As you can see the final races at Kempton this evening were abandoned due to a 4 horse incident in an earlier race, both Myself & Charlie, would like to wish all involved a speedy recovery. Special thoughts go to Champion Jockey Jim Crowley & Freddy Tylicki who have been rushed to Hospital with serious Injuries. All Jockey’s deserve maximum respect for the enjoyment they bring to us, yes we all rant & Rave from time to time, but these Guys & Gals put their body on the line day in & day out. Speedy Recovery to them all

Charlie’s Results –

Plumpton 2.40 Kapgarde King a bit of a messy race with only 3 horses completing course Kapgarde King was 2nd but by a long 49 length so is nothing to be exited about and was a loss.

Galway 2.55 Willow Grange ran poorly and finished 7th and is another loss.

Kempton 4.20 Bluegrass Blues didn’t run as racing was abandoned due to major incident in the in the 3.20 we mentioned earlier.

No profit today from me but that’s not important as the welfare of the jocks at Kempton takes priority,both myself and Rich wish all the best for Jim Crowley and Freddy Tylicki and their families at this time.
