Tomorrow's all weather "racing"

Healthy field sizes lots of owners getting a chance to see there horses run and nobody is forced to have a bet.

18.20 Newcastle Kraken Power -did anyone ever mention the eyecatching run on 4 January? Won the next two times out and had a couple of nse and sh seconds.

I'm a flat fan. There are days when there is nothing but jumping.

Correct jimnast, do something else or watch Wetherby. All of the three AW meetings are on sky racing so no channel hopping needed if you prefer jumps. I will be betting on any Andrew Balding runners as usual but not much else today. Andrew seems to be gearing up for a big day at Kempton tomorrow. Owners will be pleased to get a run and the geographic spread gives any on course fans a good choice. We are blessed with plenty to watch if we enjoy racing and an off switch is always to hand.

A Balding. One runner today, one winner. Might be a few tomorrow.

People will always find something to moan about Sage (Nap)

A 6/1 winner at Wolverhampton, Southwell, Newcastle, Dundalk and Lingfield pays the same as Ascot, Aintree and Newmarket. Each to his own and if your horse is going to win it can win anywhere.

Pay your money and take your chance.

My own preference is NH then flat on grass.

No longer watch or bet the all weather.

Just too much of an ask to take it all in.

Opposite to me then. Hardly bother with the jumpers. We all have our likes and dislikes.

Low grade garbage? I doubt you could afford to shoe one. Why use that sort of insulting language about horses that cost a lot of money to keep in training and provide jobs for many people?

I tend to follow pedigrees, owners and trainers so I don't really mind about racing surface. Andrew Balding has a busy afternoon and I have backed all of his runners apart from Kings Lynn who is well exposed leaving 8. Much prefer the Kempton card on AW when turf would be heavy.

First Balding runner just caught but laid off in running. 7 to go.
