Thursday 11 August 2011 Three runners of particular interest at Stratford Upon Avon this evening and this is how they fared: Jacko’s Boy (Martin Keighley/Sam Drinkwater) finished 5th in the Novices’ Handicap Chase (9 ran). Consult (Martin Keighley/Ian Popham) finished 3rd in the Handicap Hurdle (16 ran). Keltic Lord (PW Hiatt/Choc) finished 7th in the Handicap Chase (9 ran).
No National Hunt racing tomorrow, the next fixtures being Market Rasen on Saturday evening and Southwell on Sunday afternoon.
Although Bensalem and Manyriverstocross will be out of action for the foreseeable future, Katchit is back again this season ... however I know that Choc would like to see him have a long and happy retirement rather than be still plying his trade!
Second entry from 29 August says
The Betchworth Kid is expected to run in the November Handicap. Manyriverstocross, Bensalem and Thetwincamdrift have been injury sidelined for the season.
Don't know how reliable the info is, but as least it's from Choc Thornton's number 1 fan
