I Believe in Father Christmas on Boxing Day š¤£
Good morning, fellow punters!
I hope everyone will have a wonderful family Christmas.š
After we wrap up the festivities, itās time to gear up for some thrilling racing action on Boxing Day, traditionally the biggest day for racing in the UK.
Letās start with todayās rescheduledĀ WSB big raceĀ (weather permitting). Fingers crossed forĀ Total SurrenderĀ from the Houdalakis yard to put up a solid each-way performance at around 66/1. š
AtĀ Hollywood Greyville, keep an eye onĀ Zelta StarĀ andĀ Celtic Beauty, who both look like strong contenders.
The Boxing Day Focus:
Kempton ParkĀ steals the spotlight with a clash of champions in theĀ Christmas HurdleāLossiemouthĀ vsĀ Constitution Hill.
This four-horse race is a must-watch. While Burdett Road and Lump Sum are solid entries, the real battle lies between the big two.
Lossiemouth: Match-fit and in superb form, the Mouth gets my vote.
Constitution Hill: Coming off a yearās break, it may be a tough ask to hold off Lossiemouth, but donāt count the Hill out for a thrilling finish.
This race could set the stage for theĀ Champion Hurdle at CheltenhamĀ in March. Even if the Hill narrowly loses, the rematch could be a different story.
Elsewhere at Kempton,Ā The Jukebox Man andĀ KientzheimĀ look like solid bankers.
In theĀ King George, with no Willie Mullins runners, the race is wide open. Watch out for the French contenderĀ Il Est Francais, but pack your exotic bets with plenty of runners.
Mullins will instead focus onĀ Leopardstown, whereĀ Redemption DayĀ is his standout entry.
Note the 27th where Gaelic Warrior runsĀ
28th Brighterdaysahead in the Hurdle and Fact to File vs Galopin Des Champs in the Chase.
Have been checking for the Hollywood horse IL ETAIT TEMPS but maybe have to wait for Cheltenham.Ā
Queen mother possible but Ryanair a better option š
Other Boxing Day Meetings:
Sedgefield
Wetherby
Aintree
Fontwell
Market Rasen
Wincanton
Wolverhampton
Down Royal
Limerick
A true feast of racing awaits!
Song of the Day:
For todayās tune, Iāve chosen a classic that brings back memories of watchingĀ Greg Lake (RIP) of Emerson, Lake & Palmer fame, andĀ Ian AndersonĀ of Jethro Tull at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh.
HereāsĀ Greg LakeĀ with Ian Anderson on flute:
šµĀ IĀ BelieveĀ inĀ FatherĀ Christmas
Good punting and enjoy the action! š
