The week came to a close with my selection Big Gossey winning. The 10/1 shot was 3rd at the halfway stage and made a challenge 1 1/2 furlongs out. He led narrowly and kept on well under pressure inside the final furlong he held on to beat Fastman and Wonder Elzaam who couldn't be separated and finished joint 2nd.
We should have kicked off the weekend with Red Mills day at Gowran Park on Saturday but the rain has had it's say again. The downpours continued on Thursday night and by this morning there had been 14mm with a further 12 to 13mm forecast for Friday leaving the track waterlogged and the clerk of the course no choice but to abandon the meeting. The card will now take place next Friday February 26th. There is more positive news for Navan on Sunday they have only had half the rainfall that Gowran Park has had with only 10mm forecast before Sunday, the ground is currently heavy so fingers crossed the meeting is on and I will put up a preview on Saturday night.
