How Many Meetings?! - Monday 26 December Selections & Updates

I've managed to rolll myself off the chair after the marathon eating and drinking fest which was Christmas Day and although I did take a quick peek at today's racing a couple of days ago, I had hadn' t quite grasped how many meetings there were!  Twelve in UK and Ireland in total so there's plenty to choose from.


Alas, Santa did not bring me a Racing Post calendar (but lots of other nice things instead).....


A good day with five winners, four places and only three not in the frame.  I don't know what on earth happened to Plenty Pocket but that was a dismal effort and he ended up last - I can't imagine that something won't be found to have been amiss.  Profits of +11.50 (76.66%)

	Towcester	First Choice	E/W or RF Choice
1	12:20	Speed Master 1st	Bobcatbilly (EW) 3rd
2	14:30	John’s Spirit  2nd	Theodore Lamb (EW) UP

	Kempton	First Choice	E/W or RF Choice
1	12:50	Plenty Pocket UP
2	13:25	Our Mick 1st
3	14:00	Grands Crus  1st
4	14:35	Rock On Ruby 2nd
5	15:10	Long Run 2nd

	Leopardstown	First Choice	E/W or RF Choice
1	13:20	Sam Bass PU (RIP)	His Excellency (EW) 1st

	Wincanton	First Choice	E/W or RF Choice
1	14:15	Swincombe Bay 1st

Now, the Long Run v. Kauto Star debate?  I would love Kauto to win (as would many folk) and  Ruby has been doing a great psyche job on the dentist BUT ...I think Long Run will win whilst hoping he doesn't.  The King George will be a no-bet but very much watched race for me.
