Saturday's Superb Day of Racing Selections & Updates - 28 January

Late Friday afternoon, I decided that it would be a really good idea to go to Doncaster on Saturday to see Menorah and AiteenThirtythree both win.  


Then the Snake Pass closed......then the Woodhead Pass closed but has reopened.......then it snowed........then the racecourse announced a 07:45 inspection.  But I have bought new (waterproof) boots, dusted off my hat and hoping that (1) the course passed inspections and (2) all roads to Doncaster from my house are open...or at least one of them!


Well racing is on at Doncaster - the 07:45 inspection was cancelled when temperatures didn't drop below 2 deg.  BUT at the moment the Woodhead Pass (A628) is closed which mean twice the journey the long way around.  I have every hope that when the sun rises, the roads will improve though :)

Just the one winner but being paddock side helped me to pick a good few winners at the course (which I realise doesn't help anyone reading the blog but it was good for my betting pot :)

-3.57 loss for the blog though.

	Doncaster	First Choice	E/W or RF Choice
1	13:15	Lifestyle 3rd
2	13:50	Kid Cassidy 1st
3	14:20	Corkage 3rd	Jetnova (EW)  UP
4	14:50	Qianshan LeaderUP(5th)	Shakalakaboomboom(EW) 2nd
5	15:25	African Broadway (EW) UP

1/             Alasi 1st would be top pick but for the stable not firing presently. Geraghty has ridden Lifestyle five times and won on three of them.

2/             Love Menorah as I do, I feel that this is just practise whereas KC is in it to win it but this is probably a ‘watching’ race– AP is at Doncaster for two rides, this one and Galaxy Rock.

4/             Also backing Aiteenthirtythree as I don’t believe we’ve seen his full potential yet.

Until the morning,here's my nightly nap:
