Have to say Newcastle is a great place - not that we had much time to explore ! Lots of history and a nice atmosphere about town and race course . A good place for a long weekend I would say .
Spoke to DP this morning . All's well with Geoffrey . The RP had it right - 'progress and going well to go 5th - hit 19th - unseated rider '. Tom Scu thought he would have be in the first two .
On the negative side - we still don't know if he really stays these long distances . And also - would he have lost some confidence with his jumping . Only time will tell .
Looking on the brighter side - at least he showed good form up to the point of his departure - and we can now look forward to some good away days - hopefully starting with The Midlands National at Uttoxeter in a couple of weeks .There is a decent race at Punchestown - and the Scottish National at Ayr - though that might be a too shaper track for him . Still - he deserves an entry . CU
