Turffontein New Years day

Did you know that famous Irish Bookmakers Paddy Power bet on anything from 2 flys crawling up a wall,to Tiger Woods being dumped by another sponsor.

Recently they have recieved a bit of stick for one of their betting markets the next Volcano to Erupt.

The favorite volcano to erupt first is Japan's Mount Unzen,a bit unsensitive seing that In 1792, the collapse of one of its several lava domes triggered a tsunami that killed about 15,000 people in Japan's worst-ever volcanic-related disaster.

There are no active volcanoes in Ireland by the way!!




Anyway back to the whiskey and goodluck to the connections of Clan Clasique and Eruption


Please let the Lava flow!!!

Everybody seems to be having a nice sleep-in; 9:30 and no betting?

Apart from the obvious (Curved Ball), I fancy Smart Girl to continue the Magner yard's hot form, and in the last I like Young Captain
