Glad you had a great day - I’m with you in spirit tomorrow. Have another good one.

You’re working well, uncle.

Wasn’t worth backing Jonbon in the end, just as well. Couple of notebooks at Cheltenham. Racing goes ahead after the rain, but the heavy going makes it a bit of a minefield. 1:45: Be Aware - hugely competitive race with several high lass chase debutants as well as a well thought of Irish...

Worth more than a spoonful, Danny. Very nice, sir

Aye, looked dead and gone.

Oh, Ian, you cut me to the quick. There am I labouring over my daily blog only to find I’m sending you into paroxysms of rage :eek:

Well, that turned out a good day. Tanking Along and Roe And Co both won very nicely, as did Japetus who finished very strongly and winning despite pretty poor jumping (not fluent at last, either). Plenty more to come there if he gets his jumping sorted. No notebooks today, but can I resist...

The jumping of Joyeuse was adequate, but a bit cumbersome and slowish getting away. An expensive school, albeit not for the full Monty. 11:50 Sedgefield Tanking Along - nudged up a couple of pounds for last time (hardly conducive to try hard to be second) should cope with that ok - 21/10 was a...

Only in my dreams.

Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! I wish I’d never poked my nose in. Of course I like to win, but my greater satisfaction comes because it’s ME doing the winning. Reminds me of my other passion - birdwatching. My shelves groaned with identification guides as I struggled to name what I was seeing. Over...

I’ve been having a play - not interested in the prediction side of things, since it spoils all the run. The post race analyses are promising though, but Sim’s warning is very apposite . I asked how Count Of Vendome had jumped the last today. Told me he cleared it well, but faded on the run in...

I know I’m probably miles behind the pace, but I’ve just asked ChatGPT to analyse a horse race for me. “Sure” it said “put up a photo of the race card”. I did that and it came back in seconds with reams of analysis and comment and a final conclusion for a safe bet, a value bet and a risky bet...

:ROFLMAO: Well, I tapped “speak” and listened to your dulcet tones as well.

Really like that, Danny.

No notebooks, but I’ve taken evens about Joyeuse 1:30 Bangor because if she handles the fences she’s more than a cut above the rest.

All getting pretty deep, but I quite like Danny’s net good or net bad. Handicapper would have a hell of a job sorting the ratings, though.

Got some notebooks out, but haven’t had a good look yet. 2:20 Friday Be Aware - 30/10 Good chase debut win by Be Aware who jumped well and although Grandeur Dame had led for a long way and into the last where he fell Be Aware hadn’t been really asked for much at that stage. Good by them both...

Already aboard at 8/1 so it’ll be a nice average if he turns up in good order.

I dearly hope you’re wrong, Ian. Constitution Hill remains the best I’ve ever seen. Whether he can still reach those heights again I doubt, but he can still see this lot off. He can no longer flick through the tops of the hurdles as the new ones are less forgiving, so he has to jump them which...
