I notice the £10.5k conditions race at Yarmouth on Friday has attracted just three declarations…
I know exactly what you are thinking – Yarmouth will be "getting what it deserves" and it will be Christine Dunnett running a couple of no hopers to pick up some prizemoney – none of the big names from Newmarket or up North would patronise such an event – they want to teach Yarmouth a lesson.
But what is this? W J Haggas? M Johnston? There must be some mistake.
I assume we are going to get 2 self certified non runners here, leaving Karl Burke to scoop the pot.
It’s to do with coastal erosion, the decline of inshore fishing, kiss-me-quick hats and poor prize money. It would take ages to explain.
Machareno’s beasts are going in as though they’re on, erm, what’s the word? We’ll say rails and leave it at that. Huge stamina reserves.
Wonder how it will be on Friday. No wonder Braveheart has found a race where they’re paying down to last place. Not exactly underside of forecast material.
Braveheart’s record in the last week:
15 runners
6 winners (all leading before the home straight or equivalent)
4 lasts (all double figure fields)
1 second
1 second last
3 others!He doesn’t do things by halves does he? I wonder what could account for such a bi-modal distribution?
MP,
As your presence here clearly indicates you have internet access, why don’t you just look up the story in the Racing Post archive, or use a search engine to locate articles in the national press.

Basically MP on the Easter Monday meeting all the Newmarket and other big trainers said they would boycott Yarmouths EM meeting due to shite prize money.
Christine Dunnett declared one in the 1m maiden and got e-mails from people like Mark Johnston saying she was a disgrace and John Gosden said that Yarmouth deserved a horse from CD in a maiden.
Now this meeting is a Great Leighs meet but the prize money is good and now the big boys are like flys around sugar with runners.
David Brady has posted the link in his post of 14.55
Click the here word and away you go
No possible walkover for the Dunnett beast this time round,but every chance it will finish last again.
Anyone care to enlighten me when Mel last had runners at Yarmouth.
Even in the old days (when he had a decent sized string) I can’t remember him sending runners down there although he had a few winners at nearby Newmarket.
