Wet and windy down here near Epsom where I am greatly looking forward to going to the Derby for the first time this afternoon.
Back up the road tomorrow morning for Perth’s Gold Cup fixture. The ground looks like being on the soft side of good and we have one runner – Maillot Blanc in the 17.37.
Maillot Blanc
He won this race last year and has been on great form this spring. As a result he has to carry top weight in a fairly competitive 14 runner handicap which will be a tough ask especially with a couple of potential improvers in the field. We will give it our best shot – Bruce rides.
He will most probably have a break after tomorrow and if that is the case we will have no horses in training for the next month. No harm in that as plenty to do and already looking forward to filling the yard up again early next month.
