I was a bit gutted with Shinko Moon's run yesterday at Market Rasen.  It was always going to be hard to defy a penalty in a bumper, but I expected to be in the first 3 anyway.  However, he is a proper galloper who doesn't quicken, and so by going a pedestrian gallop, we rather set the race up to be shot at.  I wasn't best pleased, but that's racing, and we'll go hurdling with him now.  At least he's come out of the race well, and at worst he's had another piece of work.....!
