Cheers all - glad folk were on. Martin

12:00 Sedgefield - Working Title

These days there's not the stigma attached to riding in pony races over the sea that there may have been back in the day - a bookmaker I knew from the North East used to swear by his trips over to Dingle every year and a girl I know from the p2p's down in the South East rode a winner there a...

Chestnut Charlie is the horse you're thinking of Eddie - he was beaten a couple of times in flapping races under the name The Boxer from memory before winning a few bumpers (subsequently disqualified). Connections (Lindsay Woods trained I think?) took him to France as since there are no...

Colours at P2P's (I have no real experience of pony racing in Ireland or flapping in Scotland etc) don't matter in as much as you don't have to register them so in theory we could turn up with royal blue & royal blue cap (Godolphin) or another set of famous colours and AFAIK no rule would be...

Sorry only just seen this - certainly looks very decent thus far.

Very sad news, exceptional jockey and a cracking broadcaster. RIP

If they're going to prat around with the fixture list etc. I'd double the prize money of the Becher to try and get some Hennessy types into that - the fences are already a lot softer than they were and it would give the classier horses a chance to run around the big fences before trainers are...

Cheltenham's great but it already has plenty of big races. Last I heard there were no issues with it and Ladbrokes-Coral were going to step in to sponsor the race, identical conditions etc. - great move for the sport. Martin

Cracking shout Gigs - well done!!
