Welcome to the forum, BG - hope you enjoy it on here. Lots of friendly banter and the occasional knowledgeable post too!

Her days of attending Chelters are long gone - besides she'd cramp my style and out talk all of us put together! Anyway - back on topic............. So my Just a Rose hasn't been declared but No Drama This End has so he's a pick for me. Haven't checked prices but with Cobden waxing lyrical...

I made my ex do that before he met my mother.....😂 didn't work...she still hated him

whereas mine is crisp, clipped Cheltenham enunciation - like the old BBC broadcasts in the 1950s........:LOL: No I promise I'm not quite that bad :)

I'm going to be listening to those dulcet tones on Saturday - mind you he's going to have to put up with mine and he might be in for a shock...... :ROFLMAO:

I was trying to get a friend to buy Cleatus Poolaw to go pointing at the end of last season. He didn't take me up on the suggestion. Shame.

Brian Rouse has sadly passed away at the age of 85. Best known for being the rider of my beloved Stannera who famously won two at Royal Ascot in the same year firstly in the Prince of Wales Stakes where she bettered Grundy's course record and later in the week when she won the Hardwicke Stakes...

Oh that's a big shame

Yeah I stuck him in Jumpers to Note last season so I am glad they like him too! Bit annoyed after all that, I forgot to put him in my Ten to Follow although I did stick him in the List.

I actually like the guy - he rode a horse for me once and finished second on her at Newton Abbot. He gushed then - I think he's just a very gushy person. But he was very complimentary about her so obviously got brownie points.

Know what I mean.....

Another but this is on Sunday in the first (1.15) Soldier Reeves - another Skelton inmate. I flagged it up here after I went to Newton Abbot and it was beaten in the bumper. It totally shouldn't have been as 'Arry anchored it out the back but got zero run up the short straight and ended up...

I'll just keep chatting to myself then.... :rolleyes: 😁 (obviously when the decs are made you'll all pile in...) Couple I have spotted so far in the fact that they are both ex-pointers who'd had one nice win under Rules but then went to the Festival and it was probably a bit soon for them so...

I think Fitzy is always going to gush about the horse. I'm sure his work is as good as before but I doubt I will ever watch him run again simply as I don't want to watch to see if he does the same again. He will have been schooled and schooled and schooled again but I think he's been lucky the...

Just a little to add on Panic Attack - SHE is a mare (hence winning a Mares hurdle at Cheltenham which was a good performance). She's also obviously had a leg problem as she has a gap of 649 days before moving yards to Dan Skelton's. Normally I avoid those who have had problems but if you are...

Because I couldn't find a thread (which was a surprise) unless I am being dim... Anyone else fancy anything? I am drawn towards Hamsiyann in the Paddy Power International Hurdle on the Saturday (3.30) Won this last year easily (2-1fav) Hasn't won since Went to Aintree and got badly hampered...

A good article I thought: https://www.racingpost.com/news/britain/meet-the-ambitious-conditional-rider-who-has-followed-in-tony-mccoys-famous-footsteps-aOqPW2Y7XEfK/ I realised I flagged Rian up this time last year although I had spotted him the season before when I got one of those "Hello"...

Goodness that's awful news. Poor girl - please pass on my best wishes too.

Just checked the Met office forecast which theoretically should be the most accurate. There's a bit of rain but not huge amounts until Friday - possibly. Bearing in mind the woeful fields due to ground on the firmer side, I think the ground should be find on Saturday - prob good to soft at the...

Based on my theory of Skelton keeping in the top weight (which hasn't) I completely ignored Panic Attack currently only 7s (God I can't half be blonde at times!). But 'Arry has sided with this one with Tristan Durrell claiming 3lbs off the 10.13 that Riskintheground now has. Panic Attack now on...
