Oh - just one thing. Are you able to pin the forum competition threads?

Has Danny warned you that I WILL be doing most of the talking? :cheerleader:Apologies...in advance!

I, for one, think the forum is great. The new layout and "twiddly bits" took me a while to get used to but I really enjoy it. I used "new posts" and "latest activity" to see what's new or look at my notifications. Sometimes I miss things but I can live with that. And the ignore button is a...

I shall indeed be there on the Saturday and it's always nice to meet fellow forumites. Doing a double header that weekend with Badbury Rings on the Sunday....😮‍💨

I suspect if trainers regularly withdraw their horses with the same reasons they will be asked to explain their actions. It's all to do with being able to self-certify these days. How do you prove the horse didn't eat up that morning? I doubt they are in bed with the bookies - if they are and...

Thanks for that info - can you remind me next year or I will have forgotten and still be moaning! :LOL:

River of Stars it seems ran well for my little ew investment. Didn't watch it live but annoyed to see Betfair wankers return 12-1 even though I know I clicked SP....:mad: and Bet365 (my other account) were generous enough to not give out 4 places - utter wankers! Did they actually look to see...

Yes I just read that. Slightly odd? I attended a point to point seminar a couple of weeks ago and part of it was a Veterinary section by Graham Potts who is the BHA vet. He discussed post-race heat stress and how to deal with it. Invariably it happens when there is a rapid change in...

So I have watched the post-race briefings. Sean Bowen felt something wasn't right after a circuit. He expected him to pick up and he was flat. I think he did the right thing by easing him and hopefully they will pick something up in a post race scope and/or blood test. You only have to look at...

That's a spectacular entry! :cheerleader:

Well that was pants!! Looked good in the paddock (they obviously fancied the Gordon horse) but Jamada dropped away very tamely and Bowen made little movement on him. Maybe he's heard a noise...🤷‍♀️ The ex has just informed me that it had rained a lot at the track? Maybe just not happy on the...

Quick glance through and this is one that caught my eye too.

Very sad postscript to the Breeder's Cup: https://www.racingpost.com/news/festivals/breeders-cup/top-sprinter-shes-quality-dies-after-suffering-injury-at-breeders-cup-a5GKh4m1jja6/ There's always risk in racing but having shipped all the way out there with hopes and dreams, it is devastating...

Much better explained!! Didn't know that a Norton was also a Citation.

I'll buy me another lottery ticket then...

I imagine a lugging bit stops him lugging (hanging)? I have found this for you as I hadn't heard of a Norton bit but this video explains racing bits nicely: A cross noseband (sometimes a Grakle named after the horse it was invented for) is like a figure of eight noseband that has the effect...

I think I would have needed a greater outlay than my three hairs though!

That's great - nice to see some new members have signed up too!

It's been a while since I trained and obviously I owned some of them - when they won I probably embarassed myself rather a lot by the amount of screaming I did... :ROFLMAO: But hopefully this will be a bit of fun anyway.

Thanks Faye. That looks like a pretty healthy entry?
