[my miss storm cat]

Good luck tomorrow Caradak, Echo of Light and Bold Glance!

[NoChanceToDance]

Caradak beaten - what have they done with him? He USED to be a good horse.

Echo Of Light beaten - forgot to watch the race

Stage Gift beaten

Abydos beaten

Not a good day at all for the boys in blue.

[my miss storm cat]

At least he came in 3rd and behind two that I like so it's not as horrible as it could have been for me.

Appalachian Trail
Rahiyah
My Boy

Oh well.

I don't want to sound mean, but today's race was only a listed race at Redcar (basically a handicap). Caradak should be winning races like this stood on his head.

I just expected him to win today, so i didn't take much notice until i was flicking through the results. They have to be VERY disappointed with that.

I haven't seen a race in France today (kept missing them) so i can't tell you anything about Echo Of Light. Ground may have been too soft for him, but that's just a guess.
