Catching Up

Poker has taken a back seat since i last posted, decided to take it easy (probably until the end of this month).
Had some good results in May despite not winning a MTT, 3rd in the NTX was probably my best. Yet still made 13 FTs which was pleasing due to the fact of not playing as much.
No targets for June, just play when the mood takes me, made 2 FTs so far this month, the second being in one of the new HeadHunters on crypto. They are really good fun and if you haven't played in one i would highly recommend giving one a bash.

On the Greyhound front we had a mixed month in May with 2 wins and a DQ (clearing trials granted) :) . Marvin won his first race for us ( on his 10th start - about time) this month and is running on Saturday night along with Janey and Fivo. Will be disapointed if we can't manage a winner between these as they all look to have decent chances.
Glad to see that the connections of Westmead Hawk decided to call it a day with their Superstar and good luck to him now he continues his Stud duties.
That brings me nicely onto this years Greyhound Derby which got underway at Plough Lane tonight with Phoenix Paddy setting the early standard winning Heat 11 stopping the clock at a very respectable 28.46

Down at Epsom and both the Classics produced a decent story as we saw Authorized and Frankie Dettori win the Derby with any ammount in hand bringing with it Dettori's first win in the Big race, also a special mention to Baggies fan Peter Chapple-Hyam who is definately back with a bang now he has returned to our shores.
On Friday we saw a very emotional Henry Cecil after his filly Light Shift had won the Oaks. Henry has struggled to find good horses in the last few years and he has shown he is still capable of producing the goods when the right ones come along.
Royal Ascot is just around the corner and i will wait till then before having another punt on the horses.

Still awaiting a date for the move into our new house, no chain but they don't rush themselves do they !!!!!!!

OK thats all for now, thanks for dropping by and Good Luck to you all
