What did you make of Roaring Bull?

Tad ironic GE is now favouring the intermediate trip when Russell was virtually pleading with him to run him in the Neptune and got put back in his box at a couple of the preview nights with the 'I train 'em, you ride 'em' line. And then runs him today over nearly 3 miles commenting that he won...

Bartlett? Elliott has attributed his poor showing to lack of 'rightness' rather than ground or track and said he'd gone home unwell. You may well be right of course. Be interesting where he places him next.... Update: just read Elliott saying 2m4f optimum trip and possibly heading for the...

Not necessarily a natural but, apart from a couple, tidy and economical in the main. Once he'd gathered himself after fluffing the last he seemed to swat off Ruby's club-handed attempt at a mugging very comfortably. RSA we presume.

First time over the water for me racing wise. Had the flights booked a couple of months ago. Moist already. (Update: Complete lie. I had 3 days at the Galway festival in the late 90s. For the life of me I can't remember a bloody thing about it....)

Rather than start a new thread I will respectfully fly tip on this one... Off to Chester tomorrow for a (shudder) family 'day out' with the outlaws and assorted connections and will almost certainly carry the heady responsibility, as the only one across the bloodline to 'follow the horses', of...

Looking forward to some early positive news on Skelton's Robin Roe.

I'm afraid to say that I would no sooner get on a horse 'big' than I would my girlfriend's sister. In the great game of 'stick or twist' we call 'life', a high risk strategy for me would involve risking a week's worth of ear ache from the good lady for dipping into next week's milk money to...

This resonates with me. I keep stakes to what, by most, would be considered to be relatively meagre levels. I have neither the balls nor the money to be any more ambitious. £50 would be a big bet for me. Yet if I have a decent winner on course the people around me would probably think I'd just...

I'll be flying over with a small gaggle for both days.

Sorry, messed that up.... I tend to agree and if I’m advocating anything here it is ‘strategic patience’ if that makes sense. Ideological shifts and softenings of historically forged entrenchments do occur. Maybe the realignment needs to be multilateral. If we are naïve enough to think that...

I find the lazy semantics that couch the media coverage of these sorts of atrocities quite telling in relation to our seeming inability or stubborn reluctance to look for potential solutions via the most obvious starting point – the cause. ‘Random and senseless’ acts, I heard again this...

Thanks to all. Appreciate it.

Off to HK on Thursday next week. Not been since late 80s when I took in a night meet at Happy Valley. Thinking of losing the Missus in Mong Kok on the Sunday and heading up to Sha Tin. Anyone been? What's the sp with transport these days? Any useful info welcome.

Right, who do I have to lob off to get an invite? Won't be the first time.... I can PM pics if required. Just specify teeth in or out.

Where?

Fast becoming to racing punditry/tipping what Dr Hilary was to medical science.

I've heard it suggested that BDA was ridden in that Supreme with Aintree in mind as they knew the horse would never beat Altior.

Elliott indicating last night that Shattered Love will go to the Neptune with her allowance and leave the other two to scrap it out in the Mares Novices. Bold. Her form stands up to scrutiny and not too hard to see her being competitive. Some 50s kicking around last night and 33s nrnb.
