Forest General
(Harry)’s appearance on Sunday 6th January 2019 at Larkhill racecourse is
cancelled.
Trainer Sarah Gould,
being ever vigilant, had suspicions about how hard the ground at Larkhill might
be, knowing the course and given there has been little rain for a number of
weeks. She visited the course today, the
day before the race, to see for herself and found in her view it was ‘hard’. despite
the course steward in recent days pronouncing it to be ‘good’. She recommended he didn’t run.
With Harry just starting
out in his racing career. it is right to be cautious and not risk his legs on
hard ground. I know a few of you planned
to come along and see him race. It’s a
pity we cannot, but he will now move forward to race another day.
