Nobody has invited us around this Christmas, so yet again today, our family is hosting everybody for lunch, but I wont be there. I guess\u00a0somebody needs to earn the money to pay for it \ud83d\ude09 I’ll be locked in my study and making the odd appearance to say hello.<\/span><\/p>\n

New years day is a busy day in the sporting world. At least the footy is occurring on a different day this year! But the racing is on today, as always and packed to the rafters.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have 444 runners across seven meetings, but very different meetings. A glance at the card will tell you the importance of some of the races. A ‘Buy your 2016 annual badge today’ race is obviously somewhat less appealing than a grade two at Cheltenham and Cheltenham sticks out as the prime target today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prize money at Cheltenham is \u00a3116k and averages \u00a316.5k per race, the whole of the Fakenham meeting has prize money of just \u00a320k. So you can see the diverse mixture on the card. Fakenham only has an average of 8.5 runners as well compare to double figures at Cheltenham, Musselburgh and Fairyhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have generally done well on New Years Day, so that’s why I’m behind my desk. I want to kick start 2016 with some easier opportunities. Today should present that, but mainly at the bigger races, which is where I will be targeting my efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow should be ok as well. Good luck and hope you get off to a great start in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n
