Frankel And Midday Produce A Filly
The unbeaten Frankel and six-time Group 1 winning Midday have produced a bay filly. Paddy Power have offered odds of 66/1 on the filly winning the 2017 1000 Guineas, and 66/1 on the filly winning the 2017 Epsom Oaks.
Latest Weather Problems
Thursday's cards at Clonmel (IRE) and Taunton have been abandoned but there is still plenty of racing to look forward to, including action from Meydan (UAE), Huntingdon and Doncaster, and all-weather from Wolverhampton.
Friday's card at Bangor-On-Dee is subject to an 8:30 am inspection on Thursday morning.
Newcastle's clerk is continuously monitoring the situation for their card on Friday, but more rain is expected, with the current going described as Heavy.
Sunday's fixture at Exeter has been made an all-hurdle affair, after three chases were abandoned due to waterlogging. There are three replacement hurdle races to be programmed.
There is more wind and rain forecast in the coming days, causing havoc up and down the country, so more abandonments could be possible.
Sprinter Sacre Back In The Public Eye
Sprinter Sacre is set to be at Newbury this Saturday, to make a first appearance in public since pulling up at Kempton in December. He will circle the parade ring for 15 minutes before racing, as he continues his rehabilitation from the irregular heart beat.
Trainer Nicky Henderson said, 'After what happened at Kempton, we're keen to give him a good experience on his return to a racecourse, and this is a perfect opportunity.'
Rock On Ruby Hopes Hang On Weather Outcome
Winner of the 2012 Champion Hurdle, Rock On Ruby has been declared for the Doncaster meeting on Thursday, but his trainer Harry Fry has said that heavy rain could scupper the plan. Fry is desperate for better ground in order to get some crucial match practise over fences, before the Arkle.
Rock On Ruby currently top price of 9/1 for the Arkle.
