Chepstow Week & Horse For Sale
October Hill - Horse For Sale
The countdown this week is to racing at Chepstow on Friday, which is the first of a now three day meeting at the track and is what many people see as the real jumps season getting underway. This year could be slightly different however; with the recent weather meaning that the ground will still be a little quicker than us trainers would like it for the ‘winter’ horses. Having said that, the hurdle races are being run on the flat course, which has been watered all summer, and this does make a huge difference, as the ground is likely to be genuinely good and safe. The ground is currently described as good to soft on the hurdles course and good on the chase track. They did not get any significant rain over the weekend and will be watering this week to maintain. The Welsh Champion hurdle has been moved back to the course (from Ffos Las) and will be run on Sunday with some great action to come before then as well. Read more...

There are two jumps meetings today at Ludlow and Sedgefield but the stable does not have any runners. The going descriptions are described as good to firm at Ludlow and good at the latter and is why there are not a huge amount of runners at Ludlow. They get underway at 2.05pm with what supposed to be a two runner novices hurdle but with the Paul Nicholls trained runner now a non runner it is a walkover! They do have a minimum of five runners in all the other races so a least there should be some good races to watch. Sedgefield has slightly more runners with their minimum field size being just four horses. There appears to be no rain in the immediate forecast so this could be a similar story for jumps racing in the next couple of weeks. There are two flat meetings today at Nottingham and Kempton while in Ireland they have a flat card at Navan.
