I didn't realise until after the race

Damn my Tutti bet didn't take 😭

I agree

They are all white now including I notice in Ireland. They used to be orange but the research showed that white was more visible for horses than orange so they all got changed. Plus hurdles are now filled with plastic rather than birch and I wonder if they are less forgiving too.

I actually didn't have a bet but I am so happy for Jezza. She is a diamond of a mare for a little yard up on Exmoor and the girl that looks after her, Emily is such a sweetie. On another note, discussion here is about the actual hurdles. Are these plastic filled hurdles with a bright white bar...

Gowwan Goldie!!!! Slag her all you like but she at least jumps the ruddy hurdles!!

At least he's up. Retirement 100% I'm convinced he has an eyesight issue.

Can we all just get back to the topic and stop with banter/insults or whatever. You are grown adult men. Behave like them!

Absolutely! I was looking for The Wallpark who was a big price as he hadn't jumped well last time on his chase debut. He put in a few iffy jumps early and then just stayed where he was.

I've just watched the first from Fairyhouse which was a beginner's chase won nicely by Jimmy du Seuil (Patrick Mullins 900th winner) from The Big Westerner. But it was just a four horse race cos the bulk of the jockeys just ignored the front four and anchored their horses 15-20 lengths off the...

Think Scarface is out? Edit: ignore me, wrong horse

Not so much of a confident day today and rapid ground changes make me far more cautious. I've picked out a few though: Newbury Brave Kingdom (Course winner, had a wind op and Nicholls also keeping his weight down with another on top weight) Tutti Quanti - very positive write up in the Stable...

He's on my list too

I have to say it's as difficult a race to work out that I have looked at in a while. And the rain is not helping either. I did like Panic Attack for Cheltenham but I think that was her target and I have stamina doubts with her in this especially as the softening ground (was it really only 2...

I only looked at the card after Danny asked me what I fancied today..... Did he back them? Did he hell.... Why DO I bother? :rolleyes:

Thanks - but to be honest it was a pretty easy picking day! Disappointed that Regents Stroll let himself down - he's top class if he chills. Punctuation too ran a flat race as though they were just going through the motions. Katie O'Riley didn't really progress as I'd hoped and may need a stiff...

I'm not 'Arry's biggest fan to be honest but I don't think you will split them up in a hurry

A fair run but suspect he could possibly do with some tweaking to his wind. They already run him in a tongue tie so for me it's the obvious thing to do next. Just listened to Cobden who was very disappointed with Regents Stroll - said he thinks the ring bit will go back on. Amazed they took it...

That was a shame that Regents took off like a scalded cat. To his credit he did keep on under a tender ride latter stages (sensibly from a mental point of view for the horse) and I dearly wish they can get him to settle as he's got an engine. Maybe stick the hood back on.

Thought Nice One Eric ran ok for a long way on his hurdling debut. This was quite a deep race to throw him in first time but the yard doesn't shy away from that and I'd expect him to finish a lot closer next time.
