Sticky turf sees to Party Island's chances
It wasn't to be for Party Island at Newbury this afternoon, after racing prominently early on he was not able to pick up for jockey George Bass in the final half mile on ground that was too sticky for him - between good-to-soft and soft. With those going conditions a mile and a half seemed too much for him today, and he will hopefully have another good day when conditions fall right. next time.
