BEST of the BETS

I though there might be some surprise results but not a £9,000 pp divvy at Plumpton.

:gasp:

A day for playing steady I think. A week off shouldnt really affect low grade horses who run frequently, because they have lots of options, but i will be treading carefully, unlike Diana..

Birchy in the RFO has put up ULTRAGOLD for The Grand National at 40/1 as a very confident selection.

BHA announcement around 10.30pm tonight. Seemsshort notice for racing on Wednesday if its a green light so maybe a Friday or Saturday start.

I hope they start racing this week, perhaps testing the water with 1 or 2 meetings a day while they are still monitoring and then back to normal next week. I cant see the problem if there are clean horses in affected yards, then yards which are totally clean should be allowed to race.

from BHA.

A pragmatic and evidence-led approach is being adopted in order to enable the BHA to make decisions on Monday as to whether racing can return on Wednesday 13 February. A prioritisation plan for testing is being adopted, which is based on the proximity of horses to a positive test, or to a yard returning a positive test. Swabs will continue to be collected and tested from other horses, but some are being fast tracked. Separately, a specific plan is being formed as to what the clearance process will be for individual yards to return to racing.

This process will remain ongoing through today and tomorrow with a view to sufficient evidence being gathered to make a decision on Monday evening as to whether racing can return on Wednesday. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding that as much evidence as possible must be gathered prior to making a decision as to when racing can safely return.

Should racing be given the go ahead to return on Wednesday then declarations for all races would take place on Tuesday.

Hopefully there will be an announcement tomorrow that we will be back on Wed. Providing the entries are all from yards given the all clear I cant see theres any problem.
