this week's entries

I'm in Birmingham and every time I look out the window it's hosing down. Think I need to move to near Newbury or Ascot as they are acting like they aren't getting a drop.

What's gonna happen is the rain will come then the ground will go straight to heavy and the same trainers will say we can't run our horses the ground is too soft.

They'll have to start running these top races elsewhere if the clerk's continue to be stubborn and not water the ass off these Flat Race tracks. Sort it out you Dicks.

If they did that it would lead to abandoned meetings in the winter as the water table would be artificially high

Essentially they can't win

As I said, they'll need to move tracks then. Can't carry on like this. It's pathetic.
 
Only option is poly track jumps racing
 
Dysart Dynamo and el fabiolo entered up at thurles 2m2f in a fortnight.

Gaelic warrior and quais de Paris in 2m hurdle too

Think it's the same race as Un De Sceaux started in (when he fell), so I expect Dysart Dynamo may take up the engagement, as he, like Un De Sceaux, is a head case :highly_amused:

Haha well spotted. If he can jump well he could be top top class over 2m imo. Especially the fact he can stay further from his bumper days. Catch me if you can mentality which as someone mentioned if Jonbon copies the Supreme run could set it up for someone else.

I can trump that, Carefully Selected is entered up off a 996 day absense. I thought he was long gone :highly_amused:

Great news. Really looking forward to him. I like the trip too. Start him off short and move into the mid-trip hopefully.

It’s a nice card to be fair. Willie starting to get his rolling which is a good sign.

The Gooner declared on Sunday over 2m3 for Jonjo. Excited to see how he gets on.
 
Up the Arse !

Jonjo will probably have him up the arse of the field and a never closer 5th for 3 runs so he can win a poxy handicap hurdle for ?15k.

The owner has spent a fair fortune now on horses and sent them to Jonjo so hopefully he will run on his merit.
