Well I suppose if Jonbon is going Aintree Sandown its worth a try . Is Marine Nationale expected to run ?

I was a member at Doncaster for some years in the early 2000s but the redevelopment from municipal run down charm into a giant Wetherspoons was a disaster and they dumped annual members in seating past the winning post. Last time I went was Camelot's Triple crown when he was foiled by the doper...

Well actually I now think it has too many handicaps...... It used to be Ascot Stakes Royal Hunt Cup Bessborough King George V Britannia Wokingham

Yamadori - the horse that stopped the moment he got to the front . Lester took over for the Spring Cup and he nearly got caught again - scandalously then demoted after winning the Victoria Cup for giving Private Lines and Edward Hide a slight nudge.

I have always liked the Fred Winter has taken a lot of the chaff out of the Triumph that used to ake that race a bit of a lottery.

ah right - I think of the big races as being the 4 champtionship races (CH , CC, SH,GC) to which the Ryanair probably now has to be added .

I can see very good reasons for moving both the Mares Hurdle and Chase away from the Festival but cannot see it happening.

I think the number of races a novice needs to have run in could perhaps do with exceptions - so a horse that can jump and has shown their hand like Joyeuse could run at the Festival. So perhaps if they have already run in a premier handicap like the William Hill Hurdle, the Greatwood or the...

As much as many of us might hanker for 3 days - it ain't going to happen nor is Saturday likely due to lost income from hospitality . So if you have to have 4 days 28 races what changes would you make I would 1. Make the NH Chase the 4 miler again ( it was only reduced in length due to...

Do they count as big races?

It seems unfortunately that seat for a season is still running but they have not publicised it .

Not sure about normal self - I don't think there have been any reports so far that there was anything wrong with him . It seemed just that he was less effective on the good to soft ground that was teetering on good . Also perhaps he had been consdiered too much of a certainty due to the...

With the exception it seems of Inthepocket - who Rachael always rides.

Not surprising after Synchronised once bitten twice shy in running a sketchy JP Gold Cup winning jumper in the National - albeit of course that was the last year of the horrible wooden core fences.

I miss the food hall they used to have at the November meeting - apart from the IJF stall the shopping is very high end .

Interesting that Cheltenham launching their membership offer much earlier than usual this year . Apparently capping the number of members and introducing free racecards . I see no mention of this seat for a season stuff either . Fingers crossed they have scrapped the divisive nonsense.

What is the evidence for this ? She seemed very keen to get back this year after her injury .

Fell !

Watching this again baffled they did not go on with Solness ? Also as eyes were drawn to Libberty Hunter’s fall I did not notice what a bad mistake Captain Guinness made at the third last - the old boy might have been a good bit closer otherwise. DOK gave Quilixios mixed messages coming to the...

I have been every day since the 2002 GC day . I thought this year was miles better than last year . Highlights Bob and Rachael’s double The thriller of an Arkle Golden Ace The New Lion Marine Nationale Stumptown ( game as they come) Caldwell Potter Kargese Wodhooh Downers The CH falls...
