Has a meeting ever been abandoned due to the number of non-runners?

As today’s fields are once again decimated by non runners on the turf it is a stark reminder of the wisdom in my choice to focus all my attention on All Weather racing. Where the frustration of races taking on a different complexion with each omission is something seldom suffered to this degree!

Unlike yesterday I feel spoilt for choice in regard to the horse I would like to put forward for your consideration today and finally opted for Lingfield Park’s lucky last. 

In my opinion, the most consistent horse in the race, if not one of the most consistent horse on the All Weather, my pin has pointed to COPPERWOOD. With those I fear most in the race appearing not to be at their best and the level of consistency COPPERWOOD has shown over today’s C&D, 5-1 is a reasonable price.

For a horse that has been round the block, the jockey booking is also notable with Adam Kirby sitting on the horse for the first time and not one of the usual jockeys of choice for the stable.
