DD in the supreme Edwardstone in the arkle. Hadn't given the mares much thought, but would have thought stormy Ireland should be fav, but must be missing something Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Literally the only ante post bets I have had are Sir Gerhard/Dysart dynamo doubles. They just need to win now!!! Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

This thread is just the perfect example of some expressing valuable insights and opinions in a succinct manner...... and others with little of value but posting endless amounts of rubbish Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Agreed....except Willie doesn't know/ hasn't decided yet either Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

If anyone has a spare ticket for today let me know. Thanks. Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Cheers Barjon. Will be interesting to see how the market prices this in for his runners and Nicholls, who also seems to be having a tough time of it Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

I'm more referring to how they have been running since Christmas Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

What is the general feeling on the form/health of Henry's horses? They were dreadful at Christmas. Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Amazed this isn't more prominent on racing news sites etc. Seems a huge story Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Thanks Wilson, appreciate that Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Hey. Just saw a story on the RP website saying Leopordstown crowds at Christmas are going to be capped at 10k. I'm not a subscriber so can't see the article. If someone could post it I would really appreciate it. Thanks Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

If anyone could post David Walshs piece from yesterday I would really appreciate it. Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

It seems to me that this issue, like others in racing (yards not able to attract/retain staff due to poor wages), it comes back to it being too cheap to have a horse in training. Like any business trainers are always going to compete on price. But I do sometimes wonder if training fees were a...

IHRB chief taking early retirement...... completely unrelated to this of course..... Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Yeah, I always presumed that the idea of buying a horse that already has experience is that you can crack on with them immediately, rather than having to give them time off Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

Fair enough, genuinely didn't know what the reasons for it was. Would this approach be pretty common across NH yards? For some reason I had it in my head that he tended to take much longer from buying them to getting to the track. Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

One thing that has always struck me as unusual regarding Willie Mullins. He seems to often buy horses that have run in France (usually in bumpers). He gets them into the yard, and then they often don't run for a long time (up to a year sometimes). Perhaps I am wrong here and he actually...

The two articles are easy to search for online. They are behind a paywall, which I think is quite reasonable. Proper long form pieces like these are expensive and shouldn't be given away for free online. Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

As long as they are using the newmarket test centre, I wouldn't be too confident. The gain feed contamination showed that the irish/UK testing is not nearly as sensitive to picking up banned substances compared to testing in France. Sent from my SM-J415FN using Tapatalk

My interpretation is that he is saying that he knows who the cheats are. If he was in charge he would have them "rooted out" within 6 months. I.e. if he was the IHRB he would be able to get a pretty watertight case and evidence against these people within 6 months. He is saying he would be...
