I was under the impression that it was to fund help for victims of domestic violence? https://www.racingpost.com/news/britain/the-hunt-family-fund-nears-250000-after-december-gold-cup-participants-add-to-money-raised-in-charity-auctions-atzPi2T6mFuO/ It's just been rather oddly named, I suspect.

And he managed to call the race for Radio 5 Live.

Geez I switched on Fairyhouse to catch the bumper to see Babyburn a half sister to Ballyburn make her debut (she's a bit small and faded quickly so not over impressed atm) but the fav, Springtime Elegance was nice but she completely lost her backend about 2 furlongs out in what looked like a...

Did you pick your stick up too?

He's quite a leggy horse that I imagine takes a bit of balancing over a fence and to get that stride spot on. Wouldn't be every one's ride.

Interestingly she has very little online presence bar the obvious racing pages. No website for a start which is strange for a trainer starting off these days because surely you need to be capitalising on your successes? And marketing the cr*p out of them. So that does make me wonder - I sound...

This lady can train horses! Or is she a name on the licence for AP? :unsure: (happy to be informed!) I thought that her Winston Junior in the first was one to stick in the tracker for the Boodles.

My friend Nick Child is one of the commentators/broadcasters out in Hong Kong. No idea if he's calling these races but he's done so well for himself. A great commentator, he used to do lots of point to points in the South West combining this at weekends with his day job - which was looking after...

Of course we are overthinking - isn't that to be expected on here?

I backed this last time and he ran a nice race. As you say the price is plenty short enough but he's massively unexposed. Could be anything....just the sort I like ;) I'm also going back with Il Ridoto. He needs this quicker ground and he's back down on 141 which is the same mark he was on when...

I imagine they will have had a really good look round it. It did look bad when they came around after the Aintree fence but I guess it depends how the fences are situated as to whether they are in fill glare. I drove up my road this time yesterday and couldn't actually see the road. If anyone...

Thanks for heads up - Khaadem one of my cliff horses too!

I have a friend who I sometimes go racing with who absolutely insists on only backing long shots - "to get the value!" So he nearly always loses and then doesn't understand why I'm happy backing three or four winners at shortish prices but for me it's about the buzz not the profit. He recently...

Just not good enough in what I think was a pretty deep contest - the winner is exceptionally nice and has a huge chance in the Supreme off that plus he's big enough to go chasing.

Damn! Our Park Star looks like he's Hendo's latest star novice. THAT was very impressive - Altioresque for me and the field looked nice physically and on paper.

Our Boy Stan in the first at Chelters

I've commented on this in another thread (Trainer news)

Yes I saw this as Gordon sent it to me. Not a nice character as I alluded to earlier in this thread. I have first hand experience of him gesticulating at me and asking if I'd like to try out his huge c*ck as he grabbed it whilst standing next to the bookies at Larkhill. Strangely I declined...

I did a Trixie, the first of which won (Knock Off Sox) and the other two, one fell and the other, Just A Rose ran a Meh sort of race. Did I back the first one individually? Did I hell...!

I'd like to think that I would walk gracefully away to go and study the runners for the next in the paddock....
