Another good winner for my subscribers yesterday. I advised backing Volcanic Sky 7.15 Leicester at 15/8. A cosy winner by just under 3 lengths.
With warm weather today, the final two races have been abandoned due to heat at Southwell. The 2.50 at Sandown has just finished, the riders on the horses that made the early running, went far too fast in the first mile of the race, setting the race up for the two that sat at the rear of the field. Tom Marquand On Just Hubert passed the line in front, about half a length in front of Buckman Tavern. I think the winner, Just Hubert could lose the race, he veered left inside the last furlong, badly impeding the second passed the post. The stewards are currently looking at the finish. But you never know with stewards, they are so inconsistent with decisions. I have said for many years, professional stewards are needed. Former jockeys do the role of stewards secretaries, but the stewards are not former jockeys, which makes no sense to me !
I thought today’s cards were pretty tough to solve, tight races. I did think Mrs Discome had a solid chance in the 4.45 Yarmouth. She did little wrong last time at Newmarket, a big filly, she should keep progressing. Her chief rival looks like the current favourite Lady Bowthorpe, who ran with a lot of promise last year, she looked a big filly, who will only get better with time to fill her big frame.
More later.
