Daytime top of 27 and night-time low of 14: not bad conditions with which to be ending September and heading into October. It will, of course, only be a handful of weeks - days, even -before we are looking back on mornings such as today's with wistful longing, so we'll enjoy them while we can. I'm just about to head off to Warwick. We have two runners declared in the Racing Post, but only one will run. The ground has (inevitably) firmed up since declaration time so I'm sure that there will be quite a handful of non-runners; and Zarosa will be one of them. (In fact, she is one of three
already declared as such in her race alone, and I wouldn't be surprised if that total increased between now and 2.40). The good, good to firm in places on which we declared would have been nice enough for her debut, but I doubt she'd have enjoyed the firmer conditions which look set to come to pass, so it won't do her any harm to wait a week or two. She's in good shape, but, and instead galloped up the AW on Warren Hill this morning, as these two photographs show; or, rather, don't show, as she's on the far side of this group of three two-year-olds, so you'll have to take my word for it that is indeed she. Ethics Girl should relish the conditions, though, so let's hope that she puts up her usual bold show. And I'd imagine that her race will be a bit weaker than one might have expected: there is one non-runner declared in it already, and there could, of course, be more to come. Let's hope for the best.
