I saw a bit of the evening meeting at Kempton last night. A few of the races had some unlucky losers. Goodwood Showman in the 8:00 was second, to my eyes he was given a very average ride by Andrea Atzeni, who gave the horse an impossible task. Listening to the RUK racing pundits assessment of the ride was comical, ex jockey George Baker said the horse was given a ride that will give him ” confidence” well I think George needs to forget he was a jockey, he should forget that he knows a lot of the riders, and make a better assessment.
A good few meetings on today, just looking at some of the races at Chepstow. Five of the races have 8 or less runners in them. Far too much racing. Yarmouth is another track that has 5 races with 9 or less in them. Hopefully I can find a winner or two !
