Wet, Wet, Wet
One of my favorite horses Closing Zenobia lines up in Saturday’s GnuMad Cup. With six muddies in the small field, she won’t have things her own way and this race has all the makings of a humdinger. Manor Park Stud is a master of his art, and should never be discounted. All of Pyramid Scheme, Devils Lil’ Sister, Mutley The Mutt, Smoothy Lyric and Turds Mach will love the slop, and big runs are expected from them.

Stable comments: – “Will be the last race in the career of this great mare. Has been up against some top long horses over the years and hasn’t let us down once. This seasons GnuMAD looks as tough as ever to win. Devils looks the one we all have to beat after setting some great times in the slop all season.”

Stable comments: – “It’s a MUD FEST! Lol I’m pretty sure a mudlark will win this (hopefully mine) and there’s a few which can but there’s a slight concern of a certain someone in this race who’s the best player on here (Manor Park Stud if you didn’t know!) who could ruin things. Can his greater OR Natural Champion styled horse beat the muddies we’ll soon find out.”
