Racing Chat - Monday Oct 29th

Must be exciting today, nobody has any views on the days racing!

205 Ayr: Trongate 6/5 Unibet
For what its worth my Nap runs at Ayr over jumps, Richard Johnson is making the trip up to ride 3 horses and has picked up this one for Iain Jardine. He wouldn't have rode many for the yard but this looks a solid bet to me. He won at Kelso last time after placed efforts behind a couple of Gordon Elliott improvers, very solid form.

I see the two horses owned by King Power have been withdrawn at Leicester. Such a tragedy and our thoughts are with the 5 victims families that died in the crash on Saturday night.

My brother and his son were at the match and it has hit the City very hard, all the fans looked up to Vichai and he was very generous towards the City as a whole, donating millions of pounds to the Hospital and University as well as other charities. (I moved up to the North from Leicester 3 years ago).

Not sure what happens to the horses he has in training, I suspect many of them were going to be sold off anyway after their 2yo careers, obviously the best ones would be kept for next year. His son had a lot to do with the horses I believe so maybe the blue and white colours will still be around for a while yet.
