    The 2023 Longshot Thread

    Agree with this, I was looking at the race yesterday and was surprised he was as big as he is. There is a lot of rain around this week, we know Venetia's thrive in those conditions and Easy as That looks no exception. Plus she's operating at a 41% strike rate for the past 14 days. Easy as That...

    Two nice horses. They went an absolute crawl and both will be seen in a better light in a more truly run race. Nicholls told McNeil - when he put the winner away last season - that he’d be winning races like the Challow this year.

    Frankie Dettori Retirement Year Thread

    From RP Frankie Dettori will miss the chance to win next month's Melbourne Cup, one of the few major races not on his glittering CV, after being suspended for a combined 16 days for overuse of the whip on two of his Champions Day rides. Dettori was found to have used his whip once above the...

    Think he was reportedly the sailor who first spotted America and got into a fight with his captain; Columbus as to who spotted it first.

    Champions day Ascot 2023

    Completely agree but Stickels has said if the outer round course (on which the Champion stakes is due to be run) is riding heavy they will switch to the inner round course, which is riding good / good to soft. The don't have the luxury of switching the straight track races though so the QE II...

    Champions day Ascot 2023

    I took 12s about Big Rock in the QE II this morning as the race will be run on the straight track which could be riding heavy whereas the round course races have the option of switching to the inner course which will see significantly better ground. Heavy ground and I reckon Nashwa goes for the...

    Richard Fahey is no mug and while the £50K sprint handicap at York Saturday is a tough race with many of the usual suspects, he’s running The Ridler as a 3yo off 100 following wind surgery. In his last 3 runs since winning the Norfolk he’s basically come last but they were the Mornay, Greenham...

    Chris Cook wrote a good piece today, which is about right IMO Courtesy of the RP: This one really hurts. Until now, it's not been that difficult for a fan to make peace with changes to the Grand National, even though the fences are not what they were and Becher's is no longer instantly...

    Can you imagine it ?. He’ll probably ask for an entrance where his glorious return is announced by bugles, riding with King Charles & Camilla. Before jumping off the top of their car into his adoring crowd.
