Today we have two "each way" selections for single and double bets...JUST DO IT!

Muss` OFF!

Tuesday's fixture at Musselburgh has been abandoned due to frost.

Officials at the Scottish venue delivered the news following an early-morning inspection, from which the situation soon became clear.

Clerk of the course Anthea Morshead said: "It got down to minus 3C overnight and the forecast this morning is for it to drop a couple more degrees. There's another cold night forecast so we had no chance."

Morshead also confirmed an 8am inspection for Wednesday morning ahead of Friday's meeting.

She added: "We are due to race again on Friday, but, at the moment, things are looking pretty bleak."

Have A GREAT Christmas...Back Boxing Day...If I Can Escape Their Clutches!!

Clerk of the course Barney Clifford is confident Kempton's William Hill King George VI Chase meeting will beat the cold snap.

The recent big freeze has cast doubt over several National Hunt fixtures on Boxing Day, with Towcester having already been abandoned. But with Kempton having deployed frost covers over the entirety of the track, officials at the Sunbury circuit remain in high spirits.

Clifford said: "If we were racing today we'd fall into the same trap as Haydock on Saturday that if we lifted the covers they would freeze behind us, so it's a good job they are in place. Looking ahead, the temperatures are due to rise from tonight and over the next three or four days."

He added: "We've got some precipitation coming through - showers of rain and sleet - but temperatures are set to rise to four degrees tomorrow and five degrees Christmas Day and hopefully increasing through Boxing Day and December 27. It's perfectly raceable under the covers, they keep the ground temperature high.

"Prior to employing the covers, we were good to soft and we've had 10 millimetres of precipitation but you still couldn't call it anything other than good. It might ride a bit dead."

Coral Welsh National Update

Le Beau Bai is bang on target for the Coral Welsh National on December 28 at Chepstow after appearing among 59 possibles at the latest entry stage.

A total of 23 were taking out of the marathon event, but trainer Richard Lee reports his six-year-old to be on great terms with himself after defying 11st 12lb in desperate conditions on his last start to win by 21 lengths.

He has been raised 9lb by the handicapper, but escapes with just a 4lb penalty and Lee said: "Everything's fine with him at the moment. We'll be hoping for a wet Christmas rather than a white one but we can't organise the weather."

The handler continued: "He came out of his last race amazingly well and he's on target. You wouldn't have known the next day that he'd been to the races. The handicapper seems to think he is improving quickly as he's put him up 9lb, but he can race off his old mark just with the penalty so we are well-in.

"Ollie Greenall will keep the ride. I don't imagine he'll be in a rush to get off him anyway and his father (Lord Daresbury) owns a small share in him."

All the other major contenders stood their ground including the Willie Mullins pair of Beroni and Our Monty. Paul Nicholls has left in The Tother One, What A Friend, Nozic and My Will among others, while former winner Miko De Beauchene remains for Venetia Williams.

Tim Vaughan has left in Atouchbetweenacara (my fancy) after his run at Cheltenham along with Flintoff.

Cappa Bleu remains for Evan Williams, Hello Bud and Ballyfitz head Nigel Twiston-Davies' team while Grand National hero Mon Mome heads the weights, just ahead of former winner Halcon Genelardais.

Well Done Dickie!

Victory on Fighting Chance at Newbury proved a landmark for Richard Johnson as the perennial bridesmaid to Tony McCoy in the championship race reached 2,000 career winners.

Johnson had moved to within one of the magical figure with a double at Hereford on Sunday, but was out of luck on his sole ride of the day on Monday, while his trip to Folkestone on Tuesday was thwarted through frost. However, he made no mistake at the Berkshire venue.

Fighting Chance, trained by Richard Lee and sent off the 4-1 favourite, beat Wheels Up - ridden by McCoy - in the Powersolve Electronics Greatwood Charity Handicap Chase.

