“Good morning Epsom…..”
Heat haze at Tattenham Corner. You can write The Sun headline – “Phew what a Scorcher.”
The blue moon and a heat wave coming together over a Bank Holiday weekend…
Hydration. For man and beast…
To Goodwood yesterday. Briefly. Tallulah’s birthday on Thursday and a posse of her mates atop those gilded Downs in fabulous sunshine. I watched a couple of races with them before drawing stumps. Only so much fun in watching other people’s horses run around a field. Albeit the prettiest field in the South of England…
Back there later. VESPER HONEY (Pat Cosgrave) on debut in a highly competitive fillies contest. Goodwood producing excellent prize money as ever with maidens and novices carrying a minimum £20,000 prize fund. Good on them. Put up the money and the horses will come…
Although those reading these words from foreign fields will be amazed that “£20,000 prize fund” is not the norm. Several furlongs from it…
From Goodwood to Windsor. SatNav says an hour and twenty. Which would work as DANGER ALERT runs in the first, a sprint handicap with 247 runners…
Then we have PERIGORD NOIR, SHADOWMERE and NARANKA….
Neil Callan up on the first three, Liam Wright on Naranka…
Long day. Here’s hoping for a good day in the sunshine, and that all of our runners give us hope for the campaign ahead…
