A Very Pleasant Party!

The horses continue to run well with Water Garden, Standing Ovation, Regal County, Weekend Millionair, Shallow Bay and Shoegazer all reaching the frame, but it was Midnight Tuesday who was the one to get his head in front when scoring at Worcester on Sunday under young Tom Bellamy. Tom certainly seems to get on well with our seven year old gelding and is now two wins from two starts aboard him. Read more...

Happy Birthday Peter Deal

with Chester Cup Winner Mamlook

David does not have any runners today but it is a busy day for racing with six meetings on around the country. We have the flat racing at Newbury, Newmarket, Thirsk and Doncaster and two jumps meetings at Bangor and Uttoxeter. What surprises me is how quick the ground seems to be drying out everywhere. Some of the going reports now say good to firm! After all that rain we have had and talk of floods it seems funny that we have got to this stage of going already although I guess at this time of year things do dry up pretty quickly. All eyes today will be on the 3.40pm race at Newbury where the Henry Cecil trained superstar Frankel puts is unbeaten credentials on the line. He has pacemaker Bullet Train also in the line up and Aidan O'Brien brings over a top class miler in Excelebration. Marco Botti trained this horse last year and Frankel will have to be at the top of his game to win but it looks a fascianting race and I hope the Champ comes out on top as that will be good for racing.
