He's back, with Grand designs

Some say he eats the Racing Post for breakfast, lightly toasted.

​

Others that he has an ear at every stable door, and at several unstable ones. It is even said that he can talk to animals but has nothing to say.

​

All we know is that he is our Junior Racing Advisor, and he is back.

​

It has been a long time since he was last in contact with us. Where he has been we do not know but we know where he is going – Aintree for Saturday’s Grand National.

​

Some take his racing advice as if it was handed down on stone tablets; others suggest you must be stoned on tablets if you take blind bit of notice of what he says.

​

But we have managed to get the names of two of the runners in Saturday’s National.

​

For win purposes he reckons ANY SECOND NOW, and for the more timid amongst us who what to bet each way then apparently TWO FOR GOLD has a sporting chance at around 50-1.

​

As always all we do is pass on the messages, like life in general, there are no guarantees.
