Welcome to my first ever blog and today it is all about horse racing.
It is 2,000 Guineas Day at Newmarket and also the start of the Totesport Ten To Follow competition.
I always see today as the real start to the flat season because of it being the first classic and today hopefully we will see a superstar in the shape of St.Nicholas Abbey. I can't see how this horse will be beaten if fit, as no matter how the race is run it should suit him. If they go a crawl, he will quicken as he did in last season's Racing Post Trophy and if they go flat out he is sure to have the stamina as well as his turn of foot. Hopefully he will win and get my Ten To Follow list off to a flyer. Elusive Pimpernel and Al Zir should chase him home for the places.
Seta will hopefully win the 1000 Guineas on Sunday and I have backed them both to win, plus the double, more points for the list!
The Ten To Follow competition run in the Racing Post is a prize I have been trying to win ever since it started. I have entered the flat and jumps competition every year since it started. I have been on the leaderboard on a few occassions, but have never got close to winning it. But this year could be the year! Well thats how everyone who has entered it feels right now, as it hasn't started yet.
This years list of dreams is as follows:
St. Nicholas Abbey
Al Zir
Seta
Music Show
Passion For Gold
Jan Vermeer
Chabal
Rip Van Winkle
Sariska
Zacinto
Hopefully these ten will give me as much fun as I have had during the jumps season that has just finshed. The highlight was being at Aintree to witness the great AP McCoy winning the Grand National on Don't Push It, even had the bonus of having backed it at 20-1. Have attached a picture of the great man. For more of my horse racing images, including this year's Cheltenham Festival and Grand National day, please check out my website http://randyrannracing.foliopic.com
Anyway thats it for my first ever blog and I hope that anyone who has read it has enjoyed it and will visit the site again. Will update soon.
