And of course we don’t even know who will turn up on the day. As has been said, this year’s renewal might not take much winning, so it’s good to have a couple on your side a few months away, if that’s your thing. I’m staying loyal to last year’s underrated winner.

The NJH interview post-race was revealing. I really don’t think we will see CH jumping any obstacle now. The trainer said it was “unfair now”, for exactly that reason, Ian - he keeps falling. I think they might run him on the flat, just to assess his ability; but he certainly wouldn’t end his...

😀. Happy to help a friend in need - anytime, Ian!

Maybe a bottle with some bubbles too! Thanks, Luke.

£522.26 for a 15p combi tricast, to be exact, Danny! This guy has serious form with his tricasts!

Ian - I cannot thank you enough, mate. Fantastic judge!

Retire CH. Please just leave us with those fantastic memories between 2022-23.

And she won’t be 40/1 now!

Luckiest, for sure. I still think she’s ok for a place next March at big odds. She likes Cheltenham in the springtime, and there are doubts about those ahead of her in the betting.

I also think Golden Ace is a horse made for the spring. She’ll place next March at a big price.

Thank you, Ian. Lump on, forum!

Take care, mate - great to read your thoughts.

Had a 2-5 record in the past 14 days! Missed it, bastard.

Fantastic meltdown, Q! Oh, what it is to be a proper racing fan, who attends a race meeting to watch horses race against each other - and not always having a bet. Racing exists because of betting, because, quite frankly, it isn’t a spectacle for most sports fans. But it is genuinely great to...

Thanks for the info, Q. It’s great that there are enough older punters here, who can share those memories.

As a matter of interest Q, where was Teeside Park racecourse? Sad tale about young Michael Eddery.

Just noticed that 1976 GN winner, Rag Trade, ran in the same race.

I remember Tanlic mentioning the horse’s name, but I’m not sure what the actual attraction was about.

Attention is drawn to the field for 3:15 at Teeside, on this day in 1974. Horse second bottom of the weights.

I’m with you, Ian. He was an unbelievable novice and winner of a CH. But horses can lose it suddenly, either through injury, or anything else a human is never privy to. They just can’t tell you, can they? I’d love him to get it back, to win another CH. I’m also sure that won’t happen. But my...
