"WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO GREAT LEIGHS?"
For once I am actually short of words so have decided to write about the first thing that popped into my mind,this was not a female,money,who won the guineas trials or what im doing tommorow-this was in fact what the hell has happened to Great Leighs???
Seriosly has anyone heard anything? it seems to have gone awfully quiet and instead been replaced by some new track opening in Wales-im sorry but All weather tracks are not the future!
I still to this day cannot fathom how Great Leighs managed to get into difficulty so quickly-well actually maybe I can-the track was great-the rest was like a building site, the opening date changed more times than James Bond and all in all the racing was pretty dire and it was in Essex!!!..nothing against Essex but as a Suffolk lad I feel it is my heritage to mock when the opportunity arises.
On the Racing front my Guineas fancy "On Our Way" didn't overly impress, Fantasia though was mightily impressive I followed her closely last year when Mr Cumani made comparisons to Gossamer, and the Brian Meehan colt Delegator also showed a fine turn of foot-but hardly a vintage Craven Stakes and promotion to favoritism looks a bit rash to me.
