There is noticeable reduction in flat turf racing fixtures again this year plus the loss of Folkestone, Warwick and Newcastle in recent years, all contributing to the number of blank days we are having.

There will no selections again today but there will be on Saturday.

Curiosity has got the better of me and I would be interested to know how many of you backed the 22/1 winner. No need to go into detail a simple yes or no will suffice. If no, was it the number of selections that put you off? Any feedback you give helps to improve things in the future.
