Well sometimes there are things that just can’t be accounted for. Haydock watered the track and then suffered a day of rain turning fast ground to soft ground in a matter of hours. Topolski needs top of the ground and although he can handle a bit of give, he just simply doesn’t handle soft conditions, so I won’t be giving up on him just yet. The same can be said for Angel’s Pursuit also suffered the change in conditions.

It is frustrating really when connections know that a horse cannot possibly win on the changing ground why they don’t pull it out. I knew come 2.30 that we were in for a torrid afternoon and sadly I was proved right. Still, even after a pretty terrible month I still have the confidence that we can turn things round. Those that know me well enough by now, will have the confidence to stick with it, as there is always a massive price winner lurking round the corner!
