Minus 3 and dry when driving in.
It was pretty miserable here last night.. snowing and raining during evening stables.. No fun.. Every horse, or more or less every horse was videoed for their owner weekly update
David Bass, Ciaran Gethings, Chester Williams and Harry Beswick were in this morning to ride out.
A big days racing for First Flow.. His first Grade one.. Taking on the best two milers in the country and for my thoughts on his chances please click here.
First Flow is our only runner of the day and we do have a runner at Hereford tomorrow if it goes ahead.. It is the third attempt for The Edgar Wallace to go racing.. the last two were called off at the last minute and I just hope it either goes ahead or is called off this afternoon when they inspect.. No more late decisions…Anyway for my thoughts on his chances please click here.

Not sure this really suitable for a weekend but..
