Minus 2 and dry when driving in.. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!.. It will be colder tomorrow.
Mary Dulverton was here third lot to see Heros De Romay.
We have our usual vet visit and this weeks movers and shakers in the BHA handicap charts were..Chianti Classico up 1 to 143, El Rio down 3 to 121, Trelawne up 2 to 145, Two For Gold down 2 to 151 and Behind The Veil enters at 89.
Trelawne cut down many branches on his journey around Wetherby judging by the column inches written by Matt Chapman and Cornelius Lysaght yesterday..Both articles were predictable but different..
To read Cornelius’s you will need to down load The Racing App (free) and swipe across to 'Articles' and scroll down to Cornelius’s corner..
When I spoke to CL last night he suggested that I take a screen shot or photo of his thoughts and use it as a photograph on here.... No. I suggest you download the app and read the many articles that appear.. They will have you engrossed over the coming weeks..especially as we draw closer to the Cheltenham Festival..
Talking Cheltenham.. It happens to the best..
Again talking Cheltenham.. More early closing races..Why on earth does the National Hunt Challenge Cup for Amateur riders have to close so ridiculously early.. The old 4 mile chase!
Big day for the Brits Down under.. Australian Open
Jack Dreaper and Cameron Norrie through to the next round..Katie Boulter also..Dan Evans now playing. Emma Raducanu plays later this morning.
We had hoped to have two runners today.. Tregele was heading to Plumpton, but Plumpton is off.. Grand Escaparde likewise was heading to Chepstow but that is off too! Minus 6 at both racecourses overnight.
If this week is going to be short of racing then there is every hope that Cocklebarrow Races might survive on Sunday. Or is this just wishful thinking?
A coach load of Irishmen on a mystery tour decided to run a sweepstake to guess where they were going.
The driver won £52!
