With no racing over the next three days in the U.K. or Ireland it gives jockeys a few days to recharge batteries.  Reflecting on yesterday’s racing, hopefully followers will have backed Kildisart at Ascot 1:15, he was the one I thought would be the likely winner.  He only won a short head, but still a good effort, as this was only his second race over fences.  Wissahickon, who I thought would win at Lingfield, was short odds, but won well.

Looking at the entries on Boxing Day, the big Grade 1 Chase at Kempton over 3 miles is the King George Gold Cup, finding the winner is not going to be easy, you could make a case for at least 5 horses, that could win it, more on the race on the day ! A lot of horses double entered, but I will hopefully be able to find a winner or two.
