Turffontein night 23/10/13

How`s the weather..?

Very bad

Cleared up for about an hour in the East then started raining again

no chance of raceing i have 37mm today

one chance - and that's no chance - really pouring now - animals lining up two by two in my house!!

Hectic lightning

I hope they run tomorrow night, two horses I think that wouldn't mind the going, if soft to heavy, are (R2) Jumpstart and (R6) Balse. Both have raced over further than the distances they are running in, so I'm hoping they won't be stopping when the others might have cried enough.

I make Jumpstart (16/10) my best bet on the card. It's run over further and tends to race handy, so from a good draw, I think she will take a power of beating. The next two in the betting are drawn somewhat deep, so I'm hoping Fradd can dictate the pace from the get-go and nothing really runs on in the conditions.

Likewise Balse (7/2), has run over further and his form in the wet is no worse than any of the others. Strydom mustn't get too far out of his ground from a good draw because one of the lighter weighted runners could try and steal the race.

Here's to hoping they run.

Hi Bayern,i also liked Balse Tomorrow,but i was worried about the soft,he seemed to like the fast going last 2 runs..

Bayern,his 3 siblings have all won on the soft

I really hope we run, need to get Captain's Wild season started.

So there's hope after all, he did put up a good effort in the yielding from a bad draw, to none other than Wylie Hall in April this year. As someone said about a month ago, Balse may yet turn out to be a better as a 4 year old.

What's the chances clan? We racing!!!
