Why not, I should say? There's nothing wrong with picking up a 150k prize on the way to bigger things. Yes, we don't know how Lecky will measure up against the older stayers but, whichever way you look at it, the Browns is a top class staying race. With that in mind, stepping into a handicap...

Why?

They could well have been protecting the mark. That 2nd to Lecky Watson was a right good show . It augured well for the future and he's bred to stay, isn't he. It's his first handicap and perhaps they knew the time of day after the Browns when he was allotted the 150. I think they do know what...

Yup. Going to the last, even though FTF came to challenge, it seemed clear that GW had not been asked to fully commit at that stage. Sure enough, he had enough in reserve. I do think that when a horse is asked to make up so much ground just to be able to challenge, it has an effect on any final...

The ground went against him here. Although described as good, there was too much juice in it for this fellow, I think. Didn't really travel within himself did he. Well, didn't frame but no complaints; he looks to me like a proper stayer who wants soft ground. I'll be looking out for any type of...

He's one of mine in the comp but I fear he made need softer ground. Good luck whatever. :thumbsup:

If you can't enjoy the racing today, you need to find another sport; there are two great meetings and competitive racing for all tastes, hurdles or chases. As you'll know by now, chasing is my preference and I'm excited to see what transpires at Haydock, Ascot and, indeed, Huntingdon. If I was...

And, like the beer: crap.

It's back in order.:rolleyes:

How come? Anyone else had this?

In celebration of the worst of British brewing, I give you Double Diamond: Diamond Days 1.45 Ling 4/1 Star Of Diamonds 2.45 Ling 4/1 2x win singles Ew Double Happy drinking.

And a NR, as I thought.

I did think that but I also thought that he's that decent they may go to Kempton for the Wayward Lad. I'm surprised that they're running him here, to be honest, and am still expecting him to be declared a nr. If they do prep him for a festival handicap by running him down the field, he'd be...

Yes, I know Henderson has the 1/3 hotpot Lulamba (2.00 Exeter) but I was super impressed by Stencil's losing run at Cheltenham and if Stencil is not a nr, he'll be the Ew for me at 22/1.

Profit though and a fantastic run for one having only his second run over fences.. As I thought, Livin On Luco was a big danger.

Good morning. It was just about a year ago that I broached the subject of Venetia Williams, predicting that the stable would be starting to bang in the winners and, lo, she gave us Fontaines Collonges on the 21st November. There have been many comments recently on the same subject: 'When will...

Not sure he was jumping out of the ground. He'll improve with quicker going, I'd say.

Great shout Ian, my man. Cracking

Hiya. Yes, if I dare say I fancy anything, I'd be fancying Ballycamus more than Company Sergeant. After all, the PP is a fierce old race. Thanks for the input. (y)

Morning all! (he said, mimicking the tone of Jack Warner). Well, here in Norwich it rained yesterday form dawn until well into the night and we need a torch during the hours of 'daylight', it's so grim. Still, if sems to go well enough for National Hunt racing and after the long dry periods we...
