Oh to be a horse - what horrible conditions. Alsakib on Thursday was weak in the market, but raced prominently and looked quite threatening until the last couple of furlongs when he went out like a light. At first glance he didn’t get the extra distance, but the conditions may have had a bit to...

So do I, but after all this chat it’s becoming almost a certainty that he’ll run and win doing cartwheels :D

Who knows. My money would be on the new hurdles, but they got some in for him to school over. He appears to be ok at home, but at race pace and in the race hurly burly it’s a different question. I said he was done after last time and I’d have retired him then, albeit £signs must still flicker...

Such a shame, he’s the best I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t want to see him on the flat - it’d be like seeing Lionel Messi turning out for Goring&Streatley, interesting but wholly undignified. He always flirted with danger and there was generally a “suck in the breath” type moment over the earlier...

Maybe. Well if you don’t get a reply you could try it.

If you go to my blog, does your logo appear in the “thread title” line at the top?

Is there not a “thread title” line at the top? Must have been something easy if I could do it :D

Echo - missed that, sorry infrared

:) Good to see nonannyimfine and yo working well. Nice ones, guys.

RP analysis: Alsakib, a 1m6f Group 3 winner on the flat, promised to be suited by this step up in trip after an encouraging hurdling debut but was well beaten. He will be worth another chance and should be of interest when eligible for handicaps.

MisterB, I think I speak for the vast majority on here in thanking you for keeping TH going and for your time freely given. Without Colin it seemed that all would be lost, but you have kept the ship running sweetly. Your effort in doing so is very much appreciated.

Aye, market was weak which was off putting, but he raced prominently enough until going out like a light in the last couple of furlongs. Maybe didn’t stay the extra distance after all. I’ll keep him in the notebook, but definitely just for watching unless the market shouts.

Thanks for reminding us that you’ve put up some winners, Ian, as well as raking in a few quid in the past. As if we’d ever forget :)

It’s woefully thin gruel at the moment, but there is one of interest that again is more of a watch than a bet. Catterick 1:17: Alsakib won a Group3 on the flat at York eighteen months ago and continued to contest Class1 races over the last flat season, albeit a bit disappointing. 100,000gns...

I agree, desert, Slim is an edgy character, but you can’t go round calling a fellow member a c*** and not expect some repercussions.

It’s now 36 days and 40 runners. What an earth has happened?

Poor representation - about ninety words too long. :D

Hi - will there ever be racing again in your back garden do you think?

Good would be nice, true good/soft would be ok (he ran up to his best on that at Kempton) and coming to the boil nicely if his last run at Ascot is anything to go by. He made a few jumping errors there and the one two out probably stopped him finishing a bit closer. Given the way he ran I”d...
