Wednesday 15 July

The handicapper was not inclined to raise Kikos again yesterday - so that is good news, but the bad news is the weather forecast for Friday. It looks as though we will all be getting wet. The ground at Market Rasen is currently Good - Good To Firm in places, so it will take a bit of rain, but we certainly do not want it to get any softer than Good, and at the moment that scenario looks in the balance. I will of course keep all club members up to speed. It will be such a shame if we do not get to go on Saturday - as it is a wonderful days racing, with a good handicap hurdle and the summer plate - a very decent handicap chase. Being the only jumps meeting of the day all the top Jockeys will be there, and it should be a lot of fun.
