Blacko Makes His GB Debut At Taunton This Afternoon 30/12/19

Blacko makes his GB debut this afternoon at Taunton in the 2m½f (2m104y) Annual Membership 2020 Available Today Juvenile Hurdle (Class 4) (3yo) at 12.45pm. He was bought by AppleTree on the recommendation of my old boss Alan King and we are very much looking forward to the race. It looks a fair contest with the Philip Hobbs trained Zoffee heading the market. Zoffee finished second behind another Alan King inmate Lord Lamington (Grade 2 Placed since) on his first start over hurdles at Market Rasen so Alan should have a good line through the form. There are also others to be respected and this is by no means a 2 horse race. Having said all this Blacko has pleased in everything he has done at home, he gives the impression he’ll keep galloping and has schooled with accuracy and zest. Tom Bellamy takes the ride.
