    In my limited experience of fakenham is a front runners track. Shesupincourt if she stays she wins.

    I’ve never been pointing but will probably go to the next point meet at Fakenham, I think it might be April.

    It makes me laugh. Hotpot which had money for it, pulled, after money starts pouring in for the 2nd string. Won with tons in hand. Not a word said, yet McNally is vilified and made an example of.

    Thought Seymour Promise was going in for a shock result but ran a fine race to finish second at 16/1 SP. Although hampered at the last, he would not have beaten the winner who came from way back to take the race comfortably. As Stick just commented, the crashes were not pretty to watch. Do hope the horses and riders involved will be OK (one had a particularly nasty fall), that's what is really important.

    The falls were bad enough Swanny but the horror bit was the Pauling horse having a heart attack on the way back in.

    In the two minutes before off time drifted from 8/1 out to 20/1 so knew the game was up. Moved up promisingly on the final circuit but emptied very quickly after the third last.

    Evs turned out to be a good bet <ok>. My reverse forecast wasn't to be (Deep Sigh last, drifted to 18/1) and the Bay Warrior got a lot closer than I thought

    Made hard work for the win. Pundits thought Storm Chaser had another win in him. I would go against it.
