Racing

Hope you all enjoyed the sporting dramas this weekend - the Premiership, the Championship, the SPL, Conference play-offs, IPL, World Snooker, rugby league thrashings, Guineas won by a nose and half a length, rugby union playoffs. Its all happening out there! Not to mention the drama of the Quiche Platter and an unexpected visit to the gay quarter of Birmingham I experienced at the weekend!

8.20 Exeter Nemetan 5/2 (WON +4.10 - A very game performance. Several runners came to take up the lead at various stages, but an excellent ride from Felix de Giles, who I think is destined for great things, meant that our horse was there at the right time and saw us home)
A reasonable handicap chaser for the last 18 months, he won 3 from 10, and four further places, but has been sent back over hurdles, after 5 unsuccessful attempts as a 5 year old. But his first race back over the smaller obstacles saw a 9 length second in a decent handicap at Chepstow. He's still 16lbs lower than his chase rating and should close that gap today.
