Hi FTF - I've edited my 3:40 selection. Many thanks for the info, and thank you for your efforts in running the compo.

Perfect reasoning; in spherical objects deep, each-way, with the remaining £3.48 in my PP account. Many thanks.

I must have been dogging school, because Grundy was the first Derby I recall watching live, too!

Many thanks, Treff and Barnes. Bit more stake money for tomorrow.

Nice one, Slim. Welcome back.

Many thanks, Ian. I do follow you in on the big races.

I saw Sprinter Sacre run and win on four separate occasions; twice at Cheltenham. Nothing to speak of on the flat, though.

Just watched the clip, Brigust - thank you. Absolutely fascinating watch. If you ever wanted a horse’s biggest fan to tell the story of why their horse was the greatest of all time, I’d have you in my corner every day of the week! Yes, you’ve convinced me: Brigadier Gerard has been badly...

And you must have been devastated when your boy lost his unbeaten record! To a horse, now you suspect, was artificially encouraged to run faster.

Fantastic research! I love this stuff. You’ve put the hours in, because you’re obsessed, man! Fifty-three years ago? So what? You were THERE! Thank you so much, Brigust.

Fascinating stuff, Brigust. So, Brigadier Gerard wasn’t got at, but Roberto could have been nobbled in a different way? As a standalone performance, it does seem incredible - even now! No wonder Timeform were scared to “rate” it. I know these horses would never have met, but that’s hardly the...

I also came across this, Brigust - I hope you don’t mind me sharing: https://brigadiergerardandme.co.uk/ It gives readers on this forum a much clearer picture of what you are all about. I really like it! It’s actually a great honour that Brigadier Gerard’s stable lad/ groom is sharing his...

How do you view BG’s defeat to Roberto, Brigust? Some argue that it was the greatest single performance seen on a UK racecourse. There was nothing to suggest that the Brigadier had run anything other than to form, and he won his immediate races before and after, without any problems. I’d...

I haven’t watched the clip yet, but the comments are interesting from the YouTube commentators. I do love trenchant opinions, and you’ll rarely see them more trenchantly expressed than when discussing racing! People treating their favourite horses like their favourite football teams. I look...

Yes, and all very sad if confirmed. There’s an old saying, Grass, “one out, one in”. You’d love it back here, now the site owner has sorted out the functionality of the boards. It looks much better.

I actually watched the first two episodes of this at the London Film Festival last year. Fantastic cinema experience, as you can imagine, and the special treat is that the cast and crew come on stage and take questions from the compère.

I don’t mind the self-service tills, but I find there’s a difference between the functionality of the best - M&S and Waitrose - and the more shite versions. Sainsbury’s cannot cope with loose veg, but everything else is fine. I’m not for shopping in Aldi or Lidl, as that has never ended well in...

Nice one, Benn. I think we all will be now. Tanlic loved that horse.

Like many, I had a few run ins with the old rogue. But I totally respected his knowledge and love for racing. I really enjoyed Tanlic’s insight into the old days - he was a proper “I was there” historian. Great stories about Arkle, and he was convinced that Flyingbolt would never have beaten...
