From Dawn till Dusk.

Racing at Southwell.  Up at dawn to load the lorry with She's Humble and an unraced 3 year old.  An early start to try to avoid the traffic and heat. Paul driving, Karen and Dick as grooms and Richard Young (Owner) aboard.

Arrived at Southwell after driving for 4 hours through heavy rain. 

Karen gave the 3 year old a racecourse gallop while the others looked at the chase course to assess Humble's chances.

The sun came out but the ground had changed from our intended "Good To Firm" to "Soft", not so good for Humble.  Still she looked great.

An error on the final circuit, added to the soft ground, finished her chance of a top three finish and she came 5th.  After an hour to let her recover it was back to the lorry for the trip home.

 

Arrived back at Southfield as the sun was setting.  A long day.
