Be interesting to see how the course rides today. Nineteen races to be run on the ground before the Sprint Cup takes place so it could churn up a bit. However Friday/Saturday forecast shows no rain.

I live 23 miles from Haydock and the rain showers we had yesterday were of biblical proportions. I put up James's Delight yesterday as I recall Clive Cox stating it would be a much better horse on an easier surface just after it had won on debut. It beat Beauvatier (shorter in the market) on the...

It's throwing it down in Lancashire so I would be interested in James's Delight if he takes his chance.

Looks like Delacroix is getting ready for Christophe Soumillon.

Well done Ian - I didn't back Journalism as 11/10 is too short for me to play. One thing I have noticed is that when the American jockeys ride their mounts cold and it doesn't pay off their stock answer after is 'it didn’t give me the same feel' Bollocks it's just a good job there not riding for...

I would have thought that a horse that had won six of its last eight starts and it's two defeats were runner up to Sovereignty would have to be odds on. Tempted to put it on the will win thread

Journalism 11/10 currently on Skybet

You've still got it Ian no matter what people say - great shout!!!

Why is it each time I read something you have penned it reminds me of Irvine Welsh's novels. Cracking read!!!

I remember asking my late father many moons ago if he followed any racing tipsters and if he had ever considered subscribing to a tipping service. No effing way was his reply most racing tipsters don't know their arse from their elbow and as for paying for tips he said "Would you buy a jigsaw...

Unaccustomed as I am to backing horses that are running in the racing league I have just spoken to a friend whose horse ran behind: FIERCE 6:45 Suvvall He was impressed by this horse and looking into it's form it runs off 77 (last time out run off 78 beat a horse rated 87 by a length giving it 8...

Well done Reet nice one!!!

I hope he wins it too and his trophy is made up of the melted down memorabilia that his chum Frankie Dettori failed to hock. It could be delivered to him by another of his chums Oisin Murphy blindfolded driving a tank!!!!!!

Hackney dogs brings back great memories of times when all my friends who gambled would be in the bookies at 10am every Saturday morning without fail. I seem to recall that Watford dogs also ran at the same time and there was a coloured sheet with the dogs form on that everyone huddled around. I...

I seem to recall John Gosden on TV correcting one of the presenters stating the correct pronunciation was South Well as everyone knows the cathedral is pronounced that way. So you're in good company Ian.

How very exciting. Newcastle last week and this week the glories of Southwell. Decisions,Decisions. Do I tune in to watch the annoying ever smiling Alex Hammond and that Callum guy with the lisssssp? Think I'll stick to Masterchef at least you know for certain the two presenters are 'wrong-uns'

Well done Terry

I will be watching the race simply to see how Garden Oasis gets on. It's his 21st race at the course and I reckon they could saddle it up in the car park and let it find it's own way to the starting stalls!

Glad to see Mr Oldroyd made your list even though he drew a blank at York last week as did most of the northern trainers. However his three runners collectively were beaten less than a length and a half!!!!!

They both had trouble finding their tax returns though!!!
