Hard to believe we are two days away from the season's premier jump racing festival and we don't have a dedicated thread. Shame on us. Anyways - a question to start us off - will JJ Slevin have first pick of the Munir/Soude horses trained by WPM or does he need to await Townend's preferences?

No.

I've always believed that Lecky Watson was the Darwin Nunez of novice hurdling - chaotic but talented. I was lucky enough to spend some time with his owner for dinner at the Queens (cf Grey) before he finished 5th in the AB last year, running another crazy race. I backed him that night at 50s...

Poor mite. Clearly it's 999

Aww, bless!

What the phuck has Rich Ricci got to do with anything??
