Chilly now; winter has arrived, nonetheless no rain however frost and doable snow so Carlisle are inspecting at 8am for his or her fixture tomorrow which has attracted 83 runners, a stark distinction to many latest fixtures.  It seems unlikely that Cream of the West will get his situations for the 12.30 however I hope we will run two pretty younger horses within the 2m 4f maiden hurdles; Orkney Blue within the 1.03 after which Scarlet Jet within the 1.33, Bruce rides them each.

Orkney Blue

Orkney Blue was an in depth 2nd to a great horse in his solely bumper with one other good horse in third; 2m 4f spherical the skin monitor ought to swimsuit nicely so I’d prefer to suppose he’ll give a great account, particularly if the bottom is mushy – 11 run.  Scarlet Jet received his solely level to level and located 2 miles spherical Ayr a bit sharp on his hurdling debut so situations tomorrow ought to swimsuit significantly better – 10 run.

Scarlet Jet

We had a reasonably average day at Ayr final Wednesday; we have been happy with Gorvennec’s third and Cut up Stone made a beautiful debut till fading late on however Artic Row took a heavy fall two out when nonetheless holding each probability – miraculously he appears completely effective however under no circumstances good for the nerves!

Newcastle two weeks in the past; poor fields once more there final week however what strikes me is how empty the stands are. There have been actually good crowds in all places I’ve been racing lately however the proliferation of all climate racing has decimated native curiosity at Newcastle which is a disgrace.

 

We’ve been reducing a number of timber down within the Kinneston hinterland!
