So I've had a little mooch over today's card at Newbury and here are a few thoughts: Act of Innocence - think this could be a very nice horse and Hendo likes this race. Nice One Eric ew (as I think the Bens don' tilt at windmills - Our Boy Stan for instance) Mambonumberfive - liked this a lot...

Oh but you will look utterly fabulous! :love: And maybe start a new trend...who knows? You might even get the Blue Mic treatment....

Well I love Golden Ace. She's tough, genuine and deserves her glorious CV! Plus she's trained by a total legend who happily dressed up in a green tutu, singlet and tights when he appeared as Fairy Liquid, the narrator, in a Pantomime I put on (need to dig out a photo). How many other trainers...

I've just hit a reasonable run atm. It can easily go the other way. But I've had a good spell pointing too so long may it continue :cheerleader:

Not the worst day - he didn't end up going as he thought it might rain (it was a little drizzly) Anyway results were: First race 1-2 (no I didn't do the forecast...duh! Second was 25-1) Second race dead heat for 3rd Third race - won (6-1) Fourth race - 3rd (thought she had him too far back as...

Taunton Thursday I've had a gander as a friend is going and has demanded some tips so here are my thoughts: Miss Althea Blue Knock off Sox ew Tom Taggle Wicked Thoughts Him Malaya Oakleys Way King of the Story No Risk Today Lets see if he uses my suggestions or does what he invariably...

The closing date was 1st December - I see it's now been pushed out a week. I would have applied but it would have meant sacrificing my other two roles within the sport both of which I'd rather do instead.

Such a shame. I used to love going to Horseheath when I lived in Newmarket. Always excellent racing and the viewing is great.

Except Golden Ace does have to put that last very disappointing run behind her. She looked an absolute picture in the paddock and was bucking before the race with exhuberance but rain like a complete drain. Subsequently scoped dirty on course but back home she was OK. Not sure what to make of...

Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb! You can't call him a failure! He's fab and won me lots last March!

Hot damn, Boys I think I should be coming to Chadds to keep an eye on you two! A post- Crimbo treat

I am always wary of the KG simply because many horses do not enjoy Kempton. It is a funny course over 3m - the fences seem to come quickly and some very good horses have failed to perform in the past in the race. Those that do enjoy the relentless gallop, jump, keep enjoying it - Kauto and...

TO be fair I did like all the Honeyball horses but Crest of Arms was the most green and difficult to handle in the paddock plus he was keen in the race and a bit wayward. He can only improve. Roxi is definitely the pick on looks though.

Meant to say that I was pretty taken with the types in the Wincanton bumper last Thursday (20th Nov) - Honeyball had three in it of which I was told the winner would win. But his others were nice too (second and unplaced though v green) 1. Bailey's Comet 2. Champ Cabal 3. Roximan (this was...

I watched the race on my phone as I stood in a field in Devon at a point to point. I thought it was an incredible performance to run like that and still hold on especially as he was headed over the last. He just pulverised them (from what I could see on a 4 inch screen) and kept galloping...

I'm still in the moment where 2012 is only three years ago.... 😁 Brucie figured a lot on many people's list and so did many others who are still alive and kicking which is good to see. Slim were you SlimChance back in those days? I know you had another name but couldn't remember if you were...

I suddenly recalled this thread from yesteryear and was having a looksee and Goodness, Troods! Was it really not so very long ago that we thought Rolf was OK? Some interesting picks too (and also rather sad to see so many dormant accounts including permanent ones) but the inaugural year...

Don't beat yourself up over it - I missed a winner I had marked up as one to back at Wincanton on Thursday while I was there. Then I looked down and saw the owner (who I know personally and can't stand) so I left it - it won at 9-1.... 😂 Serves me right!

Liking the new green initiative!

I take it you weren't on then?
