Open Day in your diaries

First up, let me remind you that next Sunday 21st September is the annual Newmarket Open Day. For us it is nothing too different as our yard is open to owners and visitors all year round but if you've been meaning to pay us a visit then why not now as following many yards opening their doors to the public in the morning, there are a lot of fun and games up at the Rowley Mile racecourse. There'll be plenty of  refreshments on offer between 10am -12noon at ours so make it a date!

Hopefully there will be plenty to talk about as we have a load of runners this week, mostly at Yarmouth as the track hosts its last meeting before closing for the year and it is their big three-day meeting.

Starting at the seaside, but at Brighton, is Previous Acclaim on Monday. She ran well at the course last week despite suffering lots of interference in running so hopefully with a bit more luck this time she can get amongst the placings.

Then on Wednesday we have both Honeymoon Express and Silver Alliance heading to Yarmouth. Both horses have won at the track and seem to show their best there. Honeymoon hasn't fired yet this season but her homework is better than ever and hopefully the forecast will stay dry as she loves firm ground. I think she could run a big race.
Silver has already won twice this year and as a result is pretty high in the handicap and finding life tough at present.

Then on Thursday we have another brace of runners at the coast. The Ducking Stool has had a remarkably consistent season and did herself proud with a second place last time. The winner of that race has won again since so the form isn't too shabby. She's back at her favourite track of Yarmouth so another bold show should be on the cards.
Luhaif, on the other hand, has been very in and out this year, despite wining in June. He has to get an easy lead in front which is often hard to come by over sprint trips. He has won at the track so maybe a return there will help him out.
