Time for a rule change.

KSTIPS clients were involved in a totally unsatisfactory situation yesterday.

Our first selection Mukatadayyef was an easy winner having been smashed in from 9/2 to 11/4.

Our second selection Stay In My Heart lined up in the 4.25 at Hexham having been backed in from 12/1 to 8/1 . Well he may have lined up but he did not cross the starting line , digging his heels in and refusing to race.

This is not an uncommon occurrence. Yesterday the Irish bookmakers Paddy Power and Boylesports refunded all bets - most of their English counterparts did not.

I wish I was back living in Ireland!

Time for an announcement from the BHA.

Poland look bankers against Northern Ireland today.
