    Top call, jockey messed that up, not the first time that's happened to one of yours at Newcastle in recent weeks. Keep at it. Martin

    The Pointing Thread

    No problem Benny - hopefully Dennis Our Menace goes better than January Don though the latter did run well for a long way, just weakened in the straight.

    The Pointing Thread

    Looks a big price from a decent yard, albeit one that's lacking in Rules winners of late - winner of that Littlewindsor maiden won first time out under Rules a couple of weeks ago. Would also take a look at January Don in the opener at Plumpton, probably won't be good enough to win with plenty...

    Big Yards - Can They Get Too Big?

    Of course they can, like everything it's about the team and putting the right people in the right positions. Few think that Sir Clive Woodward is the greatest rugby coach of all time but he brought the right people into his England set-up so that the team were capable of winning the 2003 RU...

    Mares in Racing

    Miss de Champdoux, La Segnora, Formosa Joana Has, De Bon Coeur, Hippomene are all fillies/mares who've beaten the geldings in the top races in France in recent years and going back a bit further Grivette & Princesse d'Anjou. I'm sure many slip through the net in the UK/Ireland as there has been...

    RP set to chop greyhound coverage?

    If the Racing Post ever receives backing from despot Middle Eastern states rather than bookmakers you can expect the National Hunt coverage to go the same way. Martin

    Bit of fun for the lunchbreak

    Not for the Goodwood Stakes (I think) that opens one of the days of the Glorious Goodwood meeting. They start at the winning post and gallop back up the home straight. martin

    No problem EC. For what it's worth there's a description of each track via the fixtures tab on p2p.ie. This is what it says about Loughbrickland for example "Compact oval track. Approximately seven furlongs. Climb over last two fences but not over testing as decline to line after last also...

    @Rhys_N_Williams I can recommend as an exceptional judge, particularly of things over the channel.

    Tatts Farm - flat & right handed, can get very quick in the Spring & heavy in the winter. Longish sweeping bend after the winning post but effectively 2 straights with 2 fences in the home straight and a stiffish finish. Punchestown P2P - run on the inside of the hurdles course, right handed &...

    The Pointing Thread

    Dromahane is left-handed, never been myself but a friend tells me that she's not certain it's 3m in distance, 3 fences in the straight & often attracts a decent calibre of horse to it, beware of the Confined Hunts Maiden race they stage, it's generally pretty poor relative to the others...

    13:55 Lingfield - Galros Lady. This is the best handicapped horse in training, I put her up for the Huntingdon Novices Hunter Chase in May when she ran like a drain having been in season. She racked up a few wins last season having been beaten by Innocent Girl who hacked up off a similarly low...

    Gigginstown/Mullins

    Qualified Rider technically in Ireland though not sure how that effects the "Amateur" status. In the UK generally you pay expenses, which are allowed but some riders expenses are higher than others, and some will have the same expenses to ride at Huntingdon as they would at Musselburgh (within...

    Racebets normally do too I think - also never been restricted on Tote stuff despite being factored right down to zero on fixed odds.

    We lost Barney's Honour to a freak accident at the yard over the Summer - had been looking forward to having a crack at Aintree with him.
