Gino (Horse Outside) looks to have a favourite’s chance in his A3 on Friday at 9.30. Whilst still having to wear the white jacket our youngster may have the measure of inside rivals to the first bend. There doesn’t appear to be a star in the race and, if avoiding first bend trouble, he should stay on too strongly for his rivals. Fingers crossed!

uncross those fingers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

28.85 (+.10) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A star is born!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a weekend when Norah’s kennel was flying high, Oscar and Wendy both put up highly respectable performances in their respective runs. Our blue girl lost nothing in defeat, taking bronze behind dead-heaters in her A2, she posted a personal best of 29.16 (inclusive of going allowance).
