A letter from Philippe Auclair - josimarfootball.com The reality we at Josimar face is stark. Should we fail to raise € 50k by 1 July, the world's only investigative media dedicated solely to football will cease to exist.

Shocking but not surprising...

I'm siding with Florida Dreams in the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso tomorrow.

He's not been running badly at all and looks to me like one of those that saves his best for warmer, drier conditions.

11/1 looks good value.

Isn't this an attempt at humour?

I'm fairly sure Mr. Blanchard is joking.

School head who sued parents over ‘campaign of abuse’ and won Kevin Flanagan went to court after what he says was harassment in person and on social media

This is excellent.

Parents are insufferable, and I say that as one.

A gutsy performance and a nice 9/1 winner.

Sticking with Famous Bridge in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (3.15).

Slightly disappointing last time out but the extra distance and first time headgear could unlock him. The bit of rain about this morning will do his chances no harm either.

Non-runner, for the sake of transparency. We live to fight another day...

Wasn't beating Joyeuse in any event 🛫

I do like the look of Harry Derham's Givemefive in first time blinkers under Harry Cobden on Saturday.

Stable is bang in form with three winners from four. Horse was poor last time out but he's surely better than his 130 rating???

25/1 with five places is my kind of bet.

Disagree with this.

27 out of 36 clubs either out already or through to the playoffs/next round.

We've seen some great individual games but all without much consequence.

I guess I'm just yearning in vain for a pure knockout.

Breaking my bluesky duck to say that this is truly excellent, so far.

The drive into the country in ep2 is wild, and just so very sad...
