People, get ready for Joburg.
Good morning, Clan, as we head into another big weekend.
On the health front, my eyes continue to give me grief and I’ve now been advised to undergo a heart procedure.
Getting old is a pain in the arse — but at least I don’t have haemorrhoids 😉
Racing This Weekend
Port Elizabeth – Today
Word on the ground is that Casperita can run.
Zietsman has Andrew riding for the stable, which could be a change of Fortune.
Fairy Knight looks the obvious banker.
Greyville – Tonight
A tricky card — tread carefully.
Turffontein – Saturday
Big racing returns to Joburg.
William Robertson is a special horse and can win again.
Golden Palm at around 2/1 could be cracking value if back to his best.
Scottsville – Sunday
More to follow.
UK Racing
Cheltenham is in a bit of turmoil after some erratic results.
The Champion Hurdle, Champion Chase and Gold Cup 🏆 all look a little confusing at this stage 😕
Newbury – Saturday
Haiti Couleurs vs Homme Presse is a proper clash.
Lulamba could be the star of the show.
Football
The Premier League title should go to Arsenal if they keep up their current form.
Manchester United are slowly getting back to normal.
Liverpool could do the Gunners a favour against City.
Hearts remain three points clear but still have Hibs to play this weekend.
They’re third favourites to break the Old Firm grip after 35 years — the Jambos are worth a punt.
Rugby – Six Nations
France are off to a strong start.
England look the main danger, and hopefully Scotland can rise to the occasion.
My song of the week comes from Eva Cassidy, who left us far too early. Her cover versions were simply outstanding.
🎵
Good punting 👍
