18 April 2008 'Pub Team' Preview - Essex at High Easter

115 Horses entered for this weeks meeting, a few down on last week but still very good for this time of the season. Last year at this time the temperatures were in the 20's C, bit different this year but at least the ground is more preferable. The forecast suggests that it won't be as cold as Easter Saturday but it will still be a bit chilly so suggest warm clothing. No Men's Open Race at this meeting, can't remember the last time this happened in East Anglia but at this stage of the season it's a pretty good idea as Men's Open races attract very few entries. Many horses are entered at more than one meeting with a meeting at Parham and another not that far away at Kingston Blount. READ MORE

17 April 2008 Pentyrch - Bonvilston

The Welsh Point-to-Point Grand National, over three and a half miles, will be the highlight at Saturday's Pentyrch meeting. However, the 19-strong Members' race should prove an exciting curtain raiser as Keith Pritchard's prolific Cannon Bridge, who also holds a Lady Dudley Cup engagement, will, apparently, be making his seasonal debut in the race and will have most to fear from Mrs Rae Jones's Lough Ennel who has been in excellent form this year and who was successful in last year's race.

04 April 2008 'Pub Team' Preview - Essex Farmers & Union at Marks Tey

It's amazing how conditions change within a few days. I'm guessing at the going but the wind and sun of the last few days will have changed the going from what has been on the soft side to the firmer side. Some good entries for Saturday with 23 entered in the Ladies and 21 in the Confined. Interesting when looking through the entries at other meetings to see how many Mixed Opens there are, can't remember when we last had a Mixed Open race in this area, probably a good reason for it. Forecast for the weekend is a return to colder weather, Marks Tey can be a pretty cold spot, be prepared. READ MORE
