Encouraging quotes from Jeff Smith re his runners in both 1000gns and 2000gns on ATR site including " “We’ve never had a hand as good as this and if you can’t be enthusiastic about two Classic runners with chances, you may as well give up.” Smith excited by double chance of ending Classics...

I"ve been waiting to see some money coming for Ghostwriter again for the Guineas. Prices coming down given a positive piece in the Racing Post. Gone in again !! A fairly quiet Cheltenham has enabled me to keep funds aside for what for me is a sizeable punt nowadays.

Good thinking, Grey!

Chief Singer is the horse that changed the nature of my appreciation of racing. In short I stopped thinking of horses as a betting medium and began to really appreciate the nature and ability of individual horses. My emotional connection to this magnificent horse was somewhat unusual. In early...

Ghostwriter Backed Jeff Smith's GhostWriter 1.50N both times out and have reinvested winnings as decided to follow till beaten. Looks a very capable beast indeed and may be something worth following into next year.Taken an ew price. Otherwise picked out several that others have already put up...

Was due to go with mate to Donny tomorrow to watch his horse run but unfortunately I'm a bit below par atm. Pity as I was looking forward to the day out though wouldn't have had more than a token bet. Cheltenham on the TV in the warm is looking good.

To start with- Apologies for my overreaction to the initial post! 1. Banks raise interest rates simply out of greed. - Untrue. Banks pay for money they lend and benefit when their own borrowings are cheap as they can offer competitive rates to customers. With competitive low rates they lend...

Those guys are TRADERS not bankers. Whilst there are bank employed traders, many of the mavericks are employed by specialist firms or trade on their own account. The percentage of bankers that have any connection with trading is incredibly small. Blaming all bankers is as pathetic as condemning...

The level of knowledge of horse racing/betting demonstrated by many posters on this site is extensive and generally based on personal experiences . Reasoned arguments are put forward and respected even if they prove to be wrong. The opinions expressed about bankers above are not knowledge...

Came on here to suggest this as a reasonable long shot. So it's at least two of us, Reet- hopefully great minds etc.

In line with the thread title I'm backing the following at Cheltenham but not with a great degree of confidence. Normally I'm really fired up for what I consider the start of the Jumps season and would often go down. Don't have any strong fancies for this meeting nor for the upcoming season...

J C Smith's horses, notably Ghostwriter, ( mentioned on here), have done well for me this year. Today Flag Carrier (5.00 Kempton) will carry the burden of my support. Very much a punt but this time last year was thought good enough to run in the 'Futurity' and led to 2 out. Worth watching at...

Most on here know I have close follower of Jeff Smith's horses since since getting the nod for Chief Singer in the Guineas and many times thereafter. I still watch them closely Two JS horses ran in the same race at Newmarket won by Quinault. One was Frankness , a nice winner yesterday and the...

Some bright and knowledgeable posters on this thread. I'm surprised that there is a lack of caveats accompanying some of the statements. Matters of opinion and possibilities would be more appropriate.

As a very young lad from Holloway (not the Prison ! ) I was taken to Elizabeth's Coronation. So come on the Boy!
