Return of racing today in the UK. I was reading an article about the number of “hot spots” for the current pandemic, and Gateshead and areas around Newcastle are high on number of cases !

I am sure the right procedures will be in place, and every precaution will be taken to keep people safe. I have heard Freedom Flyer 2.10 is going well at home, he has been supported in the betting market, currently around 9/4. It is always good to bet with a bit of caution over the first week or so, finding out who has their stable in good form is a must. Over in France today, Trop-beau will be trying to win the French 1,000 Guineas at Deauville 3.25. She won well in her trial race, and looks like the one to beat. The 2,000 Guineas colts race, I think is quite open, Victor Ludorum was a flop on his return recently, although he raced keenly, and saw a lot of daylight, I would expect a lot better effort today, and will not be surprised if he shows his classy two year old form, and is the horse to beat for me.

More later.
