Gin seems to have become a thing, and loads of my mates have started hammering flavoured Gin lately.

I don't go out drinking anymore, so only know through my PT telling me that they normally wallop a bottle most weekends.

A bottle doesn't last long in this house Tim. Tanqueray No.10 - it's bloody lovely
 
Morettis is certainly not session beer!!! had a few black teas since home and now all is right with the world
 
Angels Breath now odds on for tomorrow, come on could really do with this one going in (and going for the this race!!!!!!!)
 
If you like your rum try get your hands on a bottle of Brugal, nicest dark rum out there. I think its Spanish but its beautiful.
 
NR coz of ground, this is what Nicky had to say in his Unibet blog!

Angel’s Breath (Nico De Boinville)
He’s a nice looking son of Shantou who won his Irish Point to Point very impressively in April and he’s a horse we think an awful lot of. He will love the ground and is pretty forward so I’d be quite hopeful of a bold show

Hmmmm not sure what to make of that!

He’ll probably relish the ground in March billy but for his first runout it probably wasn’t ideal and Nicky wasn’t talking any chances as Willie is with his better crop.

Thankfully the rain has arrived in Ireland with a point to prove so Leopardstown/Limerick at Christmas should be plenty safe!
 
They really should change the name of the going descriptions (or just use the stick readings) as Good not being suitable just sounds ridiculous.

Heavy / Call it Slow
Soft / Call it Medium
Good / Call it Fast


Good sounds like it should be the middle option, but it's not, as we'd virtually never run on FIRM.




Ridiculous in this day and age the ground is described by a bloomin word anyway that isn't always backed up correctly.

2019 in a few weeks, still using terms used in the 1800's. It's embarassing.
