All Weather Racing Championships - Day 1 How They Ran

5:45 Wolverhampton
Well the Godolphin trained My Freedom was backed down to 2/1 fav and duly jogged up pretty much, staying on and on nicely from the front off the final bend to thwart the tipsters early fancy Solar Deilty (7/2), who ran well enough, but De Souza was long gone on the jolly. Grey Mirage (6/1) followed them home in 3rd. Pintura never got into the race for my money.

6:45 Wolverhampton
Bin Singspiel (7/2 2nd fav) is another well fancied horse to hose up at the AW championships. Easy winner for Luke Morris carrying bottom weight with the field strung out behind. Expert Fighter (3/1 fav) and Kiama Bay (16/1) filled the placve positions, but were not in the same race as the winner.

7:15 Wolverhampton
Another easy winner. Mystery Drama (13/8 fav from 2/1) won pulling a cart for Adam Kirby. The Southwell form is holding up well over the pretty slow Wolverhampton polytrack surface at the moment. Tracks Of My Tears (10/1) came 2nd and Train Hard (11/4) trailed home in 3rd, no chance with the winner.

8:15 Wolverhampton
Viva Verglas (11/4 2nd fav) led from the front and held on very well to make all at Wolver, which isn't easy to do, even over 5f. Captain Midnight (5/1) and Zalzilah (15/2) rattled after the winner late on, but could'nt catch the slowing Viva Veglas, who was tiring after blazing away from the getgo. My one Orten Park is still running.

8:45 Wolverhampton
Fresa (11/4 2nd fav) rounded off day 1 of the AW Champs for Sir Mark Prescott with a workmanlike display, beating the rag Oratorio's Joy (16/1) handily enough. The 5/4 jolly Conserve ran no race for fave punters. My one Apache Glory was withdrawn leaving only 7 runners to upset the each way players. Alleast I managed a return.

The All Weather Championships Kick Off At Wolverhampton This Evening

Post Body

So here we go then. The shiny new All Weather Championships start tonight at Wolver. Some decent races on, as Simon Mapletoft has described over at ATR. He goes for these selections: 5.45 Solar Deity, 6.45 Azrag, 8.15 Viva, Verglas (Nap) and in the 8.45 Fresa

Of course, I'll be taking them all on with larger priced horses. 5:45 Pintura (16/1), 6:45 Sadlers Risk (16/1), 8:15 Orton Park (16/1) and Apache Glory (14/1) in the 8:45.

Bottom line is a horse has to run 3 times from now until the finals to get in, or win one of the win and you're in races. I'll explain it more as things roll on, or read the official blurb below for an idea of how the AW Championships will work.
