Last night was very chilly indeed as was forecast:

Because of all this cold air It's safe to say that it is going to snow. The question is when and how much. At the moment the snow forcast is suggesting that the snow pushes in during tomorrow afternoon and that around 5 cm will be lying on the ground by midnight.

Diamond at Southwell again today

Shaws Diamond has another crack at Southwell today. She's in a weak race with only 6 runners, so things are on her side. However, it remains to be seen whether the surface suits.

She's currently trading around 10/1 and the race is off at 4.30.

UPDATE:

Blimey, this was the worst run I've seen her do. She finished 5th but last.

Shaw's Diamond was well away on the outside and travelled into third place as the field went into the bottom bend.

Adam Beschizza took the mare onto the inside as they went around the bottom turn but started to push her along on the crown of the bend.

On straightening up the front two took three lengths out of the rest of the field and Shaw's Diamond came quite wide into the straight.  She ran on well enough up the straight, but found the rest of the field coming back to her, losing a couple of places.

The winner went well clear in this race, whilst the rest of the field finished quite tightly bunched.  Unfortunately the mare was unable to hold the other challengers and finished at the back of the group.
