Not such a no-brainer if you live overseas unfortunately. I'm not able to subscribe to gambling sites so if anyone has any alternatives come 1st August please let me know. I assume people on this forum know what is available much better than I do - would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Terrible news - what he did in 2006 was remarkable. A very sad way to go and very disappointing that Clifford Baker wasn't told earlier

And now Ladbrokes and Corals may be merging http://www.racingpost.com/news/live.sd?event_id=9528724&category=0 - ironic timing! I hope the forum is allowed to be influential as it is definitely needed. Not so pleased about the appointment of Simon Rowlands as Chairman; he is a little too sure...

Couldn't agree more. The one that fascinates me is Aloft in the last over 2 miles. He has had 4 full brothers and 4 half-brothers race and not a single one has won over further than 7.5 furlongs and the longest distance any of them has even tackled is 10 furlongs. Classy horse and Moore and...

I feel the same about Free Eagle so that's two of us leaving racing! :) Difficult to see past Ivawood in the Jersey but Fahdayyil will be suited by the 7 furlongs. Was very impressed by Easton Angel at Beverly but low draw could be an issue; at the prices might side with Kurland. I am hoping...

We think the Cheltenham race took more out of him than we thought and/or he is just over the top. He ran flat at both Punchestown and tonight. His jumping was poor and he was never really travelling; the playing about at the start should be getting better (but isn't) so we need to address that...

Bay of Freedom is having his first hurdle race in the 5.40 at Down Royal tomorrow; Luke Dempsey rides with his valuable 5lb allowance. We're 2nd favourite in most lists behind New World who ran well first time over hurdles and will probably benefit from the better ground. Like us he may well...

Based on pedigree he will really struggle over the 1m 4f but he was impressive last night ridden much more aggressively than in the Derby. He won't be ridden like that at Belmont and Frosted (at least) must have a decent chance of reversing Derby form; that being said he has a touch of class and...

Won't lose : Newsworthy 7.45 Strong bet : Pepparpot 3.40 E/W : Abolitionist 6.05 Yankee : Pires 4.15

and the same can be said of you Colm; a true pleasure to meet you! As regards BOF there are no excuses; he just isn't quick enough over 2 miles at this level. He wasn't disgraced in either Grade I and he has given me enormous enjoyment so far. His form in bumpers has been a great, and...

Call me crazy: Won't Lose: Gerdago Strong Bet Ericht E/W Bay of Freedom Yankee Kylestyle

I am genuinely bemused! Bay of Freedom looks magnificent and has improved since Cheltenham. Considering he met with much more trouble than any of the Mullin's horses there (and we beat them all anyway) I can't understand how they can be 6/1, 14/1 16/1 and 33/1 when BOF is 50's. The best form...

Just got back from the yard - he was popped over 6 hurdles this morning; cautiously optimistic I would say. Pleased you have your money on already Marble - the owners like to provide tangible support!

Won't Lose: Mallowney 5.30 Strong Bet: Apache Stronghold 6.40 E/W: Morga 4.55 Yankee: Serious Times 3.40 Thanks

For anyone interested in the Champion Bumper I previewed the race, with horse by horse comments, on the website http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/punchestown-bumper I do think that Bay of Freedom will run extremely well but, so as not to jinx him, have gone with Supasundae to win.

That would be ideal - I suspect Peter would be reluctant to run him from out of the handicap but, if that were the option, it might depend on whether David Mullins was available. He would certainly like the (likely) better ground.

All of the handicaps are 24 hours Marble. I wouldn't be surprised if 16 came out to give him a run. He's also entered in the first race on Thursday; I haven't spoken to Peter about him but the horses are in good form and he would be very interesting in the 0-150 In case anyone is interested...

We've decided to let Bay of Freedom take his chance in the Champion Bumper at Punchestown. Scared of the four year-olds with the (very generous) weight allowance but he worked better than ever yesterday so we are very hopeful of a good run. A number of horses are doubly entered so the field...

It seemed to work well and most trainers and jockeys quoted were in support of the changes. Not sure what all of this means for the future: would they still run right-handed on the flat if they move to left-handed over jumps? Would the course be safe enough to run left-handed on the flat? If...

Yes they do
