    Racing called off due to waterlogging in the middle of a dry spell with the official going good to firm.

    No, I’m wrong, you can see that – at Warwick this afternoon !

    But they are running the first two races (of course that is nothing to do with potential refunds for racegoers).

    Referring to the ground at Warwick, when was this waterlogging discovered?

    Or did the drains go wrong just before racing was due to start?

    Sadly….. A Triple Crown Winner

    I was minus ten the last time one came round and unless they change the rules of a TC I don’t think i’ll ever see it done.

    Yes i saw an albino thoroughbred on morning line last year!

    The word ‘albino’ tends to be used loosely to mean any wholly white animal.

    True mammalian Albinism is a recessive genetic disorder; at its most striking in humans when black parents give birth to a snow-white child.

    Fans of old time piano blues may be aware of the brothers Willie ‘Piano Red’ Perryman and Rufus ‘Speckled Red’ Perryman who were both african-american Albinos.

    With regard to the ‘albinism’ of white horses the following article is of interest:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_(horse)

    can’t do a direct link as the underscore won’t copy correctly

    One reason why ATR is better than Racing UK at least they would have had someone at the track reporting on what was going on, poor Stuart Machin didnt have a clue.
