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.

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"!
