This week, I think, has to have been one of the best weeks for Swindon. We've come off a superb Sky meeting on Wednesday, and the racing overall this week has been fab!
Looking back at the Sky production from Wednesday, I do think it was the most polished of the Sky shows. Obviously, due to the change in production company, there were always going to be teething problems with the show. Wimbledon, to me, wasn't very good at all, but things did pick up at Yarmouth and Kinsley. However, to me it was the Swindon show this week that looked more like the polished final package. Kudo's to all the guys at SIS, they're genuinely a pleasure to work with.
The racing itself, and first and foremost I must apologise for the tipping! The first two races went so well, and from there it just flatlined. However, on the night it must be said that there are no real hard luck stories. Every dog that won, won on merit. The three track records on the night was a real lift to the crowd (who were also brilliant!), and the overall winner, Shaneboy Alley, turned it into a precession. Well done to anyone who followed my AntePost picks, as I tipped Shaneboy and Screen Critic e/w for the competition.
One run that did stand out for me was that of Screen Critic in behind Alley. He's on my Derby slip off that run!
Last of all, a big thank you to Pin Point Recruitment for their kind sponsorship of the competition.
Thought this was a great week as you say - the racing was fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhilst I think it would be a brave man to bet against Eske, I wonder if one of the Arc runners can actually do the biz? The Critic and Shaneboy A were rocketships for sure. There would be something nice about one of the dogs going on to win the big one - good luck to them all and thanks for the blog Wattsy
