A late post today.  I was just watching the evening meeting at Chelmsford, the main race the 5:15 had a blackout about 2 furlongs from the finish.  Thankfully the jockeys and horses all finished off the race ok.  The race was declared void, as the judge could not ascertain what the winner was.  Watching the At The races footage, from the track they said that the horse they believe to have past the post in front was Florencio, but the race was void.  It looks as though it is a mechanical fault with the floodlights.  The remaining races have been called off.  A real shame for racegoers and trainers, owners and jockeys at the track,as you don’t get paid when something like this happens !

Tomorrows racing looks quite competitive at the race meetings.  Hopefully I can find a winner, pretty hard at the present at this time of year, but you have to remain positive !
