New for 2020!

There's going to be a new aspect to Bryan's Horseracing Blog's especially for 2020! I will be discussing jockeys I think are doing particularly well, horses for note and anything controversial that has a risen that will have a big impact on the industry.

So the biggest talking point for me right now is the fact that Donnacha O'Brien has his first entries as a trainer for Friday at Dundalk. The two horses are Mythological and Flower Garland, both are owned by his mother and were previously trained by his father. He should know how to get the best out of both of them as he has ridden both before. Hopefully Donnacha's success as a jockey can be transferred to training.

There are numerous hot jockeys as the moment the most undisputable is Ben Curtis. Curtis since the new year has had 11 winners and it is less likely he has been unplaced. He is building on his success from last season much like Luke Morris and Adam Kirby. Luke Morris well know for being an all weather specialist has had 6 wins since the new year, continuing building momentum. His four timer on 2nd January highlights his success. Adam Kirby also has a 13% strike rate. They are showing already that the all-weather championships will be close.

Additionally conditional jump jockey Jack Tudor has caught the eye with his recent successes. The most notable being the welsh grand national. Clearly one to watch in the future as he is only 17.

Hopefully the next blog will be from Sunday's racing at Southwell.
