I am delighted to add another artist to my links today. Lyn Beaumont is an Australian equine artist based in Victoria. Her work hangs in galleries and private collections in both Australia and overseas. Take a look at the link on the right of the page for more details and examples of Lyn’s work.

I featured Beef or Salmon yesterday, a dual winner of the JNwine chase. In 2004 he got the better of another leading Irish chaser, Kicking King (pictured below).
The two horses had fortunes when they visits to England. Despite his all conquering form in Ireland “Beefy” was never quite the same horse on the other side of the Irish Sea. His 4 attempts at the Cheltenham Gold Cup produced form figures of F4P0 while he unseated on his only trip to Aintree in the Betfair Bowl. He fared best at Haydock where he was twice runner up in the Lancashire Chase, first to the massive Kingscliffe and then behind Kauto Star.
Kicking King on the other hand seemed to enjoy his trips to England winning both the King George and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in the 2004/5 season.
The racing tomorrow is less bread and butter, more bread and thinly spread margarine! My best efforts at tips are as follow;
