What a miserable day, hopefully a bit better tomorrow, but some meetings in doubt.
Newcastle off.

Wincanton and Cork have 8am inspections.

Sandown, Lingfield and Southwell (eve) remain.

FFS, 20 mins and a reorder of meetings?! Either leave the remaining post times as they are or delay Sandown by 5 mins.

After Xmas and the New Year I often take a break, looks like the same is on the cards this year as well.

Either month is low impact in the overall scheme of things.

Let's reschedule the 7f Lingfield 14:52 to 15:10, so it clashes in entirety with the 15:05 3m Chase at Sandown. There's only these two UK meetings left running ffs.

It's a joke!

I forget what course it was at today but on the jumps a horse wasn’t quite able to fluently make it, landed badly and tried to recover only a few gallops on and I saw his bottom right leg break and was running on it until pulled up :( I’ve never seen that before but that was a tough watch :( poor horsey :(

It was Cheerful Chap at Cork. Horrible sight. Even as an avid racing fan, I would be quite happy to see jumps removed altogether.

End of the road for horses when they break a leg unfortunately. They can't survive on three legs long enough for the required healing period.
