Calling a novelty today - 10 runners in Argentina's longest race later today, the Group 3 General Pueyrredon over 3,000 metres. There was an application to reduce the race to 2,400m which was knocked back so still a unique race for those who follow the Argentinian circuit.

Gorgeous day at Hexham for the Haydon point-to-point. That the reservoir resembles a beach a reflection of the hard work that goes into keeping the show on the road during this dry spell.

Over 60 ponies declared for the Area 4 pony raceday at Haydock Park tomorrow, that's more competitors than the last three points that I've attended put together. Hopefully one or two stars of the future in the saddle.
