Should switch it to October :p. Then it’d be out of the way and we could concentrate on all the other goodies in the box.

As pointed out by Gullible earlier, there’s an arrogance about Cheltenham and they have fallen for the hype themselves. Thus, they believe they are untouchable and can soak the race goers as they wish, forgetting that it is supposed to be a showpiece event for the sport and not just a means of...

You can only spend so much time sorting out horses to follow and waiting for the notebook to build up before you start getting fed up and pining for some action. Give in. 3:40 Plumpton: Alien Storm - 22/9 headed over the last and just held by stablemate winner going down by three quarters of a...

Coo, that’s some start for jockey turned trainer Chester Williams. Has ten boxes at his mother’s yard and had his first two runners at Newton Abbott yesterday - both won.

Anyone see Haggas on Luck on Sunday "He's got away with blue murder on the racecourse for a while." William Haggas has expressed his frustration at Oisin Murphy's riding, claiming he has been guilty of "professional fouls" on the racecourse. Sporting Life headline SL article - William Haggas...

It’s a horror story, jj. I’ll kick their door in again when I go up to the gallops, although that’s not often nowadays.

If they ran the race again I’d be surprised if the result would be much different however they chose to play the cards. I think the race was a “proper” one and sorted them out quite well. Almaqam is obviously better than was thought and I suppose the only slight question mark is whether it was...

…and then another three

Well, that was fun :cry:. To top it all I said on the Champions Day thread that anything would win the Fillies and Mares bar Kaplana and Estrange :ROFLMAO:

There’s no sun so the far side won’t be drying quicker than the stands side which is in shadow from the stands when the sun shines.

Saturday 18th October That was a nice debut by Koapey, jumped well and wasn’t flogged to death in a fruitless chase of the winner. Promising. Champions Day today and it’ll be a super finale to the flat season, but not one to be risking house and furniture. I took Field Of Gold last evening and...

Friday 17th October Not much of interest today. I wasn’t expecting Koapey - 4:07 Uttoxeter - to go straight over fences this season rather than sticking to hurdles for a bit. Warren Greatrex knows what he’s up to, though, so it’ll be interesting to see how he goes and how the market reacts.

You might be waiting a bit :) “We are going to stick to hurdles. The plan is a Grade 2 Mares' Hurdle at Ascot in the middle of January. That race will tell us if she is good enough for the Mares' Hurdle (at Cheltenham) or if she's just a handicapper.”

Blimey! What a fiasco. Be interesting to see how fast the rest of the card goes. This one was run 5:00 secs fast, the two previously 10.4 slow and 12.5 slow.

2:48 Wetherby: A bit early to be having full bets, but Primoz won this race last year and had a good run a few weeks ago at Kelso where he ran pretty near his best in second. Would prefer to see a bit of soft in the ground, though. Parisencore is handily weighted, but his best runs have come...

Nice one, sir

Just think Estrange is much better on soft and Kalpana keeps disappointing.
