Not a day to remember at Musselburgh

Both our runners finished well down the field on Sunday at Musselburgh.

So Many Roads travelled and jumped well to about 3 out in the staying handicap hurdle but found nil when asked for an effort and weakened over the last. Not the first time he's done this though. Having worked all over the top of his stable companions in recent weeks, we thought a tongue-tie might help him get home.
But there is clearly something amiss, his runs showing all the signals of potential wind issues. So, this'll need to be resolved and he may not appear again until next season.

To say the start of the 2m 4f handicap hurdle was unsatisfactory would be quite an understatement.
Subsequent non-runner Sanusoke had dug his heels in and was not showing any inclination to join the others in lining up at the start, and the jockeys were told to wait. Having received the signal to go without, the starter promptly dropped his flag which left our Eden Mill caught on his heels, losing several lengths in the process.
He normally races prominently but was stone last for most of the race and was unable to make any progress towards the front.

Just put a line through this race, then.

Can Lord complete a hat-trick?

Newcastle 20th February : 5.30 pm 1m  0-60  handicap (Class 6)

In a rich vein of form, and off a 1lb lower mark on official ratings since winning over 7 furlongs here on 13th February, Pallas Lord tries to record 3-in-a-row wins at Newcastle on Tuesday evening - or late afternoon if you prefer.

Pop Favourite snuck up the inner to defeat our lad in late January here, and if given a similar opening could prove dangerous.
Regular adversary Odd Socks Havana lines up again, and Rebecca's charge has a 6lb pull for a 1 length defeat over c&d on 10th February. So.....

Jason Hart gets on well with Pallas Lord, so best of luck to him and the Pallas Lord gang.
