Bear Grylls was non to clever LTO so I thought Mick Easterby sending one that distance, last time he did that was 20 years ago, worth a go. Came with a chance but fav was much better today.
Bad start out of the stalls and lost a couple of lengths and really Black Sparrow needs to be right up on the pace. Also had some bad luck in running but still would not have won but maybe could have grabbed a place.
Watch for this horse with the jockey being booked next time and may prove useful to give another try.
Very cold and frosty today, amazing when you think about it how they even get these race meetings on and by no means a walk in the park riding in these conditions. Hats off to all the jockeys and staff who are ploughing on. :clap:
