“ but let’s be honest: none of us have a notion what the true price is.” Absolutely! I love it when my horse goes shorter and I chase the price down adding as I go. That’s not the way is it - getting worse and worse “value”? And I hate it when my horse drifts, it’s supposedly becoming better...

Apart from Lulamba it was a poor day all round yesterday. 2:20: Nardaran made a slightly awkward jump at the second and fell away quickly to be pulled up - hope there’s nothing amiss. Gold For Alec jumped really well again, but that’s about all he did and it looked as though Class 2 was a bit...

I know, I know. I ought to agree with you, but I can’t. Comparisons are always difficult (if not odious), but in his pomp Constitution Hill was the best I have seen. I simply can’t bring myself to desert him until he proves unequivocally that he’s gone. Falling was obviously a great shock to...

Nice. What it hasn’t told us is if he’s learned to handle the new hurdles with their unforgiving “bar” tops. He always took chances enough with the old “brush” tops and although he was devastatingly quick over them he was always teetering on the edge of disaster. If he has learned he won’t be as...

Since it’s pretty difficult to see your horse at all stages of the race, I think it’s quite good for confirming (or casting doubt) on what you think you’ve seen.

And now the end is near and I face the final furlong My friends I’ll say it clear and state my case of which I’m certain I’ve run a race that’s full Jumped each and every hurdle And more, much more than this I’ll win it my way

It was a good run from Be Aware, but he couldn’t cope with the winner. French Ship a non-runner. Three notebooks at Plumpton today, but two of them in the same race unfortunately. 2:20: Nardaran - first went in the notebook after an impressive win here st Plumpton and went up eight pounds for...

Glad you had a great day - I’m with you in spirit tomorrow. Have another good one.

You’re working well, uncle.

Wasn’t worth backing Jonbon in the end, just as well. Couple of notebooks at Cheltenham. Racing goes ahead after the rain, but the heavy going makes it a bit of a minefield. 1:45: Be Aware - hugely competitive race with several high lass chase debutants as well as a well thought of Irish...

Worth more than a spoonful, Danny. Very nice, sir

Aye, looked dead and gone.

Well, that turned out a good day. Tanking Along and Roe And Co both won very nicely, as did Japetus who finished very strongly and winning despite pretty poor jumping (not fluent at last, either). Plenty more to come there if he gets his jumping sorted. No notebooks today, but can I resist...

The jumping of Joyeuse was adequate, but a bit cumbersome and slowish getting away. An expensive school, albeit not for the full Monty. 11:50 Sedgefield Tanking Along - nudged up a couple of pounds for last time (hardly conducive to try hard to be second) should cope with that ok - 21/10 was a...

Only in my dreams.

Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! I wish I’d never poked my nose in. Of course I like to win, but my greater satisfaction comes because it’s ME doing the winning. Reminds me of my other passion - birdwatching. My shelves groaned with identification guides as I struggled to name what I was seeing. Over...

I’ve been having a play - not interested in the prediction side of things, since it spoils all the run. The post race analyses are promising though, but Sim’s warning is very apposite . I asked how Count Of Vendome had jumped the last today. Told me he cleared it well, but faded on the run in...

I know I’m probably miles behind the pace, but I’ve just asked ChatGPT to analyse a horse race for me. “Sure” it said “put up a photo of the race card”. I did that and it came back in seconds with reams of analysis and comment and a final conclusion for a safe bet, a value bet and a risky bet...

:ROFLMAO: Well, I tapped “speak” and listened to your dulcet tones as well.

Really like that, Danny.
