Late post today.  Looking at the racing at Meydan (Dubai) at the moment, I miss the sun of Dubai ! It looks pretty quiet with Spectators, the only really busy days , with good crowds are the main days racing when it is the Dubai World Cup, the last day of the trial races about 3 weeks before the main race is also pretty busy, the rest of the meetings it is very quiet, it probably does not help that the stands and the whole racecourse is so big, and takes a huge crowd to fill it.

Looking at the evening meeting at Chelmsford, some interesting two year old races.  San Carlos 6:30 has been well supported in the betting, 2/1 from 13/2, his trainer may have found an average race, I hope he can win for my old weighing room colleague Shaun Keightley, who trains him, this horse ran well on debut, of others that have raced before,  they look nothing out of the ordinary.

The 8:00 is the main race, decent prize money of £32,000 for the winner.  It looks competitive, Lucky Deal probably has the best form on offer, although he has top weight, Aircraft Carrier won easily recently and runs with a 6lb penalty, he could well be a horse that is going the right way, and I think it’s between these two.
