That was supposed to be an Exeter fixture, but in the short term it looks, I mean, it looks hard work for them getting racing on due to the, the lack of water.
Dan BarberGUEST
Now Fontwell and Perth will race on that day.
Dan BarberGUEST
Geographically, I, I calculate I think it's about nine hours drive and about 500 miles.
Dan BarberGUEST
The, the proclaimers would be very proud of their trip to Perth from, from Exeter.
Dan BarberGUEST
So it's not really appealing to the same demographic of horses, but it's getting races on at a track where at this time of year, and indeed as a wider point, it's a, it's a summer track, and that divides opinion as to whether they should continue racing into the main body of the season.
Dan BarberGUEST
But Perth is a place that has very little trouble providing good to soft ground, which is what so many trainers are after.
Dan BarberGUEST
We've also, uh, on the 25th of October, I think it's a charity day, isn't it, at Wincanton?
Nick LuckHOST
Yeah.
Sam Twiston-DaviesGUEST
We know where we like to go.
Sam Twiston-DaviesGUEST
Obviously Perth being one of them, and then obviously Newton Abbot do a good job so we've h- had a, a handful down there.
Sam Twiston-DaviesGUEST
And obviously what's nice is now is they've been in since kind of second week of July and done plenty of work, so it's nice to get them out where we can.
Tom CollinsHOST
And one of those winners in September was Insoumis De Lavie, a horse we talked about plenty on these podcasts last season.
Nick AlexanderGUEST
Whereas there's, might be tracks not far away that could take the fixtures and, uh, and, and, you know, produce a nice ground.
Nick AlexanderGUEST
The ground at Perth this week was, was perfect.
Nick AlexanderGUEST
They had loads of runners.
Nick AlexanderGUEST
Um, the track looked like it hadn't been run on all summer really.
