The William Hill Grand Prix Qualifier @ The Sportsman

[tikay]

Well here we are, safe & sound, we have arrived at Leg Two of the 4-stop Grand-Prix Land-Based Qualifier Tour, with Dublin & The Broadway still to come.

I gather The Sportsman has the SOLD OUT signs up this evening, so that's great news.

We have a bit of an iffy Inernet Connection in this Basement - but luxurious - Cardroom, so we are going to do our best to bring you a Mini Live Update, with Guest Updaters exactly as last week at Newcatle.

OK, I gotta go mingle - I'm an Official Mingler this evening - & once our Guest Updaters have finished Din-Din, they'll give you the low-down on tonight's Runners & Riders.

Shuffle Up & Deal is at 8pm. So sidle up & watch, right?

Thanks Mike and Mel

Comments passed on to Tighty and he gave a thoughtful nod, so your tips look good.  As for me I have forgotten how to play cards, I still have one hand going around in my head 

There is a buzz in the air here.  That pre-comp excitement that is such a special feeling!
