Spring is in the air....? - 4th March 2010

Maybe it's wishful thinking but i sense a bit of spring in the air at the moment but crikey it's been a long time coming. The extra hours of light really start shifting the coats and before long they will be gleaming.

JESSE JAMES was a little disappointing last night though i wasn't expecting a huge run all the same. I thought he looked a tad reluctant at one stage so will have to do some careful planning with him in the coming weeks.

It was actually nice to get back from the races last night as i risked my life letting Kevin Blake do the driving. I am pretty sure he got his license on the back of a weetbix packet!I think he has spent too long staring at computer screens as he has the peripheral vision of a Mole. Scary stuff.....

We had a couple of Street Power's owners up in the tower this morning, Godfrey and Karen are always good fun and really seem to get the most out of their charge. We are looking forward to another big year from him on the track. The form of Jaconet has really trumped the form line from his defeat at Lingfield last year and what we thought was a below par run was clearly not as bad as first thought.

I look forward to seeing Street Power back on the track this year. Regarding the driving, I'm surprised you let Kevin drive if he is that bad. Surely you have mastered the art of driving and eating pies by now Jeremy?

I can relate to that experience. Blake drives like he rides judging by one of your previous posts
