I love horse racing,cricket and now basketball because of my son.Losing interest in football due to cost and the likes of var. Watching a top horse still one of the great pleasures in life for an old fart like me.

Superbly put sir. Only quibble is we don't know if his bottle or his ability that's gone. Hence he looks fantastic on the gallops but doesn't do it on the racetracks. How the trainer and owner handle this says a lot about them.

Geezo. Whether its true or not it looked very likely he would fall. Please just retire. I wouldn't watch the Xmas hurdle if he ran in it. I'd be so fearful for horse and rider and when it gets to that stage it surely must be kinder to the horse by not jumping another obstacle.

They surely will at least consider retirement now. You cannot keep running a horse in top class races just hoping he won't fall. There is no harm running him on the flat. The ebor etc look tailored made for him and he won't get a big weight. As a horse lover I would have retired him today. He...

The green keeper at my local golf courses had a share of a horse with Keith dalgleish. Loved being involved and a day at the racing.

Very few in the racing press have the nous to write a 1500 word piece that is interesting and informative. I like Pete Thomas and Julian muscat and their love for the sport shines through but they are not Oscar wilde. Give the reader the benefit of the doubt as I can see many on here who are...

I've only ever done that on a football forum but it was so satisfying knowing they can talk as much nonsense as they won't and I won't have to put up with it.

Banning any talk of Cheltenham till the new year.🤣🤣

Can I have Caldwell potter replaced by apple away on list 1. Ta muchly.

Precious few 100 % agree. Thousands going to punchestown and Dublin that used to go to Cheltenham. The obsession with Cheltenham is sooo frustrating. Races like the fighting fifth hurdle use to be great races with horses like birds nest,ekbalco etc regularly turning up. Let each race stand out...

I'm officially an old fart today which would explain me not reading rules properly yesterday. Sorry for being a prat. Let friendly battle commence. Thanks again jinny.

I'm not bitching just lamenting how much my viewing pleasure of racing has dropped since channel 4 covered it. Just seems vacuous now but it may be me just being an old fart.

Anzadam Dark horse in list 1 from willie mullins stable and replace Slade steel with Narciso has also from Willie mullins. Thank you.

Me bad.

The view of delacroix switching to the inside from up high was tremendous and really enhanced the viewing of the race.
