Yep
Today's Horse Racing
Looks a decent days racing quality wise throughout the day,from start to finish.Certainly better than a lot of Fridays
Gowran Park kicks off with a couple of interesting Maiden Hurdles,then a mix of very competitve handicaps,and two listed races.
Ascot starts with a decent 0-85 handicap ( lowest graded race on the card),then continues with a mix of class 2/3 races plus the listed Noel Murless stakes.
And the 2 jumps meetings at Fontwell and Hexham start with some decent competitve handicap hurdles among the early races.All races are class 3/4.and the class 2 handicap chase with only 5 runners looks ultra competitve ( price range 3.85 - 6.8 covering the 5 runners)
Only one class 5 on the whole afternoons card.and something for everyone
Always had a soft spot for maiden/ juvenile hurdles,and NHunt flat races, as sometimes a real star crops up in the most unexpected places.
Remember being at Catterick for a poor card just before Cheltenham and a certain Collier Hill made his debut in the bumper ( last race in card ). He won ( think I got 6/1)
He went on to win over hurdles , but also won many fiat races including 3 group ones ( Hong Kong Vase, Canadian international etc), and over £2 million in prize money... can anyone think of a better flat performer that started out in bumpers ?
Many a Run of the mill irish bumper or novice has thrown up unexpected stars .. be optimistic and enjoy !!

Never really get involved at Dundal but Dubai Rainbow looks a massive steamer at 3.05.
