That’s disappointing, I was sure you were going to tell AC if he would tell you what a loser was.

Nice article. Just the bare bones of the matter and not an ounce of flesh left on them.

Wow! I’ve just got back from the dentist and missed the conversation as it went along. All very deep and intriguing. As I look back would I change things? Some of the bad, maybe, but then the good might not have followed so better rest content. What I know, for sure, is that I enjoy the company...

Lulamba (158P from 146P) Il Etait Temps (174 from 172)

“I can find no evidence that any other person received the cash of £500,000 and find accordingly that it was received by Mr McManus.” On the face of it that seems rather a strange judgement. You might equally say “I can find no evidence that it was received by JPM and find accordingly that it...

Bloody Hell. As if I’m not in enough trouble, I’ve just bitten into a slice of toast and broken one of my front teeth clean off. Anyway, jumping wasn’t up to it for Matata, but better jumping would only have only got him a bit closer in third. Nothing today.

Better, though. The reportedly “intensive” schooling sessions seem to have made a bit of a difference, so more sessions might make his jumping passable - which would probably be good enough. Dangerous to assume it until seen in a race, though.

:ROFLMAO: But the writing was copperplate.

Back home again so able to pick up the threads. 2:37 Kelso Matata - went close in this last year and it’s an easier contest than the Shloer which is what I was looking for. Sean Bowen is up today which is hardly a disadvantage. 14/11 Matata ran a fine race in the Shloer and although he...

Fair enough, you better cast your eye over Matata up at Kelso, then :)

At the risk of upsetting smartie for wittering on about this, I’d be surprised if Jonbon ran up to his mark and aside from that the only thing that raises a question in relation to desert’s thoughts are the relative times. Not only was Lulamba five second faster than Il Etait Temps, but the...

That’d take him to some dizzy height.

On the face of it Lulamba is pretty special and Il Etait Temps was perhaps flattered by how easily he won, despite the eulogies being heaped on him. Be interesting to see how Timeform rate the two of them. Ps: just come back to this - talk about teaching grandmother to suck eggs. Sorry guys :eek:

Bloody hell, smartie. It’s difficult enough to get a bet on without you queering the pitch even more. Stick in a loser now and then for Gawdsake.

I suppose the question is whether the Mildmay was Jonbon’s last hurrah, or whether there’s still a cheer to come. He’ll carry my money and my lungs will be sore cheering him home, or just in appreciation of a wonderful horse that’s given me so much pleasure (and a few bob).

Interesting - Paddy Brennan seemed to be struggling to say something similar without upsetting Nico on Unbridled. Constitution Hill always zipped over the hurdles with a high risk technique and heart stopping moments were not infrequent. What’s been different since he started falling are the...

They could do with you back, I reckon. Used to be the favourite bit of paper to stuff in my pocket in the stone age.

Should be an informative race. Lulamba really only had a school last time for his chase debut (with half the fences missing) and passed ok, but it didn’t tell us much. His price is mostly reputation and he’s only four, so a long term project and I doubt he’ll be given a hard time in this if he...

I had a look at this Artifical Intelligence thing ChatGPT and asked it/him/her what would win the Tingle Creek on Saturday. Wasn’t expecting the reply - “Can’t be bothered taxing my brain. Just ask YFUSA.” :)
