Fit as she is Rebecca Curtis must go on the don't touch list for punting. Awful from OFB.

Irish Cavalier too

Irish Cavalier went out like a light as well. Definitely a yard to continue avoiding. Shocking season.

Jonjo too..did you see Holywell today?..awful

Just wondering if there's a case to be made for sticking with the big yards at Cheltenham this year. This winters weather conditions must've made it difficult for those without top facilities to get the required amount of work into their horses and these storms don't appear to be stopping.

Don't wind Fist up, EC!

did you see state of it though Col..Jonjo must have had 500 runners with no winners in last 7 weeks..even for him he's holding back a bit with with actually training em to win races..mid Feb maybe?

To be fair that's been pretty much the case for the last few seasons anyway Bear.

JP is so loyal to his people. Jonjo has some perks. Someune like Alan King for example with the same setup would surely provide better numbers

Nicholls is having a bad one also by his standards?

 

[Maruco]

I don't remember as many yards being under the weather as we've seen this year. It's worth keeping a really close eye on through to the Festival.

Djakadam is back home. He has a cut on his chest that required stitching & will have an easy week walking.

Was anyone in Members Bar in the new stand when it was evacuated, what was all that about ?

 

[tiggers1972]

I was just arriving when that happened, bomb scare I was told.

 

[Grasshopper]

.....bomb scare I was told.

There was another one down by the first fence away from the stands.



:lol:

Thoroughly enjoyable days racing yesterday.

I thought Curtis's horses had got back in the groove.

I backed Irish Cavalier but noted immediately after the race:

I was not happy with Irish Cavalier after a couple of fences. Geraghty was shaking the reins at him after each fence and I suspected then he just wasn’t firing. The change in the going probably was to blame but at least his handicap mark won’t suffer and he will be competitive in a big race another day.

The Romford Pele certainly ran a blinder later in the day.
