Talking Horses

As a late substitute today I hope I can come on and make a difference. Continuing the theme, football news continues to dominate in sport. Alan Curbishley has just resigned as West Ham manager while Kevin Keegan and the Newcastle board are presumbaly still negotiating a form of words that means neither will lose face.

I try and not let the Premier League into my life but this is car-crash material. Capitalism at its rawest and difficult to look away from or ignore. I recommend reading David Conn's The Beautiful Game? The question mark is not a mistake.

The racing today is poor and no mistake. There's some potential quality at Lingfield where the nap is Playfellow 3.50pm. Promising debut win. Big race entries suggest he's well regarded. Form merits his position in the market as favourite.
