Return to Canterbury

It has been almost 2 years since our last race at Canterbury. Sunday will mark the return of the blue, black and gold silks at my home track. While it is not the most economically viable place to run and management continues to make many questionable decisions, it is still a special place for me. It is a facility that houses over 2 decades of memories for me dating back to times when I had to have my friend's dad place my bets.

As for the race itself, it will be Ready to Thrill's first time against winners. A quick look at the competitors says we should compete and if his odds stay at or near his morning line (8-1), it would be worth the gamble. While I do want to see what he does on the turf, I wouldn't complain if the race was rained off. Hope to see some of the locally based partners on Sunday.
