Rod Stewart’s Maggie May reached number 1 in October 1971 despite originally being released as the B side of the single Reason to Believe. None of which has anything to do with horse racing apart from the fact that Maggie Mey and Reason to Believe both line up in the 3.00 at Redcar! Both are in with a chance.
Continuing the interesting name theme Richard Hannon runs Mr Knightley in the 2.15 at Salisbury. Devotees of Jane Austen will appreciate the apt name – the horse is by Strategic Prince out of the mare Emma’s Surprise. The trainer has an outstanding record with his two year olds on their debuts and any market support for Mr Knightley would be interesting.
Trainer Ruth Carr has her horses in good form at present. She has a couple of runners in the Redcar 3.35, San Cassiano and Al Muheer. They are both well handicapped on the pick of their form.
That is about it for tonight.
