A good day at Southwell on Thursday with our second double of the past week.
DAAFR gamely defied a double penalty to win for the 3rd time in ten days. He is unbeaten in a visor and on the Southwell Fibresand surface.
QAARAAT ran really well on Tuesday and gained deserved compensation when landing the closing race on the card. He’s a tough sprinter.
We are now on 9 winners for January and 2021
We are going ahead with the double header at Newcastle and Southwell on Thursday.
VAN DIJK aims to follow up his win from Saturday back at Newcastle and is joined by TRAVELLER & ONE ONE SEVEN who have also won races here previously.
DAAFR attempts a quick Southwell hatrick and is joined by in form QAARAAT who just failed on Tuesday and the enigmatic THAWRY.
Our next entries are then at Wolverhampton on Monday.
DAAFR returned to Southwell following his comfortable course and distance win of last week and made all to complete the double in good style.
He is declared again for the 2.15pm race on Thursday where he will have a further 5lbs penalty and will race over the extra furlong of a mile for his hatrick bid.
Southwell have added an extra meeting on Tuesday and we take the opportunity to participate with 4 runners.
These include our recent course winners QAARAAT & DAAFR and are joined by DRAKEFELL who runs well here and INTERNATIONAL LAW having his first run on the surface.
Our next entries are then on Thursday with a possible Newcastle/Southwell double header. The entries page of the main website has links to all the details.
A good day on Saturday for the yard, winning both the Newcastle races we contested.
VAN DIJK won his second race of the year, racing in his usual enigmatic style. See photos of his win and Harry Russell below.
