There's Your Karma, Ripe As Peaches (Free subscription) | yesterday
My gambling problems started at 13 years old. I was selected for a gymnastics team competing in an invitational in Spain; one of those trips where parents don't come - just coaches.

We wanted to nip up to Norfolk, not least because I needed to see Elizabeth's face. Mothers whose children live across the other side of the country or world will understand this feeling. It's a need to smell your child's neck that overwhelms you isn't it ?.... I hate the fact that she is a 6 (if you're lucky) hour drive away from us.

mainly large fields of mainly moderate animals at today´s flat meetings at Leicester and Newcastle. The only exceptions are the two conditions races at Leicester with 6 runners each. It is quite likely that Saeed bin Suroor and Frankie Dettori can win them both, with Dawnbreak in the 2yo race at 16.10 CT and Moonlife in the mile race for fillies half an hour later. Moonlife has not run since...
