Why not shorten the wait this Christmas to Boxing Day racing, by reading MANVERS ROAD ⭐️STAR: the sequel to betting shop ’cult classic’ SHOUTING THE ODDS? Manvers Road ⭐️Star - a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read! https://t.co/L6RkCiOaCk

Cold start to the day again @NewmarketGallop but not as hard a frost as yesterday. Getting milder (and then probably wetter) again after this brief cold snap #Gus #Morston #TarbatNess #Duchess

Another solid run by Chris Murray’s #MaithMarOr, 4th in the 10-furlong 3yo+ maiden race @NewcastleRaces. Well ridden by Jack Callan. A very nice straightforward, genuine filly. She’s now run in three maiden races and run well every time.

Good to be back up at @NewcastleRaces. As often happens here, we’re getting a reminder that the weather, relatively speaking, isn’t too bad in Newmarket! #MaithMarOr

A cold icy start to the day in Newmarket. But the wind has dropped, the sky has cleared and it’s dry. That’s an improvement #Duchess #MrsMaisel #LittlePeter

Well done John and the gang. These three boys we’ve had throughout their lives and they’ve all now won again this year. Thirteen wins and counting for Merrijig, Tarbat Ness and Dereham. Always good to see the late Claude Berry’s colours carried to victory for the BHS Partnership.

A horrible morning @NewmarketGallop. Cold rain in a cold north wind. 4 degrees but ‘feels like minus 4’. The show goes on #MaithMarOr

Delighted to have had the Beverley House Stables Partnership’s #Merrijig land a thrilling win in the 2-mile handicap here @NewcastleRaces under a perfectly-judged ride from @GinaMangan7. Turned a damp, cold, grey day into a lovely day!

Not a bad morning in Newmarket, albeit quite cold. Currently 1 degree. Quite frosty early on but began to thaw an hour or so before dawn #MrsMaisel #TarbatNess #Duchess

We had a short battle this morning in Newmarket between sunshine & cloud; happily sunshine won, and it was lovely, albeit quite cold, for much of the day. Began to freeze an hour or so after sunset.

Excellent jumping lesson this morning for #TarbatNess from @jackquinlan92 over hurdles at the Links @NewmarketGallop. God willing, they’ll go to @Huntingdon_Race on Saturday.

A colder but better start to the day in Newmarket than we’ve had the past few days. Currently 5 degrees. Not quite cold enough for a frost; they’ll be later in the week #TarbatNess

We had still more rain yesterday evening in Newmarket but it’s dry & brighter today, thank God. Still mild enough, 9 degrees, but set to get significantly colder from tonight onwards. And I think we’ll get more rain in the week.

Storm Claudia now been & gone. Stopped raining around bedtime after about 25 hours of rain. We got our predicted 2 inches. At its worst in evening: strong wind & heavier rain - depressing. And now it’s dry & still, thank God. And still mild, albeit murky #LittlePeter #MaithMarOr

It’s been raining for 12 hours @NewmarketGallop. Mostly not too heavy but that’s still a lot of rain. And set to rain for at least another 12. Forecast is for more to come (another 34mm) than there’s already been. At least it isn’t cold. Currently 12 degrees #Merrijig #MaithMarOr

A glorious day in Newmarket. Like the very best type of spring day. We’ll savour it while it lasts, which will be a few hours.

Bright, dry & very mild this morning in Newmarket. Currently 13 degrees. The downside is that we’re forecast to have rain arrive tonight and then have a very wet day tomorrow. Up to two inches of rain. Not looking forward to that at all #LittlePeter

A bit of rain in the night in Newmarket and then some more before dawn, but it’s turned out alright again today. Mild & mostly dry. Bright enough. Currently 14 degrees.
