First UK Graded race (I think) of the season today with the Persian War at Chepstow & just a shame there’s only 7 going as would be perfect for backing a couple EW against the fav Mcfabulous is being talked up as a Stayers Hurdle horse and is rightly favourite but couldn’t touch him at odds...

Robbie Power's moving to the UK to avoid Covid travel issues. A big decision and probably says something about the strength of the Tizzard string. Will be tough on him with a young family at home, but plenty of winners will soften it plenty, plus tech makes it a little easier these days...

The Novice Handicap Chase has been dropped for the new Mares Chase: https://www.britishhorseracing.com/press_releases/mrs-paddy-power-mares-chase-to-replace-novices-handicap-chase-at-the-festival/ Little disappointed as enjoyed the novice race as both a spectacle & punting opportunity and...

13.00 at Fontwell looks a reasonable little race… Second season novice Coolanly has some decent form in the book, including a 2nd to Henry VIII winner Esprit Du Large, but think he may be worth taking on as is marginally disappointing in my view I’m siding with I K Brunel, who’s got a course...

Captain Kangaroo, Robin De Carlow or both archie?

He also got pushed very wide at the 3rd last...."Needs a bit of work but very promising" a good summation and def one to watch next time

I'm in!

Never in doubt :whistle:

The Butchers Said goes in the 13.10 at Bangor. He's a shade of odds on but think 3m will suit and expect him to win...

Great effort today and looks like you will continue to have lots of fun with her this season

Aramon out for the season with a tendon injury :(

Chrome shows his metal in thrilling St Leger 15 Sep 20 The Pertemps St Leger shows that tiny margins and moments make huge differences. After three minutes of battle, less than a quarter of a second separated the first four horses over the line, writes Matthew Tester… Galileo Chrome gets a...

always tougher to take when taken relatively young, with family and a good guy. He'll be long remembered for sure. RIP

Think both of them could be pretty good and definitely better than summer jumpers. The Butcher Said gets a 9/10 for his jumping, but Longhouse gets full marks!

Congrats to Grey & Co as have just seen Getaway Gorgeous won the Mares novice at Punchestown. Well done guys!

Todays 3.05 at Uttoxeter looks a smart little race Ballyhome did OK to win at Market Rasen but the form looks nothing special and Winter Getaway has a chance at the wights but lacks experience so think it’s between the top 2 in the market Liked The Butcher Said last year and he's built to be...
