Duh! completely forgot this. And I did mean to watch it too. Pleased he won though. I saw him win at Chadds but it was at Larkhill that he impressed me. He was set for second coming over the second last but really got stuck into his mount and got a great response. OK the fav came down at the...

He's been mightily tried the last twice since his good win at Cheltenham (which I think I did some major celebrating afterwards having flagged him on here?) in a Listed Race followed by a G3. I see he is in both the Supreme and Turners Novice so he gets a step up in trip there. He's currently on...

Great to see you on Sunday, Derek and pleased you took up my suggestion! Looking forward to your posts.

Thanks Derek - and welcome aboard!

Please let's consider that he was at times overstepping acceptable behaviour on here and therefore a form of reprimand was needed.

Thanks for the spot. I will watch him. He's still very much a novice but I think has great potential.

Woohoo! Cracking run there! :cheerleader: Considering he's been off since November I am properly chuffed with that! And he went via the M25 on the way round so I didn't think he looked off. But that was a big improvement and we should pick up a race with him.

All to do with office based error. The Planner didn't go out for proofing so there are some bad errors in there and the office doesn't seem to be picking them up in time.

Cracking day's racing at Larkhill yesterday with big fields (58 runners in total) I really do love Larkhill. It is an exceptional place for a course with so much space. Big crowd too for a January and loads of trade stands. Plus it was the Royal Artillery meeting so a good number of soldiers...

Yes it will be interesting to see how he copes with the softest ground he has run on so far. Personally I feel that his action would prefer a quicker surface. He's drifting in the betting which I thought would happen due to the other yard runner. Plus oddly on the email I got, they tipped the...

I got a message from a friend on Friday who was staying over at Ascot and was sitting in a pub there having a drink with Paul Townend. He said "if you don't fancy Il Etait Temps tomorrow I can easily buy him a few too many drinks!" I watched the racing the next day and said "Goodness! You...

Great stuff! I missed the opportunity of putting up a post on the hunter chase last Thursday due to the downtime and managed to fire in a nice winner (took 20s and it came in to 8s) in Java Point. He'd won at Ludlow before (2 or 3 times) and I find it's a course that some horses really love...

Had a long conversation with Danny yesterday. He's fine and busy at work - huge respect for what he does as it's not for the faint hearted looking at the videos he sent me! Think he just wanted a break and a reset and that's sometimes that's all that's needed. Even the forum itself needed a...

Ah he ran well. Just bumped into one who had very good bumper form. Plus Wolfie really needs further and it was pretty dire after the rain there (I know that sounds contradictory because you expect his stamina to come into play but he's a good moving horse - mum is by Presenting which is a good...

James gave him a great ride

Great ride by James Bowen, deputising last minute but hope IET is ok

Wolf Walker is out again at Wincanton tomorrow in the 1.17. It's not as strong I think as the last two races he has contested with the Greatrex horse being the main danger and also former Larkhill point winner (Wolfie also won 3 at Larkhill) Sinchi Roca in there (he's yet to jump a hurdle in...

He looks like he's big on a lot of things. Actually every single fall on a racecourse is looked at by the Welfare dept at the BHA which is headed by former trainer James Given. Had a long chat with him a few years ago about old horses running after we had a 17yo drop dead after one circuit in...

Very well put Chaumi. I have thought a lot about Saturday's events and I was upset by both. Even if we haven't ever met the animals in question it can still affect us. I had actually met Kalif when I visited the yard and he really was a sweet boy. I was in two minds as to switching the TV off...

Have to say if anyone is close enough to go then it's a great day out being with sponsors. You get incredibly well looked after and I enjoyed it hugely the day I went at Taunton.
