Late post today. ImFancied Midnight Shadow in the 5:25’at Wetherby, two small jumping errors over the last two flights cost him,  he ran a good second , only beaten a neck ! But hitting the woodwork a bit too much at the moment,

Some all weather racing at Newcastle this evening.  It looks a difficult card.  I do think they are open races.   It is hard work, particularly on races run on the straight track, the completion of the race on the all weather surface changes so much, horses tend to need stamina for a bit further than their usual best trip. The latter furlong of Newcastle changes so much.  I just saw an 80/1 shot get up in the shadows of the post to beat the hot favourite Drogon.

More later
