WE have a sensational few days of racing coming up and it should be ideal fare for getting the feet up and drinking what’s left of the Christmas booze.
On Boxing Day I’ve got three selections and I’ll be back with selections for the 27th and beyond too.
Have a listen to the Gambla Racing Podcast where we preview the Boxing Day action and I have an early selection for the Welsh Grand National:
