Duffield's Diary

More rain during this "drought"

Ann Duffield | Thursday, 10 May 2012 © Ann Duffield Racing

Chester’s May meeting continued today on heavy ground, as did Wincanton and Yarmouth while Goodwood, Kelso and Newton Abbott were all abandoned due to the rain and Ripon’s evening meeting tomorrow was called off this afternoon.

So today's win at Beverley on the flat was a relief as well as pay back time for the jockey. Dubious Esca
