A heat breezy night, pretty spell of climate until you’re a racecourse attempting to run a jumps fixture. Good to agency at Kelso tomorrow and solely 32 runners left in for his or her 7 races, we now have one in every of them, Mrs Fox within the 3 runner Mares Bumper at 5.45, Bruce rides.
It’s a disgrace for the observe as they’ve put respectable sufficient prize cash into the fixture however it might be a lot better spent at a special time of 12 months as Coach’s don’t need to run their horse on agency floor for good causes. Nearly doing higher than Ffos Las although the place they’ve a 2 runner bumper with a 1-100 odds on shot, the shortest worth I’ve ever seen for any horserace, in case you can name it that.
Tough instances for summer season leaping and the races they’re scheduling don’t appear to be matching the obtainable horse inhabitants – bumpers, maidens and higher handicaps are struggling to seek out runners and I can’t see that enhancing within the coming months. Mrs Fox might be turned away after tomorrow which is able to go away us with three horses left in coaching to hopefully run at Perth subsequent month, truly three greater than we might usually have so let’s hope for some good floor.
An extended week at Goffs Doncaster Gross sales, commerce was robust and there was a terrific ambiance, good enjoyable if a bit irritating at instances as we had been underbidder too many instances however ultimately we got here away with three pretty horses to stay up for.
