You're not wrong there - Chads is prime red trouser land! There will be a lot of braying going on behind car boots. We're not like that down here in the West Country so much - you can drive a tractor into my town, park up on the double yellow lines and pop into the Co-op in a pair of wellies...

Quietly liking Just A Rose at Taunton 2.35. She won a point nicely for Tom Ellis and then went for a bit of money to Paul Nicholls. She absolutely pissed in at Taunton on her yard debut and then went to the Festival where she ran flat. She's had a wind op and I think is very unexposed.

Jonjo's team are always about to turn the corner, which they do..and then they veer off to the right, and then left and then plough straight through the wide blue yonder as they are so effing confused as to whether they are on or off on any one day.

That's incredible Gordon! You really are an inspiration in what you have achieved - a comment shared recently to me by Taunton Racecourse.

It was a typo!! I had seen he was second and I only got paid for second too. Spoke to the owner who is rightly over the moon! The winner cost £190k and is their Supreme Novice horse this season who they rate very highly - he'd also had a run over hurdles whereas Wolfie hadn't. Plus he was...

I'm on £175 with M&S - low mileage and a good driving record. Plus car kept in a "locked" barn overnight. It went up this year for the first time in about 4 from £150. That's fully comp too. I have a 21yo Saab 93 convertible.

I'm a bit blown away by how well he looks to have won! Sadly the Betfair video was not working so I was unable to watch it. Hopefully it will rectify itself so I can watch a replay on ATR. I am absolutely thrilled for them. One of the owners gave me the mare I have (Parstara, dam of Springtime...

No, he won three at Larkhill before the Cheltenham race and prior to that he had three point runs in Ireland. Back after a week off with a nasty lurgy plus I just needed a switch off.

The lovely Wolf Walker who is owned by a good friend, runs at Hereford in the first tomorrow. He won his first three points for Chris Barber so nicely season before last and then went to Cheltenham for a Hunter Chase but it rained and the ground was dire. Biddick looked after him that day but he...

Will you be joining us too, Troods? I can add to the picnic.... :cheerleader:

And we can quite happily trot out stories of happiness and contentment when it is anything but. The internet is a funny place where people can hide behind the real them. I know several people who are brash and confident online but in real life are anything but.

Nice. Welcome to TH, Nigel.

I didn't realise until after the race

Damn my Tutti bet didn't take 😭

I agree

They are all white now including I notice in Ireland. They used to be orange but the research showed that white was more visible for horses than orange so they all got changed. Plus hurdles are now filled with plastic rather than birch and I wonder if they are less forgiving too.

I actually didn't have a bet but I am so happy for Jezza. She is a diamond of a mare for a little yard up on Exmoor and the girl that looks after her, Emily is such a sweetie. On another note, discussion here is about the actual hurdles. Are these plastic filled hurdles with a bright white bar...

Gowwan Goldie!!!! Slag her all you like but she at least jumps the ruddy hurdles!!

At least he's up. Retirement 100% I'm convinced he has an eyesight issue.

Can we all just get back to the topic and stop with banter/insults or whatever. You are grown adult men. Behave like them!
