Now that the Easter meeting at Musselburgh has been abandoned we have a rare blank day of racing on Friday.
To fill the void, what alternative activities will you be pursuing?
....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.
Oh dear – nothing at Middleham either this year …
http://www.middlehamonline.com/what%60s_on.htmYou would have thought they could have found a turf track to take on Musselburgh’s meeting rather than Wolves especially as it was supposed to be the start of the flat turf season.
Any idea who’s taken the Sunday meeting from Musselburgh?

Doesn’t look like there is a replacement.

All-Weather Championships is on at Lingfield!

Ah yes, the some weather artificial stuff.
Not interested, it’s a blank day as far as I’m concerned.If the weather is kind I think it’ll be a long walk and some litter picking.

I’ll be working as we don’t get Bank Holidays automatically. Bit of a culture shock when I came up to Scotland to find that public holidays are rather hit or miss.
Musselburgh’s Sunday meeting has moved to April 24th for this year.
I’ll be ploughing my wages into an FOBT, just to thank those nice bookmaker chappies for being generous enough to keep their shops open on Good Friday.
I’ll be glued to the TV for the first 2yo race of the season.
Let’s hear it for Wolverhampton !
Down with the Brocklesby !
It’s Coral Easter Classic day. Cancel all family get-togethers and watch an artist at work as Kirby tries to come from last to first up Lingfield’s inside rail on Grendisar!

Plans for a long walk around Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Friday aren’t looking as good as they were, thanks to the weather forecast. It’s funny – I don’t mind getting cold, wet and caked from head to foot in mud when at a Point-to-Point, but very much do mind on a non-racing day.
I think I’ll probably stay indoors instead, watch Lingfield on the joy lantern and knock up my in-running sheets (coloured-in silks and all) for the holiday’s racereading engagements at Askham Bryan College and Charm Park. Yes.
