The best occasion that can happen for me this week is that JENNIES SURPRISE can win the GRAND MILITARY GOLD CUP on Friday with Brodie Hampson ridding for her dad Mark Hampson who is in a Hospice at Wroughton near Swindon. The Yes No Wait Sorries syndicate is giving it to Mark to run in his name,this qualifies the horse to run in Marks name as he was a former Sergeant in the Royal Artillery for 22 year. Emblaze I agree with what you say and talking to lots of owners and trainers today they have had to run there horses over the last 3or 4 wet months as the jump season is nearly over the season finishes in April. When and if the going does improve we will see maximum runners for all the good races. Lots of horses who want fast ground cannot run during the summer because it's mostly lower grade racing. Sunday racing is very poor tomorrow but we have a couple to select at Huntingdon 3.30 BALLYRATH told today he's working very well. 4.30 SONG SAA he has been well schooled for this 1st run over hurdles. Final selection is at Sedgefield the Pipes send BELLA 3.50 with Tom Scudamore going for just one ride the stable must think this improving 5yo doesn't need a conditional to claim and have confidence in him carrying top weight. ALVARADO hated the ground but came out of the race ok and it was 11/2 miles shorter than the Grand National and he will come on for that race. I will post a gallops blog later when I go through my notes. GLA
