Borrowdale Park on Sunday seems set for several nail-biting finishes and the first race on the card is at 12.45.

The wily veteran Bugatti Blue has already won 10 races but must deal with stiff competition – yet again.  The Traffic Guard gelding will be receiving 2 kgs from Citrusdal, but both Tradition and Coffeeberry with weight on their side should also be competitive.

There was plenty of rain earlier in the week, but I hear the course has drained well.  In any case, the sting will, thankfully, have left the ground.

The last race tomorrow afternoon is the 1260m Sable Flyers (L), and Emerald Floe, winner of this feature event last year, is stepping out to defend her title. Of course Brianna, Sun Bird and Zavannahgold will be aiming to spoil her fun, and all of them are capable of doing just that.

I decided to turn over a new leaf at the start of this season. While happy to post information online, if it is available when expected, I no longer plan to spend too much of my time waiting around.   Suppressed fury isn’t good for me.
