Fair weather
Well what a start to spring we have had in the UK! It’s more like the summer at the moment, not that this will impress people in warming climates, but it’s a welcome period after a very cold winter. Having flown away to warmer places in February, it’s been a good start to the year. No seasonal disorder for me this year!
The racing markets have been better in April as well, so the weather on that front is improving. But we have noticed a shift in the longer term weather patterns here. More news when we finish our work in this area. The dawn of evening racing has given me a chance to fill out the P&L with a few more races and I had a better day yesterday, but some of the evening racing is exceptionally weak this year. Turnover is falling on a lot of these races. Some of the day time stuff isn’t great either, for a prime example look at today’s racing. Not a single UK card of 10 runners or more, that is exceptionally poor. So poor actually that I may take today off. With some decent action around the Easter holidays, no racing on Friday, decent weather and kids off school, some time out looks like a 1.01 shot. Enjoy Easter!
