Perhaps I'm just a born optimist (you have to be to follow horseracing sometimes!) but I really thought that Musselburgh would avoid the below minus temperatures that the rest of the continent seem to be afflicted by. So it's back to the drawing board with my selections and a fresh look at Punchestown - although I have a big red reminder to take note of any runners with the money coming and join in!!
The definition of optimism has to be Imperial Shabra who is running against Big Zeb and Sizing Europe - he's never even won a chase before.....but you never know, strange things happen in racing as someone pointed out to me on Twitter, I am watching only but just for the record I think that Big Zeb will prevail.
With Sandown and Musselburgh lost this weekend - four of the eight runners of the Musselburgh 15:00 (Creekside, Kie, Lyvius, Scoglio,) all hold entries for the (proper Cheltenham!) Triumph - it must be an absolute nightmare for trainers plans!
At the moment, a Walsh/Mullins Lucky 15 looks a good bet (always each way then at least you usually get you money back !). They are:
13:20 Allure Of Illusion 1st (dh)
13:50 Simenon 2nd
14:20 Sergent Guib's 3rd
15:25 Up The Beat 2nd
e/w Lucky 15 - 30 pts stake returned 60.18 pts
(I didn't have to work this out as this was my actual bet with Paddy Power!)
My nightly nap was Kie ("if you mix up the letters in one of them") but at least we had a good tune to listen to, if not a good each way bet to come in for us!

Selections will dribble on throughout the morning/early afternoon
A winner, two profitable places and a very profitable L15 makes a tidy profit today of +27.54
Three McManus runners in the 15:25 (all with different trainers) and 15:55 (all with Enda Bloger)! Take note of which the £££s goes for shortly before the off!
