No Runners Tuesday

The jumps action comes from Fontwell this evening, which is the sole jumping card in Britain today. The flat action is coming from Salisbury alongside an all-weather card at Wolverhampton this afternoon. The evening action on the flat comes from Catterick while in Ireland, they are jumping at Sligo. The stable have no runners today.

Last night we were at Windsor with Ocean Heights, he didn't quite leave the stalls as fluently as he can and never travelled as well as he can but he kept galloping all the way to the line and was not beaten all that far in the end.  

Some news in the flat racing world as Juddmonte have confirmed that Colin Keane has been appointed as the retained rider to the leading operation, with immediate effect. Juddmonte have operated without a retained rider for more than a decade, since James Doyle ended a brief spell in the role in 2014.

Peter Easterby, the hugely successful trainer who founded a Yorkshire dynasty sadly passed away yesterday morning; he was a formidable operator on both codes and became the first man to train 1,000 winners under the both. His Sea Pigeon and Night Nurse were two of the sport’s biggest stars and are both buried now near North Yorkshire where his son Tim, now holds the license. He was Champion jumps trainer for three seasons, running from 1978-79 to 1980-81. He retired in 1996 and sent out 2,513 winners. 

Where are average things manufactured?

The satisfactory! 

Have a great Tuesday!
