Please replace Bud Fox with Baron Noir (Alan King) as the dark horse for Grey 1. Many thanks

Bud Fox is not eligible as a dark horse, I'm afraid, because he's on your list, jj.

I looked into this about 15 years ago. At that time you could expect horses to add about ten points on average to their RPR when going into a maiden hurdle. There are some caveats, however. First, it’s much less likely to happen if the bumper RPR is already very decent, say 110 plus. Second...

Will the handicapper drop the horse a stone now? If so, paying the fine would turn out to be a much cheaper way of dropping down the handicap than sending the horse out for several more runs.

David Byrne’s American Utopia tour in 2018 was brilliant. There were no wires or cables, the musicians and singers all wore the same suits and danced and moved around the stage in choreographed formations. The music mainly consisted of fresh versions of his best stuff. By the way the tour had...

I thought Colin Keane made an error with Blue Bolt by taking on the tigerish Fallen Angel too soon and giving her the opportunity to fight back.

Today’s race was not too discouraging. She ran on well when it was all too late, giving the impression that she needs further. She had had a hard race on debut, and possibly because she remembered that, she got quite stirred up leaving the parade ring today. But Áine O’Connor got her to relax...

Thanks guys. Hoping for some place money maybe.

Sounds like a plan, especially that last part.

Sorry for your loss, Danny. I doubt I’ll be opposing Minnie Hauk.

I’d be inclined to do your breakfast, liquid or otherwise, before getting to Pte d’Auteuil. There are some venues there but not many.

I think that by definition any tourist you might meet in Hertfordshire would have to be naive.

A €600k handicap on the flat, one of the richest in Europe I believe, if not the richest, and only two entries from GB and none from further afield. It’s hard to understand.

I don’t see why

Brave Inca’s emotional comeback win in the 2010 Irish Champion Hurdle at the age of 11 was the highlight of the forum’s first GWID (Great Weekend In Dublin). One of Inca’s owners, Oran Crean, used to be a member here, Cantoris, and he had played a big part in organising that weekend. It made for...

“There are going to be some ructions now, I can tell you”. An accurate prediction there from Graham Goode

More the Shakespearean sense, Eddie. Your incredible memory is correct that Denman won that day, but it was the Berkshire Novice Chase that he won, by 12 lengths at odds of 2/11.

I think I know the lady you are referring to, Quix.

My one and only time to visit Towcester was almost 19 years ago, in November 2006. I was there to see the debut of the first horse I ever had a share in. I was recruited to the syndicate through this forum, by the late and much missed Brian Hartigan, or Lord H as he was known in these parts...
