A disappointing set of Carlisle results for the blog yesterday but the Auteuil selections on Twitter yielded a massive profit with returns coming from 6 of 8 races.
🌟 Bet Of The Meeting 🌟#CARLISLE – 13.50 HAPPY DIVA is a really likeable mare and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get back on track having departed…
Good luck to the lovely Lex Eleven at Taunton today, here she leading the gang at Wetherby earlier in the year, at the back is the brilliant @gillian_boanas and the gorgeous Oliver’s Betty pic.twitter.com/ntaZUo9tkw
Here we all are, bright and early, for another Behind Closed Doors raceday. We were dry overnight, possibility of a light shower this morning, but otherwise remaining dry all day, with a gentle breeze. Going remains unchanged at Good to Soft, Soft in Places.
I’d just like to reach out to blog readers today who I know are struggling to various degrees (mentally, financially etc) with these lockdown restrictions. Today is yet another hard miss to stomach as Betfair Chase Day always attracts a decent crowd and is always attended by your absolute hardcore NH fans/supporters. It is also another fixture where like-minded individuals meet and rejoice as a collective which sadly won’t happen today. It’s just another fixture on a long list of disappointments for many.
If you know somebody who you regularly meet up with at the races but you haven’t seen or heard from in a while, then try if you are able to reach out to them today. They too will be hurting inside just as much as you are today.
News this week gives us some light at the end of a very long tunnel, so lets also rejoice in the fact that we will be standing together as friends on a racecourse sooner than you think.
I'm Steve Mullington from Rochdale. My blog is about the ups & downs of a regular punter and sports fan. A place to come to share ideas, tips and of course-friendly banter!
