Dry and calm here right now, and I would say as mild as it has been recently. About 2 miles from the course.

I think it'll be Hoe Hoe Hoe for an early Christmas present.

Anyone know if they definitely sell tickets at the gate? I've left it too late to buy one online, it's only bringing up Sunday now. **edit Looks like I can get a Tattersalls ticket still, I'll go for that - want to watch Hung Jury hang'em out to dry

I'm waiting on the Cheltenham placepot dividend. Might not be much. Real shame that Aeroplane Blond made that mistake, would have made it a lot more interesting.

Mildly surprised Aworkinprogress doesn't go here. One interpretation might be they think he can just go to Uttoxeter instead and pick up 4 grand for doing nothing, before stepping up for a more valuable race a bit further on.

Nice one Yorick 🏆

Going back a bit on a few I missed... Unjeu Royal Chepstow 10th Oct This 2 mile novice is often well-contested (Fasol came home in 5th, not hard to see him in class 2s over the next couple of years). The first 4 should all do well, but won't be any big prices. Kim Bailey's Matty's...

Been toying with the idea all week, Danny. The worry atm is I'd need to be driving down from the Midlands tomorrow night (in a LWB Crafter) and the forecast doesn't look amenable for driving. Hoping to make it still (think it's only about a 90 minute drive ), but I'll need to sit it out and see...

I suspect the only likely way to have any chance of nailing the bumper winner will be to go in on the back of a Jinnyj paddock watch. I might have to brave the anticipated biblical-level deluge just for that pleasure. I have a suspicion John Dawson's Shinealight might outrun likely odds if...

I don't know too many people...so I've had no more than a handful of 'what you gonna do with the time' comments. But this is the first time someone simply said ' congratulations on making it'. I love that. Thank you, Danny.

That'll be interesting, TwinDrake. Post away, you couldn't be in a better place to hear some theories (or facts) on what's happening. You'd probably get some theories on old results/trades if you've kept a record.

12th Nov The Ayr bumper Kinneston ran two here, with both looking interesting for the future. On jockey bookings, it looked like more was expected from Takeyoutotheisland than Kingston Mail. It finished the other way round. Lucinda's Coconut Man looked a potential good thing on breeding...

I'd assumed your bumper posts were AI-generated, Lucky. Was that an incorrect assumption?

11th Nov Karlita Desbois 1.26 Huntingdon Mel Rowley's Beaumec De Houelle mare ran around green on hurdling debut in the early part of the race, lost ground on most of the field halfway, ultimately beaten a long way. But finished fresh-looking after an educational-looking run overall. Will...

10th Nov 1.00 Kempton Sheena West's Sixties Icon - Reteti - showed some ability in a couple of bumpers a couple of years ago, followed by a stint at around a mile on the flat with minor promise. Finished a happy, perfectly-placed last at 50-1 in this 6-runner class 4 novice. The first two...

I toyed briefly with the wildly fleeting thought of trying it with Ian...but, fvck me, that would mean I'd be reading (admittedly entertaining) forum posts all day and nothing else would get done!!!!

It's a guess, but try clicking on your username top right, then select 'preferences'. There are a lot of options to tick (or not). Don't think any of them specifically say 'receive notifications from someone you've followed', but one of them might be the one that turns that on. You can also...

A couple 'disgraced' themselves today with better-than-expected runs. Well, let's say 'semi-disgraced', both beaten far enough that double-figure odds at least might be on the cards in future, while equally showing there's some ability in coming home 3rd at big odds. In the 1.40 at Ffos Las - a...

Looks one of the toughest I can remember today. Adjuvant and Castle Stuart might go OK, but would be wanting at least 60 (looks doable at this stage)

OMG is it 45 years!! Feels like yesterday. I remember Pathy liked heavy ground, and it was tipping down all day. Listened on the radio while working in a VG Foodstore with my first ever tenner riding on a horse (I only earned £28.50 a week!), taking the morning 25's in the Tote next door. Tried...
