Despite the poor weather and disruption to the sporting schedule there are still a lot of opportunities around. Yesterday seemed a surprisingly good day on the racing and Meydan helped a lot, no snow in Dubai! This morning there was some Aussie racing on first thing, so that’s set me up nicely for this afternoon.<\/p>\n

I live not too far from Newbury and when I rose bright and early this morning I\u00a0walked out to the nearest field, which was covered in snow, and when my foot couldn’t break the surface and given the forecast, I figured that Newbury would not go ahead. So I’ve made more betting on ‘will racing go ahead’\u00a0than I probably could have done at the meeting. Shame to see the meeting abandoned but this sort of bet is a nice hedge at this time of year. Sometimes some of the best opportunities are literally on your doorstep!<\/p>\n

Last night was the premier league darts as well and we had some absolutely cracking matches. Some of the best darts I have seen in a while. The\u00a0last match of session went from 6-0 up to a 7-7 draw, fantastic stuff.\u00a0It was well worth the effort of tuning in on Thursday evening and I’ll be back again for some more if I have the opportunity.<\/p>\n

I tweeted my activity in the darts and also my thoughts on the racing at Newbury, so tune into twitter<\/a> if you want timely information. That said it’s half term next week so I expect I will probably be a bit quieter while I spend some time with the kids.<\/p>\n
