Chelmsford Easter fixtures cancelled. Long term future in doubt after new owners fail to be granted license.

That's not ideal. I've always wondered how they've managed to survive. I thought there may be some financial wizardry going on there.

I've been a few times and it's always been surprisingly busy. I would be sad to see racing end permanently.

If you look at his previous races, he doesn’t respond well to being whipped or pushed. He had specific instructions from the trainer not to use the whip, which is why the jockey didn’t carry one. She tends to stop if she’s whipped or ridden too aggressively every horse is different. There probably should have been some clarification, but I just wanted to point that out.

there is a article about it

Thanks that clears it up it seems - probably should be noted by the comm. before and during the race as it just looks very bad

Yes, if I was the jockey I would be "no thanks"!

Came home like a train. I've been waiting for a clerk of scales objection.

It looks like one of my bots caught that, so I'm delighted.

Well done

The market didn't really pick up on the opportunity for a long time. It shortened the price a bit, but didn't think it was going to be a winner until right at the end.
