UK Tuesday

No turf racing today and only one race across two meetings with more than seven runners. Not the BHA's finest hour.

Shocking quality

Too many meetings and too few horses in training, Bob. The current fixture list is unsustainable and the sooner the so-called 'planners' at the BHA realize this and stop producing endless low-grade AW fixtures as betting shop fodder, the better for racing. Fewer fixtures would mean more competitive racing and higher prize money, but try telling the BHA that - and a reduction in the number of AW meetings might also release more horses to go jumping.
