Such a great shame to hear about these two horses passing away. Native Upmanship was always a joy to watch jumping fences (around Aintree in particular), and though I’ve often been rude about his constitution over the years, there was never any doubting Harchibald’s talent. Both horses are...

I love that post, chaumi. Also, Steve Heighway was my favourite player when I was a mere nipper. (y)

Just to let everyone know that Anadin has chosen to send his competition winnings the way of the Racing Welfare charity - a tremendously generous gesture any way I look at it. (y)

Still need a DM from you Anadin, to sort out your cash prize.

If the return of Drone to TH is all that the upgrade delivers, it will have been worth it. Hope you are in the pink, chief. (y)

Would fancy him to go very close in the Durkan. Changing of the guard.

Where is the competition in an Arkle going to come from? Ballyburn would wipe his hole with the best of the graduating 2m novice hurdlers and not break sweat whilst doing so. He’s head-and-shoulders better than everything else at the trip.

The winner is one of the most under-estimated and under-rated horses in training.

Whilst all the staying hurdlers are basically pigs, I like SDB in the G1 today. Ducked Aintree this year, gets his ground, and 8/1 a more than fair price for the old ba*stard to beat some mudlarks, imo. Have had a go at Rumi (20/1) in the opener. Just the three hurdles runs so still very-much...

Greetings, Ian - it has been a while. Hope you’re well.

Hope you’re over the worst of your health issues, EC21 - good to see you back.

I genuinely appreciate the efforts of everyone to bring the forum into the 21st Century, but I’m sorry - this new format is dreadful. In the spirit of providing constructive feedback, please consider the following: Move the TH News and Announcements to the bottom of the list somewhere. It has...

Walken is ace as the Emperor…….no-one can play a cantankerous old bast*ard as well as CW.

I’m a little surprised there’s been no comment on Paddy Brennan’s retirement this week. Whilst I will personally never forgive him for chinning Vautour in the shadow of Kempton’s winning post when carving-up Cue Card to win the King George, there’s no doubt he was a better than adequate jockey...

Shout. :cool:

Euro, do you work in fu*cking Ladbrokes, mate??

I’m taking the (probably erroneous) view that - Ballyburn apart - most of the 2m novice hurdlers are wankers, and on that basis, I’m happy to oppose the front of the market in the Top Novices tomorrow. As it happens, I’m also happy to oppose the middle of the market as a collection of...

Away for the next few days for Mrs Grass’s birthday, so some speculations this evening, to keep the dream alive whilst we’re walking the dog in knee-deep mud round Loch Tay tomorrow. 13:45 - Heart Wood. Handicapped to go close regardless, come here relatively fresh, and I instinctively want to...

Dear Willie Mullins, if you ever need help with race planning, just pick-up the fu*cking phone. Happy days. :thumbsup:

Kargese just gone fav on Betfair.
