Nice and brief this week because finally we've got some weather that makes sense.

Across the uk we've had steady showers and everywhere the ground is riding on the soft side. The 3 year olds are going to have to get the trip at Epsom because the ground is slightly on the slow side.

The only weird place is Sandown which is still riding pretty firm. What is going down there? Elevated levels of global warming no doubt. Don't bother with South Africa and Australia for your winter sun, check out Sandown.

Best of luck this week!

BREAKING NEWS - HurricaneRun had absolutley no chance of Epsom glory!!!

this is ont he account of all his horses being gash on slow ground. it better be firm at ascot or ill be pissed off sick of all this soft and heavy malarky

I have an epsom specialist who likes it soft but didnt upload him because I thought it would be too firm for the rest of the season

i dont have an epsom specialist , never mind one who likes soft!!im gutted - york heavy this week, epsom soft for derby, guineas meeting good. no firm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My horses dont mind what the ground is like...............they run terrible what ever it is



Matt
