Hi Swingaleg

I'll be away for the weekend. Can I have number one ( or 2 if there isnt one) please)
Thanks

Decent card at York on Sunday.......the feature race is the Listed sprint..............all the big boys are at Haydock for the 'Vernons Sprint Cup' as I like to think of it..............

So a chance for the horses who are too high in the ratings to win handicaps but not good enough to win group races

Note that the ground is likely to change from good to firm to soft with the prospect of lots of rain over the next couple of days - might be an idea to stick in a reserve if you're not around on Sunday. Bound to be a few non runners if the ground changes dramatically

Good luck everyone !
