Chester

2 NR's in the 3.15 already, "bad draw syndrome" AGAIN. Maybe they should reduce maximum field sizes for the sprints ?

 

[Bar the Bull]

How about staggered starting stalls like for the 400m in the Olympics?

 

[trefflich]

There'll be enough staggering in Chester this week.

Most overrated meeting of the year. I would nix all three days coverage on channel 4 and put them elsewhere.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Wouldn't argue if you are talking about the class of the meeting but I enjoy the TV coverage from Chester, much better than being there.

 

[Cruella]

Nice winner for Sea The Stars in the Cheshire Oaks. I think we'll see a few of his apparently-exposed 2yos improve with age.

Huxley looks a good race tomorrow:

Noble Mission 11/4
Telecope 11/4
Ektihaam 7/2

I think a dutching of the latter two will show a profit. Noble Mission a terrible price on a course I doubt will suit.
