This is a racing forum. Just my view but, because it works elsewhere, I would like to see a simple home page along the lines of: ****** National Hunt Racing (Most recent post) Flat Racing (Most recent post) Competitions and Polls (Most recent post) ****** Below this a message that when...

Just my view... Lossiemouth - has run to about 160 enough times to be reliable at about that rating. Probably suited by further than 2 miles. The New Lion - OR 159 and, again, probably suited by further. Constitution Hill - officially 170 OR but no better than 162 the last year including when...

The Great Nudie is half sister to my mare, Connie, so I'm hoping for more black type for her page.

They can check for eye disease and cataracts but I don't know how they can get him to say which line of letters he can see clearly. It's ridiculous to blame the new hurdles. He has always jumped low and got away with it. Schooling should fix that but he's now taking off at the wrong place which...

I fully accept that MisterB is doing this for free and thank him for it. However, there are certain things that he may not know that are important to some of us who have been on here for some time. For perspective, I am now 77 and have, I think, been a member here since the late 90s. I have had...

I'd say that that is the technical equivalent of knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

Maybe someone should tell the powers that be that he brings more clicks than 20 uninhabited flat race threads. Seems to be all that matters these days. Very disappointing.

And there was me thinking that the site had collapsed under the weight of the unwieldy home page.

No, we're giving Connie a year off. With no stud fee this year, a group of us have a couple of PK geldings who recently turned 2. Breeding and looks suggest NH careers and the plan is to keep them for a year when we'll take a view on whether they go to France for early 3yo hurdles or are kept...

A question for breeding buffs. What do you think of Persian King as a potential NH stallion? Has produced decent progeny on the flat and his very small sample size over jumps has an early high hit rate. His best winners on the flat tend to be at about 10f but he has plenty at 12f so 2 miles...

Biased because she's a good friend.

One of our Cheltenham group had a day where every horse that he backed failed to complete including a faller in the bumper.
