Well a hard week for all, with Trainers losing wins over the flat and sticks so my feelings are with you as I know how important even a 0-65 win can be and have them taken away is galling to say the least.
Some top trainer performances from Both
Paul,
Jim &
Gray all getting 6+ wins over the week, well done.
Some highlights,
Jess, good for you sticking with it, only a small stable but finally hit the winners enclosure, I am sure more to come. It also appears the Antipodeans are also starting to fire,
Doug with his G2 win over the hunt & new boy
Jango with a G3.
Well chuffed with my week with a tinge of sadness, everything that performed so well at Cheltenham returned to their form and either fell, pulled up or were just plain rubbish, someone mentioned (Martin) that this was like real life, horses performing well at Cheltenham and crashing at Aintree, so blimey, for the first time the game followed real life
But that being said a win on the Hunt with
"Arabian Hands" winning a little hurdle at Aintree, so not all bad in the end.
The flat, I picked up two wins too, in lower handicaps so 3 for the week is great.
At the top of the pile, it looks as tho
Josh will win the Hunt championship has a 11 winner gap from
Jim, so unless something drastic happens, I imagine that's in the bag. The flat a little more exciting going into the last two weeks with
Paul on 52 and
Steve on 46 and with the last 2 weeks littered with top races and Steve's confession that the Breeders cup is where he as aimed his horses, it could go right down to the wire. Good luck to you both.
Finally well done to the team, a messy old week if we are honest, but not enough volunteers some weeks so things are sent to try us
(Gonna take a look at this Race running video, see if I can help the last couple of weeks, to ease the pressure a bit on those that already do)
