A good day all round. Well pleased with that. :thumbsup:

Yes, thanks, Chunk. Had a lovely family time and know how lucky I am. Yeah, I have a feeling that there's more to come, possibly, from Monbeg.

Blimey! After all the esoteric SP and price chat, back to the Welsh National (my head's spinning after reading all that). My 'Welshfolio' is: Deafening Silence Monbeg Genius Collector's Item Dom Of Mary

Well, what a wonderful yuletide that was in the Yorick household. More love than I could shake a stick at lol. And what a race the King George was, eh? I'd be looking for Jingo Baie in the Gold Cup. Of course, there's a feast on offer today and I'll be doing a few with the usual wan conviction...

It's Christmas eve and I'd like to wish everyone on the forum my very best wishes and good luck for the new year. I always spare a thought for those who aren't as lucky as I am at this time of year with a roof over my head, family around me and huge amounts to eat and drink. If we look around...

Oh cheers Al. And Winter Christmas greetings to you both. Only five more sleeps lol

You trying to tell me I’m boring? Well, I know where you’re coming from but just needed to vent. Sorry

Hiya mate. Small interest for me today. An ew L15: Pony Soprano - Haydock 1.30 Etalon - Ascot 1.50 Brucejack - 2.05 Haydock Blow Your Wad - Ascot 3.00 Good luck mister.

I mean, look at Alfie's princess, a NR in the 2.13 Hereford. The reason cited is 'Going@. The official going at Hereford today is 'G/sft.' Alfie's Princess has won on G/sft and Soft ground yet they pull her out on account of @going'. Honestly, trainers are taking the piss and the BHA don't...

Hmmm. The jockey didn't look too bothered and, clearly, this was not the day. However, he's very young and quite raw, if that's the correct word but strapping anyway and jumping is his strong suit, in my opinion. His mark is very workable and they may even step him up in distance. There's...

No price but I've backed Stencill 3-1 1.50 Ascot.

Nicely picked TFT. :)

Ah! Ok. Thanks for that mate. He'd get about 11-2 or 11.3 for that. Do-able. (y)

Yup. Cracking race. I think Hunter has proved that 3m, 3m+ is the call. As you've guessed, I'm a going follower and now they've found the key in respect of distance, he'll definitely be one to watch over a staying trip when the ground is truly soft. I thought he'd downed tools at one point but...

As Ian has pointed out on many occasions, it's important to know the nuances of these going descriptions, if you know what I mean. He's not wrong, is he.

Yeah, I had a good look at him and agree that the ground wants to be near good, I think. It's funny how the ground conditions can be so vital. Only the trainers and jocks walking the course will know how the official going of "G//sft" will be for their horses. I suppose, in light of this, it...

Hunter Legend - Ludlow 1.45 Win Has been needing the 3m, I think. I'm hoping the ground is soft enough.

Lovely Saturday racing but I haven't studied much over the last 2-3 days since I've been in Dublin, following Palace's European exploits. I'm back and really only have two of my noted horses to back. Rightsotom - Doncaster 12.25 9/2 Ew My note after his last run: If I was to have one bet...

two question marks for me: This may be too short and I wonder whether he might prefer a RH course. Just niggles but enough to put me off. Good luck though mate
