Looks an interesting renewal. Prince Gibraltar looks short enough at 15/8 - difficult to know what to make of the form, but it is in soft ground and the Criterium de Saint Cloud has hardly worked out fantastically. Lot of unexposed horses around the 14/1 mark, but the one that takes my eye is...

Have a spare grandstand ticket for Guineas day tomorrow if anyone is interested. Happy to leave it at Willcall.

Going up tomorrow but not had a chance to have a good look at the card so any advice appreciated. I'm keen on Fiesolana in the Challenge. Relentlessly progressive all year, I think 7f should suit her down to the ground. She wasn't suited by the run of the race in the Matron either. The...

Going over on Wednesday for the United match. Don't fly out until Friday early afternoon though so hoping to get a bit of sight-seeing in. Anybody been before and/or have any recommendations on what we should be heading for?

Seven up at Windsor this afternoon. Not bad going!

Not a field I have been paying a great deal of attention to of late (though I am surprised there isn't already a thread on the topic on the forum...), but I heard Mullins interviewed on RTE today and, of his recent winners, he particularly mentioned Paparazzi Kid and Morning Royal as likely...

Recently been offered the chance to move out to New York through work. Been out a few times, though (to my shame) never been for more than three days or so. Strongly leaning towards taking the job, being in my twenties and single at the minute. The question is more whether anyone has any...

Just a reminder that we will have the chat box out in all its glory for what is becoming an annual preview evening tomorrow from half 8. We'll go through all of the big races in chronological order and hopefully get a few winners sorted for the week ahead. The more we have the merrier so feel...

Rules One selection each day in each race at the Cheltenham Festival with one of your selections noted as your nap. Selections must be listed in race order and any list not in race order is void. To make this easy a template of race times will be provided to copy and paste before adding your...

Apologies to all for what will prove to be a temporary blip on the road to Cheltenham and beyond! Hope see you back posting!

Just a quick message to announce that Galileo is stepping down from his position as moderator due to work commitments. Irish Stamp has kindly agreed to step into the breech for a bit, with myself and Betsmate staying on. Aidan deserves a hell of a lot of credit for the amount of work and time...

I think they are great. Usually download to the Ipod and listen to them on the train to and from work or when running in the morning. I'm a regular listener of the following: Guardian Football Weekly Red Cafe Podcast Guardian Daily New York Times politics podcast I listen to the excellent...

No apologies for starting this thread on a day like today! What were your highlights and lowlights of 2010 then and what are you most looking forward to in 2011? Highlights - Harbinger in King George and Binocular in the Champion Hurdle. Puntingwise a sustained decent run of Friday nights...

Been meaning to make a donation to a cancer charity for a while now but never got around to doing it. Lost a close friend, my granddad and an uncle in the space of a year about three years back. Being in the middle of university at the time I really wasn't in a position to be donating to any...

Based on the RTE series starting tommorrow. The runners (as voted for by the public apparently): Michael Collins Bono Mary Robinson John Hume James Connolly Thoughts? The most noticeable omission (and my idea of the winner) is surely De Valera. Anybody care to price it up? This should be...

Just watching one of the documentaries about the 'third plane' that went down tonight. Terrifying, saddening and inspiring in equal measure really. With all the hysteria over burning Qu'rans and building mosques, it's hard to believe it's nine years since the day. Hard to believe that I was in...

What is Fencing Master doing in the Hampton Court? Didn't expect to see him here but given that he was my idea of the Eclipse winner a month ago I've had to take 6/1. Might lay him off for a place as I could see him bombing out entirely.

Well and truly here now. Absolutely cracking day in Yorkshire today. Girls at work have the sleeves up hoping to get a tan through the window... Let's hope it stays this way.

Loosen My Load out in what looks a decent 2m4f beginners chase at Punchestown this evening. Arabella Boy looks a decent chasing prospect as well and the likes of Glacial Promise and Trimbellina give the race a bit of depth. Really looking forward to seeing the De Bromhead horse over fences...

Your blind date woes moved me to cheer you up. Happy birthday mate. Hope you have a good evening anyway! :)
