Today was looking to be a busy one full of racing action for the weekend, but with the weather playing its part throughout the whole week it is not quite looking as busy now! With Warwick and Wetherby abandoned alongside Kempton yesterday, we are left with a jumps card coming Ffos Las who will need to pass a 7:30am inspection. The all-weather action comes from Chelmsford, Wolverhampton and Newcastle. There is jumps racing at Fairyhouse in Ireland also providing they pass their inspection. 

The BHA and Ffos Las have been able to add the meeting today to ensure there is ITV coverage – from somewhere at least should it get the go ahead, the good news is that it does!  With just over 70 declarations for the meeting it has been well supported by owners and trainers. The Grade 2 Towton Novices’ Chase was rescheduled for today from Warwick and it looks to be a competitive one with seven runners, which you could all make a case for.  We do not have any runners today but fingers crossed we will be back in action at Exeter on Monday.

More good news as an additional jumps meeting has been arranged for Hereford on Wednesday due to the amount of abandonments this week.

In the point-to-point field, another weather related abandonment was the rescheduled Larkhill who unfortunately has not managed to survive to cold spell! The rescheduled card came as their meeting last weekend was abandoned due to the weather and unfortunately, there is no time for improvement this time around either.

Today, a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.

Have a great weekend!
