On the eve of St.Patrick's day will you have the luck of the Irish!?

This time tomorrow I intend on being on my 382nd pint! Hopefully be you Irish or not you will join in the 'craic' wherever you are! A few winners on Getminted Racing could pay for a few beers down the local!Just to put a smile on your face I spotted this letter from an Irish mother to her son in New York...have a read...

'Dear Paddy,

Your father has a new job, with 2,000 people under him. He's a gardener at the local cemetery.
Since I last wrote I have had all my teeth out and a new cooker put in.
I was going to send you a turkey but it got better.
I sent you a coat in the post. When the post office weighed it they said I'd have to pay extra for the buttons because they were so heavy. So I cut the buttons off. You'll find them in the top pocket.
We've had a threatening letter from the undertaker. Unless we pay the outstanding money for your grandma's funeral by Wednesday - up she comes.
I must close now. I would have enclosed some money, but I'd already sealed the envelope.
A team of council workers were drilling nearby and accidentally cut through the drains to the house. Since then there's been a terrible smell from your loving mother, Nancy.'

Scampi n Marmite - 8:24 - 58/1

Owned by our old friend Lord Jinxy this 2 year old fillie is improving slowly and may suprise all by getting a placed finish at long odds this evening. Bought on the 1st of March she has only been out twice thus far. Had a nightmare start to her career finishing 12th on muddy in Hong Kong. She picked herself up though and finished 6th in her last race over a longer distance in Dubai. Fast going might be the key to her success and at these odds she could be the tip of the night.


Ian Michael - 9:12 - 13/2

In a busy march this vastly experienced campaigner has notched up 4 placed finishes from 5 runs. Total statistics read 167 races, 29 wins and 73 placed finishes. Was especially unlucky not to have made it win number 30 on the 6th of March in Dubai when a late surge for the line by Silver Flamingo relegated the Lady Harkin trained 7 year old to second. Won on fast on the 20th of last month in Canada and should finish in the places tonight with a victory very possible.

Exorcist - 9:48 - 5/1

Fantastic name for a horse, if I was racing against it I'd leave it pass! Won in its very first race on the 2nd of March but since then hasn't been able to add to the total of one win. The best the Exorcist has managed over firm was a 4th place finish in a full field in Austraila. Full of potential, Exorcist could come close tonight.
