Bobhopeornohope is retired after yesterdays run at Ludlow. We were hoping that he go out on a winning note, but the poor old boy is struggling with his breathing. What a star he has been over the years for his owner John Perriss.
Bought at the Cheltenham Tattersalls sale after he won his Irish Point he went on to win 5 of his 22 starts and he finished in the money on a further 9… Bob will now proabably pass on to Mrs B who will endeavour to find him a really great home away from racing …. Which of course she will.. Thursday is our easy day, but we do have three runners at Huntingdon later..
For our thoughts on their chances please click here. England play India today in their first of three ODI's. The Racing Post today is full of wonderful tributes to the late Aga Khan. One doctor bragged that he had a patient show up with 2 legs missing from a tractor accident. He fixed him all up and he became the greatest basketball player of all time.
The next doctor bragged that he had a shark bite patient who had his arms bitten off. He fixed him up and he became a superstar NFL quarterback. Well one time I had a patient arrive after being in a catastrophic car accident.
The only thing they were able to recover was his asshole and a bag of Cheetos. I sewed him back together and he went on to become the president of the United States! On that note happy birthday to Podge Wills.. It was her husbands Michael's yesterday, but I forgot. Minus 1 and dry when driving in The mornings are gradually becoming lighter.. We hosted roughly 30 members of the Country Land and Business Association here third lot..
