Thursday 19 January

I bet you all opened the page thinking/hoping I had got the name of an easy winner today, that would ease you into the realms of never having to work again - sorry! Certainty in this instance refers to Smart Exit who if he stays in one piece is a certainty to run at Leicester next Tuesday as he gets in without a ballot! Wether he is a certainty in the race is another matter, but I can report that he is rude health! As are all of the string, which is great news with Justazippy heading to Market Rasen and Honeycreeper going to Towcester on Sunday. Omaruru is still doing two canters, but as he is doing it so easily, and not losing any of his excess baggage - Stuart has started to put a sheet on him now so that he sweats off a few of the extra kilos! He needs to lose a bit before they can start going any quicker with him - if not it would only lead to injury.
