Word and Excel can be a bit clunky on a Mac, Arthur. If you’re mainly using those products and browsing, then maybe a Windows PC is best for you.

Gerri straight to Cheltenham Gold Cup - swerves DRF.

Admittedly, I only saw it on the TV, but it looked to me like Jonbon was shifting slightly to the right at a few fences down the side off thevtrack to the top off the hill. Anyone else think the same, or was it just a trick of the TV angle?

I made my first visit to the Festival mainly to see Remittance Man run in the QMCC, and Fitzgerald did indeed put him on the floor, the useless bast*ard.

Seems to be plenty of support for Sir Gino the last 24hrs. I certainly didn’t expect to see any 5/4 about Burdett Road.

Stayers fancy Theleme has met with a setback and won’t run at the Festival.

The Stayers is a graveyard race. I’ll have £1 perm fcs and tcs on the three outers (whoever they are) on this sh*tbox event, and move swiftly onto the Plate.

Warms the cockles that, PJ. :thumbsup:

Trainer limit idea has been shelved, but BHA will keep it “under review”. Eejits.

Agreed that TRW is the one that stands-out at the prices in the Cotswold. Everything entered in the Cleeve could retire tomorrow, and I wouldn’t give two shits, save for having to go through the predictable bollocks about what a great warrior Paisley Park was (in truth, he is a mutt of the...

Have downloaded Chip War following Colm and PJ's recommendations.

High Class Hero: £1000 Win @ 12/1 (BetUK) - Albert Bartlett Novice Hurdle.

Re the Post Office scandal, the old rag 'Computer Weekly' was writing about flaws in the Horizon system (probably) 20 years ago. I think this is where Private Eye's interest in the story first emerged. It's an utter disgrace that it was actively allowed to drag on for so long, when all the...

My reads since last update, with my now famous Grasshopper reviews: The Right To Rule (Ben Riley-Smith) - Treatise of umpteen years of useless Tory Govts, so a combination of schadnefruede and utter despair. The Fall of Boris Johnson (Sebastian Payne) - exactly what you'd expect, and all the...

I think I posted on last year’s Champion Hurdle thread that not even God could stop Constitution Hill…….but I wouldn’t be as certain about Mr D Maxwell.

Insofar as Mr D Maxwell is concerned, missing out on his winners is a much slower route to the poorhouse than backing the ones he’s on. If I like one of his in a race, I immediately move onto a different race to bet in.

Nothing to do with TV coverage, but Cheltenham Racecourse have a social-media campaign running at present. It consists of a daily video vignette of some racing ‘worthy’ counting down the 100 days until the Gold Cup, and is without doubt the most tedious sack of sh*it it’s ever been my...

On that line of argument, you’d basically have to say Theatreworld was better horse than Hurricane Fly. It’s as flimsy as a rag-doll, imo.

No stress, Darren. The form-book speaks for itself, imo, and I’ve long-since stopped trying to justify HF’s place in it. Maybe I’m mellowing with age? Plenty weren’t convinced when he was winning two Champion Hurdles, placing in another two, and winning five Irish Champion Hurdles, four...

No beef here whatsoever, Eddie - you are the most honest broker on the internet when it comes to racing. Arthur isn’t far behind you, though I hear word that he is prone to summer bets on 6f handicaps at The Curragh, which obviously brings his reputation into some ill repute. :thumbsup:
