Racing Abandoned!

              It's a wet start this morning!

Racing at Plumpton today is abandoned due to a waterlogged track, - which means no racing for us today!  Unfortunately for us, Leicester was also called off yesterday after the track received snow on Saturday night. We were due to have one runner there, Sizing Pottsie who I hoped had a good chance, but he has to wait for another day. Racing went ahead at Carlisle after two inspections, but there were a lot of non-runners.  A lot of these were due to travel disruption with snow preventing some horses getting to the track. It was a bit sad to see a couple of two horse races, but sometimes these things cannot be helped. The meeting at Southwell yesterday was also lost due to snow and difficulty in people accessing the course . The meeting was put on as an extra jumpers bumpers card with the anticipation of abandoning meetings, but funnily enough, it was lost to the elements itself!  Flat action returns after a week off with a meeting at Wolverhampton, there is no racing in Ireland today.

It was not to be for remastered at Newbury on Saturday. He looks to be going well until a mistake at the water jump in front of the stands with the circuit to go.  He left his legs behind and lost all momentum. He did get back into the race okay, but was never really travelling the same afterwards. Disappointing obviously for the team but I am sure we can find easier opportunities for him as he still shows plenty of enthusiasm and ability at home.

Today, David and Gerry Supple are on their way to London for the Horse Writers Awards, their annual day out. They go as guests of Mike Vince and I know Patrick Mullins amongst others will be on their table so I am sure they will have a good day!

We won’t talk about Manchester United, they were poor and lost to Newcastle United on Saturday evening. I watched an entertaining game between Manchester City and Spurs, which had plenty of goals and finished 3-3.

In the earlier Sunday action, both Chelsea and Liverpool won their games while the other two matches finished in a draw.

There are no Premiership matches this evening, but there is an FA Cup second round game between Wimbledon and Ramsgate.
