looking to Red Yarn in the 3.35 at Salisbury to do the business at 9-1 in an open looking handicap. This one has already drifted to 12s since I backed him this morning but as long as the SP stays out there I'll be all right under Best Odds. Just don't want the thing to be backed again at the last minute....

No time to go in to why I'm on him as my wife has just driven back in and most of the jobs I was left to do when she went off at 9.30 this morning are still not done so cheerio for now.
