And he's off . . .

It is, according to my publisher – a man who counts these kinds of things – over three months since I last posted an entry on this blog. Where the time has gone since my last update, I'm not quite sure. However, I promise to be more vigilant in keeping readers abreast of developments over the coming months. Indeed, there has been one particularly significant development – at least in book terms – since November 9th 2010. More of that later, though. And by later, I mean tomorrow. Suffice to say, I have received many more letters in the interim – some of which have shed light on one or two loose ends (don't get your hopes up, they are not that significant!) that I missed during the course of my research. I hope to replicate them in full, or at least in part, over the next few weeks.

For now, though, I want to bring your attention to the last race at Plumpton tomorrow evening – specificially the Timeform TV Focus Maiden Open National Hunt Flat Race and even more specifically horse No.3. Runners and riders

Surely worth a few shillings of anyone's money, no?
