Red Not Blue:
Forgive me for not updating you all sooner on Red Not Blue’s last run. I thought Red Not Blue ran a cracker at Market Rasen in a very competitive race (Class 2 Handicap Hurdle) and it seems that the jockey, Andrew Thornton, was right in that he is a very versatile horse regarding trip.
It was a great day, despite the long journey, with plenty of Red Not Blue’s loyal owners – ‘The Plums’ – being there. It is always good fun going racing with The Plum Merchants as they are ‘up’ for the occasion and love to see their horses at the races.
Yet again, another great get-together where we recounted the amusing stories after his last win on how some of them managed to get home – a fair bit later than planned…! No names mentioned.
Red Not Blue will run again tomorrow at Worcester.
Bath Races:
I watched a few races from Bath yesterday and I can’t say it made for good viewing. Most of the horses were either hanging badly, had their heads in the air or were not striding out with any rhythm or fluency. It was very clear that there were many hating the ground and they were having their arses smacked as well! Should we be putting horses through this and running them on such hard ground…?
