Tough week...

After a generally good summer where last years totals are getting toasted this week has proved a lot tougher, but for a very good reason, disruption to the racing card. With quite a few meetings being hit by the weather a lot of potential has been lost to the rain and there has also been a knock on effect to the rest of the card and also on the field sizes. Lets hope the next few weeks are a bit more stable. Lets also hope there is no disruption at the Ebor meeting next week.

One curiosity that I am noticing more and more is that history is repeating itself, or as that quote went, not repeating but echoing. I appear to be seeing that is it increasingly easy to spot a good or bad day well in advance. The way I am doing it is by looking at the previous year. In reality this shouldn't be possible but the regularity of repetition is quite pronounced. I'll do some more research on this in the winter.
