    That was disappointing Doyle reported the ground was still soft and the draw just made it worse.


    Win your money back with this,

    6:00 Ascot Jule in the crown 11/4 reported to be very good.

    The winner of the last run race Grapevine slipped badly on the bend at about the 5f pole and did will to stay on his feet let alone win.

    If you have an iPhone down load the At the Races app and go to results, you can watch back the races if it was shown on ATR.

    Interesting piece I received today regarding Windforpower in the 3:00 Beverly
  • I was at Windsor last night for the Tuite runner in the fourth. I think the issue was that the track had put down 13 mm of water 24 hours earlier and only 3 mm had fallen on the night when it became slippy on the bend after the finishing line. The clerk of the course is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
    Thats NOT what the trainer said mind!!!

    Following on from Florencio's poor run at Chester, I know the draw never helped but he still never run to what he is capable of, James Doyle reported to Muir that he felt flo was making a gurgling noise when he pressed him for more and to pick up. The vet visited the yard this morning and reported that he was suffering from a soft palate problem that was partially blocking his airway. £1200 + vat later he carried out tie forward procedure and reported that the problem is now sorted permanently. This is really good news and explains why he has not been at he's best the last 2 runs when we were blaming conditions draws etc thank god Doyle rode him and picked up on it.

    The handicapper also revised his mark to 82, along with the op this means Flo is now in a great winning position next time out. He will be on the walker for the next 3 weeks before being able to race again.
