I know my boys and girls well, they won’t like it one little bit. The ebbs and flows of the league. My NH on the other hand have no such excuses this week. It’s bang on for many.

Week 2, day 1 was a mixed day on the flat. Two winners and lots of places but there were a couple of races where I would sack the jockeys.

Island Dance, my 1000 Guineas horse again showed she could be a real threat in the Guineas with her 2nd win of the season and Classic Action ran on very strongly to win the Tattersalls 10f listed race.

My sprinters are serious contenders in the league this season but they appear to be slow starters in the league. The second week running that one of my sprinters has started slowly and been trapped with no place to go in the final run in. Echo Mind's jockey in race 9 is not getting paid this week.

Unless my horse is a natural front runner, I always upload my horses with the instruction, "Don't Lead". Too many of my horses are going to the front too early and being run down in the final furlong. In my trials at home this instruction seems to work well but in the league it is being ignored.


I was not expecting much from my 6 horse NH stable but Town Sculpture ran on to a nice 2nd place in race 12's 2 mile maiden chase.


A very good day for David Robertson on the flat, I think I counted 3 winners, well done.

Congrats to all the other winners and a big thanks to the commentators and those who work behind the scenes.
