Some great tipping guys and a whopping entry of 35 forumites! We haven't had that many in a comp for a long tome so really good to see how healthy this place is. Truncheon take a bow after four winners yesterday :cheerleader:But all to play for and even those of you who are lower down -...

Here are rules and conditions: Select one horse in each race plus one selection to be your nap Only one nap per day which will double your points Points are as follows: 5 for a win, 3 for a second, 1 for third Any winning horse where the SP is 10-1 or more you will get 10 points for that win...

Does anyone fancy running a competition next week? We usually have one and it makes it more fun. Plus we’ve got some active new member who might like to have a go entering?

This shows just how close the wild fires are to the racetrack at Santa Anita! I cannot imagine how scary it is to have horses there at the moment judged by how rapidly and randomly the fires are being spread by the Santa Ana winds. Training has been cancelled at present (you'd have to think that...

Thought I’d start a new thread on new lives for ex-racers so it doesn’t get lost in the “Departures and Retirement” thread. Really lovely to see Lady Buttons on her third career now having failed at Stud, she’s now been brought back as a show horse and lifted the Racehorse to Riding horse title...

|As the old thread got locked I thought there was a new one needed sadly. Sir Henry Cecil's nephew Ben Cecil has died at 56 from cancer (his father, Henry's twin, too died of cancer). A good trainer in his own right in the US, I briefly knew him over there. Very sad to hear that he has passed...

To the following Maruco Tanlic Double J Beef or Salmon Chronic Landlord Wilson Euronymous Coach Miguel Grasshopper Edgt Grey EP1987(last year’s runaway winner) I hope you’re sitting studying hard on your lists and are nearly ready to post them! And there are a few more regulars who are more...

I know that this isn't regular racing but this is some achievment! https://ustrottingnews.com/southwind-amazon-becomes-winningest-horse-of-the-modern-era/

Hi All And we're back!! I have managed to compile a new list and hopefully I have made it fresher with some random horses thrown in here and there! I may well have omitted some horses which should be there (in which case, if you spot them - grab yourself a decent dark horse!)......there may also...

Please sign up here. And would you prefer to have a list of 250 or 300 horses? Or would you prefer a “free for all, anything goes?” (This is only a suggestion but it would mean the Dark Horse would go). Please let me know ASAP so we can get working on a list if preferred.

Has announced he will retire at the end of the season. A truly great trainer in my opinion with six Derby winners amongst an incredible roster of equines. I think personally he’s in my top five trainers ever. Never afraid to give a horse time to mature, it paid off on so many occasions.

Just wowsers! Like seriously that was the dogs!

The breaking story on the news right now (not announced on the BBC but is elsewhere) is that the crossbow shooting in Bushey, Herts involves his family. He returned home last night from commentating and found them. Thoughts are with him and cannot begin to comprehend what he’s going through.

Sad news came through on Facebook yesterday of the sudden passing of Bob Rocky Rolf. I am pretty sure he was a member on here or at least Final Furlong so many of you may have known him. He was passionate about racing (and bowls!) and I loved reading his regular posts on Facebook about the...

Is anyone up for a forum competition next week? Think it’s about time we had another?

For many years the Derby has been in decline in popularity (I personally liked the Wednesday version) so if they want to big it up, why don’t they just have one big day comprising of: A two year old Stakes race The Oaks A top quality 1m 2f handicap The Coronation Cup The Dash The Derby Or...

Putting this in the racing topics instead of “what are you watching.” Documentary following a group of guys who buy a racehorse which then wins at York. Not sure why it merited a documentary (might feel differently after watching it) but it doesn’t sound like a Dream Alliance type story. That...

That one friend who likes racing but backs at least 6 per race and then sends you a text saying “winnner....28-1!” They’re a good friend (and a really nice person and it’s fun to swop tips) and I’m happy that they’re enjoying the racing but this constant crowing (invariably after the race) is...

And I’m not sure why? I’m on about Cheltenham. I’m just not excited as usual. I guess I made a decision yesterday that I didn’t think I’d go as friend I normally go with with I have finally let loose from my life. Despite the nice freebie ticket, the issues around the alcoholism just got too...
