List of runners w/e 6th June 2009
02/06/2009
BACK AT THE RANCH will run at Fontwell in the Bumper on Wednesday 3rd, ground dependent. LEADENHALL LASS is well in herself and will run at Lingfield Park in the 3.20 on Thursday 4th. CACTUS KING has been disappointing this season and is entered at Lingfield on Saturday 6th in the 5.20. This is a lower grade race and we shall have to wait and see!
RECENT RACE REPORTS
09/06/2009
Leadenhall Lass was disappointing on the all weather at Lingfield and will now revert to turf and the fast conditions similar to those when she won last year. The target race is yet to be decided. Epsom Salts seems to be in the grip of the handicapper at the moment although he ran very well at Folkestone yesterday to finish 4th just a length and a half off the winner. He will be attempting a slightly shorter distance next time. Cactus King was disappointing on Saturday and hasn't performed well in all his runs this season. It has been decided to let him have a holiday away from the racecourse and will return later in the year.
FORTHCOMING RACE ENTRIES
15/06/2009
We have some 2-y-o runners in the next few days the first being SUPER DUPLEX, recently placed, and now returns to the fray on Saturday 20th June in a 7 furlong Maiden Auction at Lingfield and WHEIPA SNAPPA who makes his racecourse debut in a 6 furlong Maiden Auction at Windsor on Monday 22nd June. He may be joined by DO MORE BUSINESS who ran second in his first race and as a result is now under new ownership. All three horses are well
CHINOISE
18/06/2009
Chinoise had her debut race at Windsor on Monday 15th June when she finished a close up 5th. She was watched by her owner who had come up for Royal Ascot and her performance gave a good start to the week
RACE ENTRIES UPDATE
18/06/2009
ERMYN LODGE is entered for a 1 1/2mile Handicap at Windsor on Monday 22nd June. Second over this C&D before and even though Ian Mongan is not available we have been able to secure the services of Ted Durcan who has previously ridden him at Nottingham and we are hopeful for a big run. LEADENHALL LASS will not run at Windsor, as previously advertised here, in favour of a 3-y-o fillies only race over 6 furlongs at Salisbury on Wednesday 24th June. She will be ridden by Ian Mongan and despite a poor performance on the A/W last time we hope that a return to turf will show an improvement.
