Scared or not, if you are going to write professionally, you must learn to spell professionally. It's a minimum requirement

In the main, National Hunt and Steeple Chasing, my forte but write up's for big races such as The Grand National etc. They were apparently really Impressed with my write up for The King George at Christmas here on this forum because I gave so much Information.

The first parody you did recently about FG members in the Horse Race was excellent. I'm very glad for this achievement, oscar; it's an honour to know a Member of the Press!

Lady J Thank You Lady J

There are many more females In the sport these days but It was once referred to as ' The Sport of Kings....Even until recently It's been a predominantly male dominated arena. Sadly there are still many misogynists out there who truly believe that a woman can't possibly know more than them about this sport...

Well, I wrote an opening piece for my analysis of The Forthcoming Grand National and have had good comments.

This Is one of them.

' Hi Julie, wonderful insight, I am waiting for a bit more info on the runners. I am also delighted we have someone who has a niche for big races and meetings. I will wait for your updates with extreme interest and then consider my own preferences. Looking forward to your weekend thoughts Friday evening.
