Because I never actually went, Danny. 😂 Two wasted tickets unfortunately mate. I was due to my take my lovely mum who loves her racing, is a proper geordie aswell, but her knee had become very swollen, and with all the forecast rain, (that never properly materialised until much later in the...

A selection for tomorrow. Lingfield 2:00 Ocean Heights could be the one. Firstly, I find it interesting he runs with no tongue tie or headgear which he's worn previously. Why this is the case, I don't know, but I'm hoping they might have found the key to him for want of a better expression. He...

I said last season he was regressing for want of a better word. That said, no prize for stating what a good horse he was at one time. So what do connections do now? His record at right handed tracks, notably Sandown and Kempton is pretty darn good, and he's never fallen going right handed...

I'm loathed to disagree with you, with the form that you're in, Ian. I think Slurricane is very interesting. He was 7 lengths or thereabouts behind the favourite at Cheltenham and my gosh is he weighted to reverse that form. How much better off is he, about a stone? Slurricane hung right handed...

I've a feeling he's more than enough cash not to need to be on any gravy train, Luke. He's surely not one of the skint mob anyway... I'd like to think he's doing because he loves it.

Josh Apiafi started the Racing Media Academy, which is a noble cause, trying to get under represented groups in to the Racing Media. I met his brother Lee down at Doncaster Racecourse earlier this year when having my interview for this scheme. They seem like nice people. I've no idea about ATR...

I'm happy to swap usernames with you after the stunt you've pulled today, Ian. 👍

I reckon it's a wheelbarra job, Luke. Great to see.

I can confirm connections have taken my advice, and Novelista has been gelded. Watch the space next season!

I should probably be backing Hunter Legend after I was on him for the PP, and said afterwards he'd be better over a slightly longer trip. I just worry if two weeks is a long enough time to recover from that day, where I think he had a hard race. I like Eyed aswell and there's been a fair few...

Newbury 1.50 King Of Kingsfield has ran several stinkers at Cheltenham, so I'm content to put a line through the last days performance. Apart from there, he's not done a lot wrong over fences, especially with the tongue tie applied, and looks like a horse who might even appreciate stepping up...

No Ordinary Joe worth a saver in the Greatwood tomorrow. He acts on soft ground and has the back form both at Cheltenham and in this race.

Love it! I wish I was there. Danny's got the look of a Dappa Don about him. If there's any forum members, perhaps up North going to the Fighting Fifth, please let me know.

Aye. I thought he was getting pulled up, so an eye catching run to finish where he did. He's one for another day, but well done Danny and Kirsty, I'm extremely pleased for them.

Well done, Ian. 👍Well reasoned aswell, it's not like you just picked a nice name either.

Oh f%*&, I thought this was the Cheltenham thread. Sorry

Let's hope the clerk doesn't go on strike before then. 'Up my pay 20 percent or I won't get out of bed, let alone conduct an inspection', said the honourable clerk. The wet liberal tree hugging middle classes, they're more militant in the U. K these days than a seagull keen on pinching your...

Ballybreeze declared for Sunday. I'm hoping he will do the business. One of my old trackers the Dr TJ Eckleburg has also been declared in this race and might appreciate the ground, but Ballybreeze for me, all day long.

I'm still strongly considering backing Hunter Legend in what looks a pretty open renewal. He's a French bred and the grandsire Dom Alco's progeny apparantly show a strong preference for soft and heavy ground which we could well see on Saturday. I know he's low in the ratings and more often...

It's on ITV 3, (Channel 10 on freeview), as I type. If you don't know, get to know... Or in Ian's case, if you detest life to such an extent, that you can't actually bring yourself to own a television, then jolly well get one quick. 👌
