Festive cheer to all. 🧑‍🎄 🌲 etc.

WPM operating at a less than 10% strike rate - is this any cause for concern? He’s usually operating at a comfortable 20-30% strike rate.

Get her to Cheltenham in March, and she is guaranteed to run her race. Unbeaten at Cheltenham in March. Hidden in plain sight, I tell ya!

Golden Ace is placing in the 2026 CH. Not top notch, by any means, but this year’s opponents aren’t either.

Great story - thanks, Quixall.

Great write-up - thank you.

Oxford has offered a genuine apology for his classless behaviour. As Jinny says, we’ve had worse kerfuffles and survived. I thank Slim and all those who have the mental fortitude to offer up tips on this forum. There are other great threads here, but this thread hands out the most regular joy.

I’m going to the pub too, to consider a few things. I won’t be drawing stumps on two pints, however. Leaving about 2:30.

Target certain races too. The Schweppes and Champion Hurdle have a habit of throwing up improving outsiders or course specialists. Breeding is the most important determinant on whether a horse might place in The Derby or The Oaks - there’s always value in the outsiders. Often horses don’t...

Brilliant, Danny - thank you. Ultimately, as much as we admire the likes of Slim and Ian, we know they have - with very few exceptions - total contempt for their fellow man. But they are happy with that position, and can manage on their own, thank you very much. The rest of us take a...

Yes, I like you two and your attitudes to life. I’m your bang average corporate, public service wallah, who spent 41 years and one week of his life providing an anchor at home, so that I could indulge a bit of betting and drinking for myself. Piss easy. But I’ve always admired from afar, those...

I took the question at face value, so answered it appropriately, I think. I’ve been “educated” this evening, however.

80 winners at Cheltenham, including the 2025 Gold Cup winner. On top of: 6 CH winners; another GC winner; and 3 GN winners. Where do you want me to stop? Bloke is a total legend, and great for the sport. What’s the beef?

And here’s the thing, Ian. I bet Twig at 16/1 yesterday, fully expecting the odds to contract today, and of course the beast went out to 25/1 this morning! So, I did the right thing by going in this morning - a Saturday tip from yourself is gold, pal. 😀 Many thanks again.

You are an effin genius, Mr Davies. Thank you so much again!

I love this site. There’s four of you discussing one horse, all before 8 in the morning!

I had a Gary Moore double up today, after his first horse won; so I’m in for an EW Moore trixie tomorrow - this includes Goshen! The trainer often excels at this meeting.

We should still be no part of THAT discussion. Just ignore the noise.

The horse should be retired, why are we even debating this? That poor horse owes US nothing, but we are still here debating his next race and his next jockey. How many more times can that great horse fall at a hurdle, without fatally injuring himself? I know I will be devastated if that...

Klassical Dream, 2019 Supreme Winner, was another one that held his head very low.
