First things first, it was very distressing to see two horses tragically killed in the parade ring at Newbury, which led to the abandonment of the meeting after the first race, it is always awful seeing horses getting injured or killed on the track never mind before they even make it onto the track. Let's not forget the horse's are the reason we love the sport and without them we have no racing, i hope they both suffered as little as possible and there deaths was instant.

Neighbourhood was a horse i wish i hadn't looked out for as he was never a factor and was soon out of the race when it started in earnest, a very poor effort indeed.

Native Coll seemed to be going ok for half the race then went out quicker than a Reggae band at a Klu Klux Klan meeting and was pulled up when miles behind, Money Trix made a mistake at the fifth fence then after negotiating the sixth was promptly pulled up with something amiss in the Irish Hennessy, a race i was convinced would not be won by the short price favourite and that was the right call but the wrong horse!

Rudi Trucker ran in a Hunter Chase and led for most of the race but was let down by some poor jumping and poor riding if i am totally honest, the race was won by the best jockey in the race and my horse finished second after a horse fell at the last, i think some of these riders in these races are very poor.

In the Pull Me Out Stakes at 4.50 i had two horses running for me the most fancied was Good Again who was very disappointing after drifting in the market, my other runner Layline also drifted after being well supported earlier in the day but travelled well coming round the home straight and stayed on well when looking sure to get swamped to end the afternoon only with a minor deficit.

I may consider a few small bets on the night racing which will be settled on tomorrow's blog.
