Summer has almost gone

Summer has almost gone

Seeing Wolverhampton on the card again made me realise another summer has almost passed into the spreadsheet of history.

One of the realities of sports trading is that summer is peak season across a number of sports for me, so it’s a valuable time to get into top gear. I mourn it’s passing. But my attention will now turn to Tennis for the US Open and back to Football for the winter months. Racing, of course, is an all year …

Craving more Craven

Craving more Craven

Stuck in a pretty good performance on the first day of the Craven meeting and was pretty pleased all round with overall performance.

Make hay

Make hay

Never was a phrase so true as in the horse racing markets than, ‘Make hay while the sun shines’ literally. During the summer we have wall to wall racing and a lot of quality then as we transition through to late August into September that just falls away.

The evening racing grinds to a halt and a card that could provide a top up to a good day or a serve you a get out of jail card, suddenly isn’t …
