    Keep eye out for ferngrove they've been holding him back should run in 2-3 weeks at about 12/1 and will win

    It's entered in the 4.50 at Bath on Wednesday.
    Only if he gets the right ground will update you nearer the time, Florencio is also entered for that meeting as it was done before his official rating came out
    Ferngrove has been entered in the 5.20 at bath tomorrow and is 5/2 ??.

    These jockeys all have to eat. Some have ex-wives and school fees to pay. Some have former brother in laws who are professional gamblers.

    The above comments are purely random and are in no way related to jockeys being crooks especially not Jamie Spencer who I know has great belief in his own ability to get the job done but, sadly, sometimes it simply doesn't work out.

    Now back in this country I will get the low down.

    Florencio has been provisionally entered with a decision made on Thursday in the 3:25 class 3 Betfair Tap Tap Boom 0-95 race at Chester on Saturday with a win prize of £18000. I think this might be a step too far too soon his official rating is 79, although he will receive some weight from others it will be good to see how he gets on in better company. At Chester being quick out the stalls and a low draw is essential to doing well, we will see what happens

    He rode him last week and gave the winner 20L before he decide to race, too late.

    11 declared to run and Florencio has been drawn 10 ffs not good at all, low draw at Chester is key, gonna need a big big run from there

    If he does it, or goes close, from that draw at Chester then you will know you have a very useful animal on your hands.

    Best of luck.

    Cheers Bob, I think the draw process is fixed a hannon trained Al Moktoum horse gets drawn in stall 1 bit fishy in my eyes

    Yes you're probably right - could just be coincidence though!!!!

    But I've seen plenty of winners of 5f sprints at Chester from high draws. It's a nightmare track but a great racecourse - should have been there today but rearranged for the 26th. Luckily I get there quite often as it's my local flat course.

    Yeah looking forward to it booked my return train tickets, Florencio can run 6-7f as well so running further round the outside of burning some energy getting across at the start shouldnt effect him too much, hopefully!!!!
