We've seen in the past two season's now that Jessica Harrison is heading as a full time flat trainer. The class of flat horse she's getting is improving all the time and the winners on the board show how well she's done.

I`d be surprised if she gave up nh altogether BTD.
Interestingly, the owner(s) won the listed race on this card with Mingun a few years back. Might be worth keeping an eye on in the market later. |

Jessie is building up a nice client list of big hitters on the flat........Flat horses are easier to train and the dollars are better.........can see her 70/30 in favour of the flat fairly soon...........Most Irish NH trainers will be looking to train flat horses simply to balance the books. imo.

What was the crowd yesterday?

The crowd yesterday was 21768. Down 2500 on 2010. Not bad as Kidare were playing.
I think it was a good idea not to have the grandstand as it was easy to move between all the areas without having to show a badge all the time. Mind you getting a view of the horses in paddock was difficult. I usually like to see the horses on the racecourse side in the paddock but that little corridor was jam packed when I went up to see the Queen's horse. Mind you I only went to the paddock twice over the two days and was put off the winner both times!! On Saturday in the last maiden Freedom was imo not striding out whereas Cape Of Good Grace really stood out. I had the whisper for Freedom too but switched horses.  Also in the Derby I wasn't taken by Treasure Beach but Carlton House was a picture and so backed him with confidence at 11/8 with Rory Durkin. then even though there was the doubt about the trip. Not a good day at all for me esp as a backer of the jolly more often than not with none coming in yesterday. Fair play to Prospero who put me wide with Gimli's Rock my only collection of the day. |
