I think we have our winner. :lol:

Executive Benefit runs tomorrow at Wetherby in a Mares Hunters' Chase, just the 2 declared, level weights (11-8) yet one rated 99 and one rated 57. Nice competitive affair. :blink: My mate is going mad, on a 6 runner card they have a bumper and a 2 runner mares hunters' chase. I'll be there...

Flat - Paul Mulrennan if it was a sprinter, otherwise I'd have total faith in Andrea Atzeni or Danny Tudhope. Jumps - Noel Fehily, Wayne Hutchinson and the obvious choices of Ruby or Geraghty.

I'm there all 3 days, time booked off work already and just ordered my Go Racing In Yorkshire Annual Pass. No idea where you are from Slim Chance so are you driving, staying over, train etc?? I'll be driving all 3 days along with a friend of mine. There is a decent pub on the opposite side of...

This might have been mentioned elsewhere - what has happened to Northern trainers having any success at Cheltenham Festivals? You might expect the odd winner from a John Quinn, Donald McCain Jr, Sue Smith or Tim Easterby but this year there seemed to be a lack of any with live chances. NH Racing...

Does the RP site also tell you when a horse was gelded. I know a while back I bought a RP on course and it had details in there but not on the website at the time. My friend had backed a horse on the flat and it had been gelded only 22 days earlier. On a stable visit one of the trainers (think...

I've seen him a few times at Haydock but seemed to be there just as a spectator rather than working, usually around the parade ring.

Thanks. I was thinking Rocky Creek might get me over the line in first place but now I'll have to see how many of mine will run again in Ireland, hopefully a fair few of them. Looking forward to the Aintree meeting too.

Can you use Silviniaco Conti as a yardstick based on consistent performances on flatter tracks and would that show he just doesn't get home over 3m2f, doesn't act at Cheltenham or has only been beating non stayers (Cue Card, Dynaste, Champagne Fever, Al Ferof as 4 examples)?? He's a strange...

Am I right in thinking this 10 to follow runs all the way through the Punchestown festival rather than ending on the day of the Grand National like the official Tote one always used to?

It was all going so well and then Annie Power fell and now Champagne Fever is a non runner. I bet I am not 3rd by the end of today, on the slide now. :(

Fav's look hard to oppose today but my record backing short prices is awful so I'm taking them on for small stakes. L'Ami Serge in the first race, form looks fairly strong to me and at the price is the pick over Douvan. UDS looks the real deal but an unexposed one at a huge price is Sail By The...

It's all fairly new to me. I've only had a DSLR for a year or two and I've never done any photography courses etc so I'm just learning all the time. I use a Nikon D3100 and these pictures were taken with a Sigma 70-300mm lens. My other lens is the basic 18-35mm one you get with the camera. I...

Without going back through all 35 pages I just wanted to ask if anyone has mentioned Smad Place and wanted to gather some opinions? I like a horse with festival form and Smad Place has finished 3rd in the World Hurdle twice and finished 2nd in the RSA last year. He seems to go well at Cheltenham...

http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/11443422.28_men_arrested_in_Keighley_grooming_gang_probe/ The Calderdale case from that link has recently been dealt with. I'm unsure about the Leeds one and the Keighley one is still outstanding. I can see trouble ahead when the Keighley one goes to...

Have you been reading this? http://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/american-sniper/ Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. :) Maybe the "legend" felt he had to create a few stories to keep up the legendary status. I just read that article that states the whole pursuit of the...

I was going to add a few words to each picture but it was cross referencing them with the titles/comments already in my photo albums and would have taken a while so I just uploaded them and added the odd comment here and there. Hoping to get to Kempton on 21st Feb and that is a really good...

I saw American Sniper on Saturday night and enjoyed it. There is a well documented ridiculous scene with a fake plastic baby but the story behind the sniper is fairly good and some of the scenes are quite intense. Quite a good balance between battle scenes and family scenes to stop it becoming a...
