Runners tomorrow, February 11th, 2008

We have two runners tomorrow, one of hurdles and one on the flat.

Hope Road runs at Plumpton and Timmy Murphy rides. Unfortunately Timmy was unable to take the mount for Hope Road's first run at Warwick as he had been signed-off by the Doctor.

We were very disappointed with his first run as we had expected a lot more! It may have been the ground which was desperate that day. The ground tomorrow should be a lot better and we hope he runs a much better race.

One of the co-owners of Hope Road, my mother, will be there to cheer him on after just getting back from a four month trip to Nepal and India where she taught English as a foreign language in Katmandu.

The other runner tomorrow is Savile's Delight. If it wasn't for the 'fantastic' we would be quite confident of a good run but it's possible that stall 12 has ruined his chance. The horse has run over 7 furlongs in the past and we are happy he will stay but he's going to have to come through a wall of horses and would have to be very lucky in running to win. I'm unsure whether we will be improving the 56% strike rate on the flat for 2008.
