Some decent racing today.  The first race at Market Rasen has two nice types in it, Deyraan de Carjac and Garretstown.  My slight preference is for the former, he is honest and ran well at Huntingdon when second, it will be a good race though between them, I can’t see any others troubling them.  The ground at Wincanton looks decent, dry conditions for January, although Plumpton turned soft yesterday.  The bumper at Wincanton has some well bred horses, no line to go on with form, usually it is best to follow the market in these races, they are the best guide to what is expected.

Really awful news today about the young girl who was killed at 22, Natasha Galpin was riding excercise at Iain Jardine’s yard.  I am not sure what happened, but racing can be so cruel sometimes, both Natasha and horse lost their lives in a freak accident. Iain and his team will be devasted by what has happened, he works really hard with his staff, hopefully they can find a way of trying to get through their difficult circumstances.

I may do an  update later today.
