    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    I think that was a case of nothing keeping up with the French horse.

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    There's absolutely no reason why he should get behind, I can't see them going fast enough for that to happen. I remember well lingering stamina doubts regarding War of Attrition ÷ Sizing John. All unfounded.

    The Cheltenham Festival 2025

    On the ground a chance, particularly if they don't go quick, a scenario today, that helped Bob Olinger.

    Midlands Grand National (Handicap Chase)

    An awful record in this race. Only time I backed the winner, was when Jessie Harrington sent over Miss Orchestra in the early 90s. Feel free to ignore anything from me. That's if I even put one up.

    What's the worse way to lose?

    When they're never travelling + are pulled up around, or just after halfway. I take it as a personal sleight against my judgement 😆

    TV coverage

    When I know the stalls are about to open, or when the starter has raised his flag, is when I switch on.

    Yay. Off the mark at last. Nice odds too ! 🙂

    On that ground, should've ran him in the big one.

    2025 Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase

    Another minefield. No bet here either.

    2025 Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle

    Minefield of a race. Henderson horse Jeriko may be thrown in. I'll sit this one out.

    2025 County (Handicap) Hurdle

    I've mentioned it before, but Kargese looks potentially thrown in.

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    First Confession in the Albert Bartlett on Friday. Tizzard had a couple of 2nds yesterday. This can be a gruelling race for a novice. He has won on heavy over 3m in a point to point. First time stepping up in trip under rules. 50/1.

    2025 Coral Cup (Handicap Hurdle)

    I've been watching him closely + have had small bets on him last twice. Those runs give me zero confidence if I'm honest. However at the odds I dare not leave him alone.

    2025 Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle

    He could be another Dom Poli, Sir Des Champs, Galopin etc, but you have to take him on. I like Aston Martini at 50/1. Form of a couple of his races ( Lingfield ) + last time out at Ascot ,have worked out, + he's still lightly raced.

    2025 Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle

    Maybe a McManus gamble happening here.

    Not a complete surprise to see that gappen to CH. He's reached for a big one 3 times. Unfortunately didn't get away with it this time.. I feel a bit gutted for State Man tbh.

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    A couple on Thursday take my eye. I'm on Jane Eire in the Mares novices at 50/1. Unlucky not to be unbeaten over hurdles. Possible there's plenty of scope for improvement. Sean Bowen booked. I do think Bob Olinger is overpriced in the stayers. Favourite may need it softer + Bob is 3/3 at...

    2025 Coral Cup (Handicap Hurdle)

    Might I. Ran in this last season + it sounds like he had a horrible time of it. Despite winning earlier this season at Bangor, I get the impression they've been looking after him a little bit, in order to get a bit of confidence back. My eye is drawn to his run in the Martin Pipe 2 years ago...
