Tanya's Blog - 12th April 2011

Green’s restaurant in London was the location last night for a simply tremendous evening to celebrate Big Buck’s winning three Ladbrokes World Hurdles. A glittering guest list including the main protagonists, the Stewart Family, Paul Nicholls, Ruby Walsh and some of the real grafters, the stable staff all mingled with the hierarchy of Ladbrokes and to think I was fortunate and privileged to join in on the festivities.

You know when an evening is great when every draw is a good one and I was opposite Edward Gillespie and in between Anthony Bromley and Paul Stewart, quite what they did to deserved to be lumbered with me I don’t know, but it was a superb evening.

Apologies for tipping Take Your Partner yesterday, if I realised it was going to be 1-5 I would never have flagged it up. At least it won. There isn’t much to get excited about today, hardly surprising with Newmarket’s Craven meeting on the horizon sprinkled with a bit of Cheltenham, Greenham at Newbury and Scottish National at Ayr.

However I have dug up a couple on the all weather, PRECOCIOUS KID in Southwell’s 2.40 and BRABAZON in Wolverhampton’s 3.50.

POINTERS

Alan Bailey has had five winners and a second from his last eight runners

James Given has had four winners and a third from his last six all weather runners

Charlie Longsdon has had six winners and three seconds from his last 14 runners

Charlie Longsdon’s tremendous form has assisted Kielan Woods to four wins from his last four rides for the trainer

Nick Scholfield has had four winners from his last ten rides other than for Paul Nicholls

Qozak has had five wins from his six Taunton runs