Johnson, 32, said: "It was a bit frustrating after the second ride when the horse (Quinz) fell, but it's just lovely to get to this mark and I'm just very lucky really. I think AP (McCoy) was just being nice to me not coming by me up the straight. It's fantastic to get here and there are too many people to thank."

While undoubtedly one of the finest jump jockeys ever, Johnson remains frustrated in his pursuit of McCoy, finishing second in the title in 11 of the last 12 seasons.

Johnson added: "AP shows no signs of stopping and I'll keep trying to get in front of him. He is not keen on letting anyone by him but as long as I'm enjoying it, I am not planning on stopping soon."

Three and Easy for Barry!

Veteran Trainer Reg Hollinshead Lands Treble

Veteran trainer Reg Hollinshead landed his first treble in five years at Wolverhampton to end a recent quiet spell.

Hollinshead has sent out only one winner from his Upper Longdon stable in the last 14 days, but he bounced back with a 218-1 trio courtesy of Iron Out, Heathyards Junior and African Cheetah.

Only last month, Hollinshead was named the winner of the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Award for 2009 after spending 60 years as a trainer.

Iron Out defied a 6lb penalty and top weight in division one of the Bet British With totepool Amateur Riders' Handicap to make it two wins in four days.

Stephen Harrison took the 11-4 shot to the front as the runners turned for home and they held on by a neck from Bavarica.

Andrew Hollinshead, representing his father, said: "The step up in trip has helped him, although we had tried him over this trip earlier in the year and he did not get home.

"Since then, he has finished second eight times, but now has won two on the spin." A return to Wolverhampton is on the cards on Boxing Day.

Heathyards Junior (12-1), ridden by Graham Gibbons, made it a brace in the Clean Concierge Maiden Stakes with victory by half a length over Cross Section.

It was something of an equine family affair as the three-year-old's dam, Heathyards Lady, won four times at Wolverhampton and half-brother Heathyards Pride was also a prolific winner.

Adam Kirby produced African Cheetah (7-2) with a late surge to take the totepool Our Profits Stay In Racing Handicap by a neck from Ansells Pride.

Mick Kinane...a pleasure to watch and cheer

Veteran jockey Mick Kinane has announced his retirement, ending a 34-year career in the saddle.

The 50-year-old bows out on a high after a truly memorable 2009 which saw him partner wonder horse Sea The Stars to six Group One wins, including an unprecedented 2000 Guineas-Derby-Arc treble.

In a statement to Press Association Sport, Kinane said: "I have decided this is the right time to retire from race-riding. At 50 I still feel fit and sharp enough to do any horse justice but, after the season I have just had in partnership with Sea The Stars, I have the privilege of being able to end my career as a jockey on an incredible high."

He added: "I leave with a huge sense of gratitude to all the great horses I have ridden, all the great trainers whose genius developed those champions and everybody else in racing, from the stable lads to the owners, who have made me deeply thankful for my involvement in the game.

"Teamwork is the key to success in racing and I have been blessed with some of the best alliances a jockey could have.

"The most important support of all throughout my career has, naturally, come from my wife, Catherine, along with my family and friends.

"Both Catherine and our two precious daughters, Sinead and Aisling, know how much they mean to me."

Kinane pointed to success on the Henry Cecil-trained Commander In Chief in 1993 as a significant moment.

Kinane said: "Your first Epsom Derby success is very special so winning on Commander In Chief was a huge milestone. My Derby-Oaks double on Galileo and Imagine was also very special.

"I will just be a small-time farmer from next week. I have no great plans so am going to spend some time with my wife and family and take stock."

Hereford Gets The Nod...one to follow there today!

This afternoon's meeting at Hereford goes ahead after the track passed an inspection.

A forecast frost forced clerk of the course Katie Stephens to call a morning check and although the temperature did drop below freezing overnight, she reports the track to be raceable.

She said: "We got down to minus three overnight so the temperature dropped quite low but it was much more an air frost than a penetrative ground frost. Although the track is still white over now, the frost has not got into the ground."

Got one to follow there today...on Members Line NOW!
