IT seemed like a good idea at the time... a dismal weekend under a snowy canvas cover at Whitstable with the family was only salvaged by a 20/1 winner for Sticky Wicket tipster Anne Beasley.
The Kent town might be famous for its oysters, but Beasley pulled out a rare pearl thanks to the Violent Jordan-trained Fairy Wing which lifted her team up 83 places to 10th place in the table.
There are just four Saturdays left of the winter campaign which finishes on April 20, the day of the Scottish Grand National at Ayr.
King’s Head United are still very much in contention for the £1,000 first prize.
They were one of five clubs to side with the Phil McEntee-trained Putin a day when selections were restricted to Southwell on the all weather, with all the jumping KO’d by snow.
On these occasions Southwell is frequently referred to as Penzance by our punters; ie: the last resort...
The Sammy Parker Trophy is now a three way fight between Yeoman Boys (14 winners), Aye Boy (11) and Growly Bears (10).
On Saturday, selections can be made at Haydock Park, Carlisle and a balmy Newton Abbot in the south west.
