Keeper's Choice - Newmarket

27 September 2018

Keeper's Choice finished 6th at Newmarket which was slightly disappointing but she got no cover and the ground had gone quite firm which she didn't seem to appreciate. Hopefully better next time.

Dessie's Diamond made a very pleasing debut at Worcester in a national hunt flat race finishing 3rd and will come on again from the run. Yogiyogiyogi also finished 3rd at Brighton, she jumped awkwardly out of the stalls and was given far too much to do, she would definitely have won had she jumped on level terms. Sheila Rose got a bit tired in the last furlong at Kempton having not run for a while and did not have an easy passage, she will also come on from the run.
