Haven't been on for a while. Nice to find a discussion that doesn't appear to be suffering with Thistlecrack mania. The King George was a shocking renewal. Had Cue Card been able to run close to his best he would have won ten lengths. Thistlecrack actually ran to a rating in the low 160's yet...

It's a strange old world that you inhabit if you think an 'I know something and you don't' attitude is actually helpful. Perhaps you should buy a dictionary?

What's the point in saying that if you have no wish to correct it? Very helpful.

How did you manage to find that out?

Thanks to everyone who has added. It just seems strange if you are going to go to the trouble of all the different caps why not give a full list. We all know even the poorest of the bunch might end up being placed to win a race. Clearly they didn't want to do that much with Nephrite but I got...

This should have been the most important part of the day but following on from Leopardstown from the viewers point of view it was another total shambles. Of course ATR were not helped by having Bob 'bumbling fool' Cooper on studio duty and Gary O'Brien and Kevin Blake suddenly going missing -...

Counting your chickens? Wasn't that precisely what you were doing in respect of Far West prior to him being tonked in the Triumph.

Has anyone got the links to the other ones?

Hopefully, Newbury will survive. The two early movers for the mare's handicap hurdle appear to be Ballinahow Star and Eleven Fifty Nine. Is this in response to Pricewise? As far as I can see both horses are going to struggle on the heavy ground.

Seriously, you think there is a half length between Cooper and Mullins? Doesn't take much to go from progression to regression. I think he will be very lucky to even make the Champion Hurdle. Even the initial 10/1 wouldn't look value.

Absolute disaster for anyone who has backed this down to favourite for next year's Champion Hurdle. May as well make a bonfire now. Cooper is a budding champion, Mullins is useless.

Is that really any worse than seemingly being naive enough to believe nothing untoward is happening just because no evidence exists?

Unless people vote with their feet I doubt there will be any great rush to do anything about it. Knock about 30,000 off the crowd each day and I might think about returning.

The only figures released confirmed a 12% reduction. Sadly, I think we have lost track of what is most important about the game - the horses. Do we really need to see (so many) presenters on-screen so often? Even when a presence is deemed necessary for an on-course interview it is often very...

Not the most articulate, full of her own self importance and constantly promoting Tom Segal - except of course when he is tipping about 30 losers in a row. Having said all that she isn't the main the reason they are losing viewers and I seriously doubt that she will be getting the boot. DO...

West Wizard a little bit free in the early stages but looks the part and eventually won well enough to suggest he could be another off the Henderson production line. Apparantly, a possible for the Aintree bumper and no surprise if he went off favourite.

These were not necessarily the top five figures wise but they were my personal favourites:- 1 Bobs Worth - not sure he was at his best today on the softer ground but still maintained his great Cheltenham record and if they keep him sound he is clearly going to prove very difficult to beat. 2...

I didn't hear the interview but isn't this typical of him. Whenever anyone makes a point to him he will never say yes I agree with that - I think it is a superiority thing - only he can offer the correct opinion.

Village Vic looks incredibly short for a horse who should have problems with both trip and ground.

What makes you think Fingal Bay would? Dynaste hammered him and then all over the place afterwards - would imagine you could name your price with the bookmakers. Chalk and cheese in comparison with Bobs Worth.
