I'm sure that Cattermole thinks that you're a twat as well - this gratuitous name calling of presenters you don't like is getting more and more personal and insulting nowadays. It's infantile and offensive. Some of us know and like these people you slag off on a regular basis. Grow up.

I was initially given a slot for 1400 on Queen Mother day to see my consultant - swiftly told them no can do [back in September] and managed to switch it to a week later! Good luck DG.

Well, yes. I've two friends who are desperate to find and purchase some raspberry cords but reckon they're finding them hard to track down....

Wear your raspberry cords with your tweed coat and you'll be grand.

How can his name possibly be mis-pronounced???!?! Who was guilty of that???!?!?! Mind you Peadar Miguel was painful to hear as he was called to post tonight but thankfully by the time they were off he was being called by his rightful name....

I can't be having that - I think Somersby will go very close in the Queen Mother.

It really is a massive generalisation to state that PTP tracks are 'tighter than NH tracks', whether it's Rachael Green saying it or anyone else!

Riverside Theatre by far the best horse going into the race.

Yes, I know Peper Harrow is tight, but the statement implied that ALL PTP tracks are tighter then rules tracks which is simply not the case. You've never been to Haydock?

Well Kri, I think we've done the 'do French horses actually jump better than UK ones?' to death now so shan't bring it up again. I am slightly curious though where the statement that PTP tracks are tighter than rules tracks comes from?! Not the case at all for many tracks. They don't all...

Hmmm, I'll keep quiet about the owner....let's just say sympathy not emanating for him.

Precisely - both hopeless, gutless firms. Although in their defence, Sid James are at least letting me have tenners on again.........

Hah! I had a long-standing invitation to that box!! If memory serves, Rory wasn't there, but his fiancée certainly was. Lord H was there at invitation from myself also. I'd also like to add that it was an agonising decision to go to Newbury rather than Towcester (despite the long-standing...

I'm hoping Henderson runs Aegean Dawn in the Coral Cup, which I think he can win; the step up in trip should be right up his street.

G-G, you're forgetting what you yourself posted. I did even quote your line directly, that the horse "probably would go on better ground, but Old is not prepared to risk him" which is surely tantamount to saying he needs heavy ground seeing as it was nearly unraceable ground at Towcester on...

He did run up very light, yes. I'm still not convinced he would have won though in hindsight. With Murphy in the saddle I'm not sure his jumping would have been much better in fairness!! This year we still don't know but even given his hurdle wins there, I don't really think he's a great fan...

Oh I don't know, Hamm. In his novice hurdle season he ran well in the RSA hurdle to come 3rd to two useful horses, I'm not sure the result would have been different had he done much else. Last year I don't think his jumping was ever going to be good enough to win the RSA chase anyway, it was...

He's actually known as Henry in the yard Euro! :p

Am I reading right - the Genius of George Nympton putting up negatives for Cue Card and Time For Rupert as they haven't run for so long? I know he's critical of himself for not running Diamond Harry (which in itself is probably a clue that he's very well fancied, I reckon Nick's getting...

If you've a horse with fragile legs, you try your best to avoid heavy ground as well; it can be just as injurious as running on faster ground. Heavy going - or sticky going - pulls on the legs and can thus pull tendons/joints/ligaments around and put pressure on them. You said that the horse...
