I’ve taken 33/1 about Restitution. Will get his ground on Saturday

“If Gordon Ellliott decides he doesn't want to go to Cheltenham (this season) I'd have no issue with that. Next season GERRI COLOMBE could be a Gold Cup horse. I'm sure there will be ante-post punters going bananas because I've told you he might not go to the festival but we're looking at next...

He sends out a regular e-mail to a number of people, with his Saturday selections. He sent one last Friday so assume he’s okay and he’s probably spending his winnings from Green Book & Castle Robin.

And the fact I didn’t dive straight into Betfair and hoover the 7/2 says it all. She’s the likeliest winner but it’s a very hot race this year and she is 9

Honeysuckle confirmed as going for the Mares

If evidence were ever needed that most of the odds compilers haven’t got a fecking clue, look at the prices for the NH Chase. Gerri Colombe is 2nd fav with all NRNB Bookies but he’s no longer eligible to run in the race. Gaillard a good thing at 6/4 IMO

Of course but he’s running his 4 best novice 2m chasers all in the same race. He could easily have avoided that

Think he meant Dysart. I reckon El Fabiolo makes them both work if he jumps better than on his chase debut

To be fair to Willie, he certainly hasn’t shied away from running his horses against each other. Despite him having 6 of the 8 runners in the Spring Juvenile and 5 of the 8 in the Irish Arkle, they’re competitive. The Irish Gold Cup isn’t though, although it should offer some insight into how...

I can only assume you’re not using an iOS device Simmo as it simply doesn’t work on either of mine, regardless of what I do.

The DRF may have great horses but much like the Cheltenham festival (though that to a lesser degree), it’s hardly competitive. There’s a good article in the RP today about how WPM is ruining the Cheltenham Festival, not maliciously but by his sheer dominance with reference to the fact 30 years...

Last (but not least) one in the series. Courtesy of John Randall The modern jumps scene would be almost unrecognisable to a time-travelling racegoer from the 1960s who saw the two greatest steeplechasers of all time, stablemates Arkle and Flyingbolt. This week's When Horses Raced series has...

Once upon a time, there were two special horses who symbolised the way things used to be. They raced year after year, through spring, summer, autumn and winter, over hurdles and on the Flat, always busy, never boring. They were old horses who to jumps fans became old friends. Now some of the...

Starting with the best… At the time of his retirement in 1991, Desert Orchid was a horse everyone could relate to. He had never been wrapped in cotton wool, with his connections always looking for a reason to run him rather than waiting for another day. Between the ages of four and 12 he ran on...

I assume you know this Martin but the X Country in March is a level weights contest nowadays so for example, were Deise Aba to run, he’d be 18lb worse off with Delta Work and Back on the Lash 16lb. Delta Work is actually a good price at odds against NRNB in my opinion because he is more likely...

Paisley Park £1,000 Win @ 10/1 Stayers Hurdle (Bet365)

Better call Saul gets as good as Breaking Bad by around the third season

No exaggeration to say the day Bet365 started restricting me was my most painful ever loss related to betting. Worse than Annie’s fall. I’d love a proper 365 account

How’d that work out though ? :ninja:

Monsignor in 2000 for one and what a Tolworth that was, despite the small field. Monsignor went on to win the RSA Best Mate was just touched off in the Supreme Snow Drop won the Triumph
