Camera shouldn't be a problem,but it will be busy.

Always makes me laugh when Highclere is referred to a syndicate when the cost for a 1/20th share is probably greater than most people pay for a full horse over the course of a year. Give me my ickle share of a modest horse over one of their expensive blue bloods any day. Who gives a monkeys...

Jeez,just looked at the dams other progeny that have raced. Whatever possessed them to spend 100k on the horse in the first place?

Unsurprisingly (to me anyway) Calico Cat didn't make anywhere near the 200k hoped for at the sales and went for 40k (to a Sweden trainer by the looks of things?)which is still a decent profit on the original investment,however it was only 37k more than the great Teacher who must be one of...

It used to bug me no end that Touch Above (who ironically had a couple of wins in the Rapid Lad Handicap) and Rapid Lad had races named after them at Beverley yet Eire Leath Sceal didn't.

Surely this one Stampy?? (not Mr Tinkler obviously) Yes I know it's not from the RP and it's not a horse. http://www.amateurjockeys.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dsc_002121_2_2.jpg

PJ MCDonald rode Rosairlie didn't he?

Dotted up

I wondered if he might be struggling to do the weight on either of the top two but he has ridden at 8-9 a couple of weeks ago. Presumably it's the fact that those are Al Zarooni's horses rather than Bin Suroor.

Alex Hammond has napped Born To Sea Old Vic which probably not only will be the biggest priced selection she has ever put up but also it's likely to jinx the poor beast. Hope for your sake I am wrong and she manages to tip a rare winner.

I think they are her current official ratings in the various disciplines. 58 on turf,60 on AWT. 119 over hurdles,117 over fences.

Hoping that Southwestern can bow out on a high in the big 'un.

Mid Dancer also deserves a honourable mention for his 3rd Grand Steeplechase de Paris taking his careeer earnings over £2.5 million.

Pretty sure you are correct on that one.

Prize money and television exposure I would have thought.

Could end up on some of our flat runners if available as I know Fordy has long since admired him and I see has booked him for Ministerofinterior on Tuesday should he run.

Well I never,hard to believe that is the same Silver Story I saw get well stuffed (struggling when brought down) in a bad novice hurdle at Fakenham a year ago to the day. Mind you bit of difference between that and a hunter chase at Chelters. Goes without saying what a legend of the scene...

Not saying he should be the winner,but it is a joke that Hunt Ball is not in the list.

I see the great Arte Del Caccio was tailed off last in a seller at Leicester this afternoon. I'm sure the connections of Camelot et al are all quaking in their boots at the prospect of taking on this beast at Epsom!

Recently moved,didn't have full internet access when I spoke to her at Plumpton a couple of weeks back.
