Racing hasn’t had it easy this winter. Over half the meetings lost in December, November wasn’t a bundle of joy and the start of the year hasn’t really gone to plan.I am struggling to remember when we last had a normal week.<\/p>\n

Lots of good thoroughbreds need a decent run out ahead of Cheltenham, but few are getting one. Just when you think you have seen it all; we see, on what was going to be a great days racing, a disaster at Newbury. It’s too early to speculate on exactly what happened, but it’s ripped a hole in what should have been a very good day. Let’s hope they solve the problem quickly and make sure it never happens again. A very sad day for connections and all involved. Nicky Henderson described the events were ‘Like a horror story’<\/p>\n

With half term on the horizon and a quieter month I think it’s time to have a break from things to return fully charged for peak season. Winter isn’t outstanding at the best of times, so little is lost by going for some R&R at this time of year. Horrible incident, let’s hope they get to the bottom of it quickly.<\/p>\n
