Matt Chapman Racing League blog: Fighting talk ahead of improved competition kicking off at Doncaster

Matt Chapman is a Team Manager for London & The South. He is excited about Racing League 2022 starting at Doncaster on Thursday. Jamie Osborne is baiting him on WhatsApp. Rupert Bell is suffering as he is in charge of the Newmarket trainers. Matt finds it sad that some people complain about the competition on social media. He likes Racing league and he gets the team angle. If you don't enjoy it, don’t complain. You can still enjoy the racing. It's good enough for him. There are nearly 1,500 fixtures a year and somewhere near 13,000 races.

Laura Pearson suffered an injury at Epsom and Eoin Walsh is out for two to three weeks. Danny Muscutt is banned Thursday. Sean Levey, Marco Ghiani and Nicola Currie are sent to Doncaster. They can only ride in 20 races during the competition. Matt Chapman Racing League is starting at Doncasters. Andrew Balding and Richard Hannon hold the key to the success of London & the South.

There are some good bets for Thursday's horse racing. Charlie Hills and Hannon have two fair runners in Race Three. Michael Attwater deserves mention for his horse in the six-furlong handicap, Race Four. Scampi is a good booking for the equine SCAMPI in a 12- furlongs handicaps, race Six. Levey is good for a horse that won at Epsom last time.
