Digressing slightly off topic but the prodigal sons blog has been deleted off the web, you know the one.

Call me a racing genius or something, but I'm 100% certain that Desirable Court will win the 15:15 at Warwick
Will it win by default, be made to run the course solo, or will the race be voided? It must be the first option I guess if you're going for 100%.
For a walk-over, the horse just needs to run past the judge. It doesn't run the full course (one furlong is sufficient) and doesn't jump fences

Thx Derek for clearing that up. Did it return an SP? Everything I look at says 2/1 which either can't be right or I've missed the deal of the millennium. I've been away from my desk today so didnt see what happened.

I’m putting it down to seasonality, October, so I gather can be quite tricky, the transition from flat to jumps demands patience & experience I would imagine?

Oddly enough there's no mention of rule 4! I suspect deductions on 11/8 and 9/4 would be in the 60-70% range.

I like this time of year with Arc weekend coming up, Breeder's Cup, followed by the big NH meetings.

Y, it can be quite a mixed bag this time of year until we get into Nov and the jumps season gets going
