A quieter couple of days; we take Ravi Road to Brighton tomorrow; and we have declared both Duly Amazed and Rowdown Roza for Lingfield's polytrack Saturday evening; Rowdown Roza is certain to get in; we just need to keep a weather eye on the ballot for Duly Amazed but it is likely to be fine.

One of the things that the BHA are looking to achieve is more transparency about the way the Industry is governed; if you follow this link you can see an interesting and informative article that quite decently explains how Steward's Enquiries are currently conducted; if you have a mo it is worth a read; for those with longer memories you could compare the light the 2022 Protocols throws on Proud Tarquin and The Dikler coming together in the 1974 Whitbread Gold Cup; if you have the time compare this You Tube of the 1974 Whitbread with the 2022 Protocols. Two things; John Oaksey was a fine and generous sportsman; and the move towards greater transparency by the BHA is good.
