chef, one of my racing friends a lady called Ruth who used to post as Quixall Crossett on Final Furlong is a regular racegoer at Bangor and with her permission here is a couple of photos of Cornborough from yesterday

Thanks Roger much appreciated

Well done SC. We should have a couple at Warwick on Wednesday and overdue a winner. I hate this seconditis

Won't be long Roddy especially with your trainer at this time of the year.

Roddy, I didn't get a photo of him, but I saw old Ballyvesey at Perth on Wednesday evening looking very well before his run in the hunters chase there.

Ballyveysey has a claim to fame as the first horse into the parade ring prior to the first ever race at Ffos Llas

I remember it well. What a great evening, spent with Roddy and Ruth. I also spent a few hours with Gordon Elliot and 'Elvis' Nolan afterwards chewing the fat whilst taking advantage of the hospitality.

Apparently I had a night out in Llanelli afterwards, which I'm much less clear on!

Apache Gold returns to Killarney tomorrow 8.5 furlong 7.20.
the weaker of the two divisions he may need the race but are hopeful of a top five finish; Specific gravity should win though.

 

[Roddy Owen]

Best of luck, we are running at Warwick

 

[archie]

Good luck to both.

Cant believe BET 365 ,9/1 this morning for Beggars Wishes , lovely

 

[Roddy Owen]

We need Rolling Maul to go in tomorrow then

Are we confident Roddy?

Apache Gold back home in Cork 7.00 Friday.
Chris Hayes rides so we are hopeful of a good ew run once it rains; 74 sec is his time for cd so if ground is quick he is lost.
Hot enough looking contest, head gear back on.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Best of luck, edgt.

 

[trudij]

Best of luck edgt

 

[Tout Seul]

Good luck, Roddy and Edgt!

 

[archie]

Best of luck to both.

 

[Roddy Owen]

Yes

 

[Tincan]

Good luck both.

I've had a few quid on Rolling Maul so hopefully pays for Sunday's day at the races.

If he's got his confidence back (assuming he lost it a bit when trying chasing?) then surely he beats these well. He looked a brilliant hurdler the other year

Bay of Freedom running at Sligo tomorrow evening. Looks competitive enough but he has been going ready well at home. http://www.cheltenhamdream.com/blog-diary/

Letbeso should be in the frame at Ffos Las

Letbeso should be in the frame at Ffos Las

Good luck Roddy. Are there any plans to go back chasing with him at any point?

 

[Roddy Owen]

I thought he looked pretty good and definitely got his jumping back. Def over fences next time

 

[swedish chef]

Olivers Gold runs Saturday 3.50 Hexham and should run a big race as long as no soft in the going.

Agree. Thought he ran well considering the lack of obstacles.

Olivers Gold runs Saturday 3.50 Hexham and should run a big race as long as no soft in the going.

Good luck Chef.

Amazing how cruel this game can be , five years ago myself and partner decided we wouldn't insure our horses any more as too expensive. Five years no problem. Discussing this and being quietly pleased we did the the right thing just two weeks ago. Then we lose Red Six and yesterday the vet discovers Serious cancer in Regal Diamond. Two of our best horses lost in two weeks. Bollocks
