    Up or Down?

    A bit down overall (in more ways than one now it’s over). Was there Tues and Weds and loved every minute. Had Honeysuckle but narrow misses with Abras and Lord du Mesnil on day 1 - but at least radar not far off. Weds had Envoi but Defi my main bet, and not much else came close. Didn’t go on...

    Road to the Champion Hurdle 19/20

    Shame - hope it comes up soft and he gets a run. Not much chance in a strong year, but can see him placing this time as in the Supreme, if ground indeed on soft side. A point was made that came past tired horses in that race - but another way to look at it was that timed his run late and stayed...

    Novice Hurdlers 2018/2019

    Regarding Elixir, who I also like the look of - have been wondering about his defeat to Thomas Darby in autumn, who came through from miles back to beat him well. Know TD beaten at Kempton at Christmas, but maybe not suited by the track? Elixir will make all, but could he be vulnerable to...

    The Long Shot Thread

    Good to know I'm not alone! Have same on Leoncavallo at 110 on Betfair, 12.5 for a place (4 places). Don't think the bumper horse has much of a chance but have put a couple of quid on the nose in case of miracles Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
