Towcester and Wincanton both raceable

THURSDAY'S meeting at Towcester has passed an 8am inspection.

Although the going is heavy, fears of waterlogging were allayed by just one millimetre of overnight rainfall.

Clerk of the course Robert Bellamy said: "Racing goes ahead, which is very good news.

"The forecast is for conditions to improve throughout the morning so we are going tobe totally fine."

Wincanton also got the green light after passsing its 7.30 am inspection following just one millimetre of rain overnight.

Clerk of the course Barry Johnson said: "We have passed the inspection and the ground is heavy, but perfectly raceable.

"We would not have wanted too much more rain, but what we had last night was fine.

Sods law abandoned - lol!

towcester is the most demanding course in the uk imo and with bottomless going today, its one to stay clear from

LOL!

Prob end Feb, we'll have a match race 2000m - loser buys a crate of JWB for the box!

You'll need to bring at least a MR73 or it'll be no contest LOL!

Jamster Ive learned one thing bout our stable that is starting to piss me off big time..and thats expect 5 runs a year..Im going there tom to rectify that for my horses mate.

Its taken exactly 10 months my mate..Resolut ran 3 times in one week with Buddy incl 2 short head seconds..she now since Aug has run 3 times in 5 f......inb months!

Oscar. I don't have any problems with the amount of runs mate.

I think the guys don't believe in a 'shotgun' approach of sending runners out here, there and everywhere hoping to pick an odd cheque up mate.

I know they don't like running them just for the sake of running. I personally believe that a Hores only has a certain amount of 'good' runs in them - Unfortunately no one knows that number - lol!

In regard to my Filly, she went on a 'spelling' farm for a bit as she hadn't fullly 'grown out' - 16.3 now I believe!

Anyhow, now back in full training - once fit I hope she has a cpl of quick runs - over more of a trip. Then I'll see if she's matured into the Filly - as AB says - I've Dreamed of dbl-lol!!

Anyhow Oscar, I do know that certain Horses like more races/work than others, and I'm sure if you have a chat with the guys about who you feel will like more 'action' - they're reasonable lads, and no doubt take such views on board when planing a particular Horses schedule.

Chill my friend - and I'll see you chaps late March - Jim.
(ps don't forget that there have been a lot of missing meetings)
