Very stormy weather today.  Plenty of rain all over the Channel Islands.

Hopefully the windy conditions will not hamper the racing scheduled for Kempton today.  With the biggest field of the day at 4.30.  Only ten line up in the 6f event.  It is not a race I am likely to have a bet in, as it is very competitive.  I do think Rainbow Dancer 3.55 might just edge it over King’s Advice.  Both horses are genuine, and it will be a good race to watch.

It was really good to see Cyrname get up yesterday, he fell heavily in the Betfair Chase.  He was out on his feet from turning into the straight, and I think everyone feared the worst.  He was heavily winded, and I’m pretty sure he will be very sore this morning.

The race went to Riders Onthe Storm, who galloped on from the last fence, with his closest rival Traffic Fluide, having loomed up, who did look to me as though he may of won, if he had jumped the last fence well.  But it is a jump event.  He tipped up, but was quickly up to his feet, so if none the worse, I’m sure he will race again soon.

More tomorrow.
