Let me start by wishing you all a Happy New Year

PREDICTIONS

Last year I forecast that Tony McCoy would retire and that Josephine Gordon would win the flat apprentice title.

Here are my, predictions for 2017

1. Ruby Walsh to retire after Cheltenham

2. The Stock market to crash before the end of April

3. Jack Kennedy to become number 1 jockey for Gigginstown

4. Zak Baker to turn professional

5. Sunderland to be relegated with Swansea

6. Andy Murray to become a father again

7. Raonic to reach at least 1 grand slam final

8. Kyle Edmond to make the world's top 20

All the best to you for 2017
