Brocklesby Bill playing Hide and Seek at Salisbury....

I wonder if they'll catch him before the next race is due off?

Salisbury 16:50 stewards. Quite a bump, but won a good head and runner-up looked well held. 1.3 to keep looks a bit of a steal?

ATR: "Appeared not to stay but raced freely when beaten 9 1/2l in a nursery over 8f at Musselburgh last time; effective at 7f, never run on AW. Bred to get further than 1m but stamina remains unproven."

What a strange gamble - the commentator seemed bewildered by it.
And then the race started and he was last of five, struggled soon and only managed to overtake one horse to finish fourth of five.

Love races like this. TPD comes into its own!

Good dangle in the Chelmsford 18:15, and no slo-mo from RTV

It's a dangle-tastic 20 mins for photo finishes. Newcastle 18:30, Robert Havlin eases up on the fav and is so nearly caught!

Ooooooooooo...

Chelmsford 19:45 stewards. FPTP carried the 2nd a couple of widths wide in the run up to the line. Not quite enough in it IMO given the neck distance.

Market finally up in Specials. They've called it "Newcastle to keep the race"

Trading about 1.08 to keep.

They changed the name of this market to "Chelmsford to keep the race" after settlement!

The main picture at Newmarket is really hard to watch.
Almost makes my stomach turn...

I think it's a bit windy.
