Good morning mate, I dont follow them per se. And i dont follow them as much as i used to. As i have said in the past, and as many people know, some trainers are fairly easy to read and others are downright impossible. I found Sir Micky quite easy to suss and his modus operandi was tried and...

I remember talking to Ian Davies about Murray Dodd a week or two ago. The young lad has just won again on Prince De Juilley in the first at Warwick and looks a very capable jock. Good luck to him.

Totally agree mate. Obviously there will be plenty like us, just as there will be plenty who like it on a Saturday. Opinions eh ? :) But Derby day years ago when it was on a Wednesday was basically an unofficial Bank Holiday. People took the day off in their masses. It was a big thing then...

I'm not so sure that would work but i have to agree with you about the Wednesday. It was a stand out fixture then but these days it usually gets lost in a football tournament or whatever. We will probably both (and many more on here) remember the MASSIVE crowds that covered the whole course...

The crowd looks quite sparse at Cartmel tonight. More so when you consider it is a freebie for the Racing TV members. But then again, it is £30 to get in. And the poor souls HAVE to listen to Fitzgerald and his Sevenacres and Old Grammar and Woodside etc etc. They havent got a mute button...

I've heard that one from my missus as well.

My missus says the very same thing.

An absolute nonsense of a story on the front of the Rancid Post. It is trying to convince us that paying £7-50 for a pint of Guinness or lager or cider at the Cheltenham festival is not too bad when compared to "other major sporting events". (Dont ya just hate that term) !!!! Well judging by...

I'm definitely going senile in my old age. A mate has just text me and said i had missed loads of JP- Haslam horses off that earlier list including a few that we had some right good touches on. They include, Rock On Fruity, Scoop The Pot, Protek Des Flos, Laskadine. Melody Of Scotland and...

I agree, he wont get many better opportunities and good luck if you get involved. I will certainly cheer it on for you but i have decided to sit it out and watch. As for the JP - Haslam connection, the list of horses that have moved and done the business (eventually, after dropping way down...

I dont know if you remember but it was a horse i highlighted a while ago on the old forum. Again it is a case of trying to work out "the day". Rated 139 at best and ran on this day last year off a mark of 134. Runs tonight off 111. But the race has cut up really badly now and it may cut up even...

With some stables that would look a problem. With others, not so much. If the day has come, it has come. No matter what "form" it is in. :);)

And people are still debating it :)

Hello old mate :)

One of the most debated Champion Hurdles ever. In fact, one of the most debated races ever.

Time for a bit of torture ! For anyone who cares to get annoyed for a few minutes. And a bit of (financial) pain. I've been talking to one of the lads on here about a horse tomorrow and i said i am not bothering. I also added that if it wins, so be it. It wont be the first time i have let...

I totally agree mate. Either 2m 4f or 2m 5f would be ideal. But what i would add is that Richie has a very unique style, apart from his bouncing up and down in the saddle, and sometimes his "rousting along" isnt necessarily "rousting along" :);). He did nothing for a hundred yards on that bend...

I wouldnt disagree with that mate but just watch the race again. I have watched it five times now including just a couple of minutes ago and it is currently 5.35am. The horse made a small mistake at the water jump 4 from home which cost him a length or two and a bit of momentum. He was then...

Just as a comparison between admission, there is a vast difference between the value for money track at Hexham and the "Lets screw as much out of the punters as we can" attitude of Cartmel. Dont get me wrong, Cartmel is a lovely place and a lovely track and i have always enjoyed my visits there...

Its a lovely place mate, especially if the weather is being kind. And good value for money. Many tracks would do well to follow their lead.
