super kenny calgary bay what Donn said about the last one... Calgary Bay The rain that fell on Prestbury Park on Friday afternoon did nothing to aid Calgary Bays chances in the Gold Cup, but he still ran really well, much better than his finishing position in sixth place, some 40 lengths behind the winner, suggest. He was a little free in the early stages for Graham Lee, and he didnt jump as well as he can, but he was still right there, one of just five horses in contention as they raced down to the third last. From there, however, he couldnt match his rivals for stamina, the hill and the energy-sapping ground taking their toll. As long as he has recovered from his Cheltenham exertions on time, he could be a different proposition at Aintree if the ground comes up good. The best run of the Henrietta Knight-trained geldings career to date was probably his penultimate run, when he danced in in a competitive three-mile handicap chase on good ground at Doncaster, a track that is not wholly dissimilar to Aintree in terms of configuration. He could go well at a big price if he takes his chance in the Totesport Bowl at the Grand National meeting. |

no one dropped out the big-un yet ? The only one I can possibly see coming out is Preists Leap, though I don't have much imagination. They may decide that as the horse is so out of form, and as the ground ain't gonna be Soft, that it ain't worth running. This is just secondguessing though. |

The going at Aintree eased slightly on the eve of the John Smith's Grand National meeting.
Clerk of the Course Andrew Tulloch changed the going on the Grand National course to soft, good to soft in places (from Good to soft, soft in places) after two millimetres of rain overnight and maintained that going description at the end of the day. The Mildmay and Hurdle courses remain good to soft, good in places. The GoingStick readings at 4pm on Wednesday were Mildmay course 6.6; Hurdle course 6.4 and Grand National course 5.4 Tullloch said: "The National course is retaining the moisture as the majority of the ground has not been raced on since last year's John Smith's Grand National meeting. "We may get a bit of drizzle on Thursday but it is meant to be mainly dry. Friday afternoon and Saturday are forecast to be dry and the temperatures are set to increase as we approach the John Smith's Grand National. "The Mildmay and Hurdle courses ride a bit quicker because of a different soil substructure but we will have fresh ground on the bends each day." |

Safari Journey is my nap tomorrow.
Been waiting for this all winter and thought he had a massive chance in the Grand Annual until the rain came. He loves the spring, won twice last April and has shown decent form this season, when second to Snap Tie earlier in the year. Ran really well in the Grand Annual to come sixth and has since been dropped a pound which is generous. If the ground dries out he has to have a massive chance. Flint booked is a very good move. Also looking at The Nightingale in the novice chase and Super Kenny in the novice hurdle. Won't be around tomorrow, so good luck y'all. B-) |
