Saturday Racing- Sandown Race Track- Veterans Chase Day- 7th Jan 2023

[Garf79]

The first fixture of the New year today 7th January at Sandown Racetrack and what a great way to start the season. It is going to be a quality afternoon of jump racing and 100% certain to be a lot of action. The ground is soft and the races are long, so in my opinion this has all the making of a day of upsets. We will see horses falling and favorites pulled up and I think this is a good day to "Dutch" on a few outsiders. It will be wise to pick one of the top 3 horses and then pick an outsider applying the Dutching strat as with the ground so soft and races between 1 and half and three and half miles not many will be dead cert races. We have 7 races today and the later races are where I think we will see the long shots come in:
