Monday 14 December

Bobby Gee is entered in a Beginners Chase at Uttoxeter on Friday, although there is a race for him at Huntingdon on Boxing Day that looks far more suitable. If he were to run on Friday it looks likely that he would be up against some horses with pretty smart hurdles form, and although a clear round is the primary aim after 2 hiccups, the race at Huntingdon on the 26th, with a ceiling of 115 looks the better option for him. With a cold snap forecast we will have to keep our eyes on the weather forecast as well - nothing is ever simple - and when it seems to be something always seems to bite you on the bum!! Galoshes is declared to go at Folkestone tomorrow, his first run for the yard, and a lot will be learnt, Sam rides. A good winner for SP at Doncaster on Saturday, but the life of a jump jockey is forever up and down, and so it proved when he was to fall on Laskari in the feature chase.
