Closutton runs again Sunday Huntingdon 3.30.
Best of luck all involved.

Thanks Eddie, hoping to sneak a place if possible.

Chosen Comrade runs in the Listen Mares Novice at Punchestown tomorrow. They have just called an inspection due to the forecast rain (and wind) - it is not looking good. We were very hopeful before so, hopefully, it will be on or rescheduled this week. I will spend the evening looking at flight changes - an expensive proposition based on the last five minutes of research! Chosen Comrade - Punchestown

Unfortunately Closutton damaged a tendon on Sunday and her racing days are now over.

It helps to explain her disappointing run at least, after travelling well for much of the race.

Sorry to hear that Grey.

Good luck today Paul and hope he lands a big slug of prize money to pay for the re-arranged flight!

Plundering runs tomorrow in the last at Randwick - fingers crossed for my ear !!

2nd - he’s a clever boy

 

[jinnyj]

Woohoo! Well done there and what a pretty boy with his long stockings!

 

[trudij]

His gorgeousness has nothing to do with why I fell in love with him… honest guv

 

[an capall]

Are you referring to me or the horsey?

 

[jinnyj]

You obviously AC - us ladies are all a little bit sweet on you on here.

Thought so.

(ps I have long stockings too, if needed.)

 

[jinnyj]

Why doesn't that surprise me!

 

[trudij]

Clever boy AND the gorgeousness for you my darling xx

Today my friends (mulitple friends in the partnership) horse ran at Chepstow (I've flagged it up before and I should have put it on the ones I fancied but to be horses, connections were a bit negative!) Anyway my bank has decided to not allow me to stick anything in my account. So I wasn't able to even put a teeny weeny bet on..
Just won at 14-1 at Chepstow - King of the Lake

 

[walsworth]

I backed it place only.

The owner friend of mine who owns Wolf Walker has another in today at Windsor in the 12.59 - Springtime Legend who is the daughter of the mare I have here. She's handicapping for the first time and has a decent pull with the likely fav, Bobbi with an I who only just beat her at Wincanton. She had a knee issue at Hereford so had surgery but was fine on her seasonal debut and should come on for that. Trainer thinks she is his best chance today and is a decent EW shout.

 

[jinnyj]

That was pretty disappointing.... She's not really having a crack at the hurdles and I suspect is thinking about the injury she got. Maybe I'd step her up to 3m too as the pace was too much.
Or just send her pointing!! Her mum won three at Larkhill so I think she would be happier down in that grade.
