I've had to move my business of "O'Gormless, Slaughter & Maim" for obvious reasons....
Makes up for your god-awful attempt in the "For and Against" thread anyway!

AC, I got this yesterday (eventually) as I'm sure others did but if the Vino is still going I'll take it -Urban Sea 
Song I'd love to talk about mares and learn from your great experience.That stood the last time you where here but you prefered to try and make fun of me. That's History, so feel free to talk about mares now and I'll do my best to keep up.

Me too - I miss the mare and breeding debates on here. Let's bring them back! I need to learn plenty.
Also where is the wise and benevolent Venusian? Have not seen him posting lately.
And on that note, the breeding of Well Chief was what first attracted me to him.

From Sporting Life:
David Pipe believes Well Chief could be the horse to trouble Master Minded in the Seasons Holidays Queen Mother Champion Chase should the old warrior return to his best.
The Cheltenham event on March 11 will provide the 10-year-old with the opportunity to make his first racecourse appearance since April 2007, when he finished third behind Monet's Garden at Aintree.
Well Chief has raced against the likes of top two-mile chasers Azertyuiop and Moscow Flyer, and he finished runner-up to the latter in the 2005 Champion Chase.
He is rated a 20-1 chance with William Hill to dethrone 1-2 favourite Master Minded on his second comeback from injury.
Pipe said: "His owner saw him canter on Wednesday morning and he is on the road back.
"He has a big hill to climb but we are getting there - he is cantering and swimming.
"He will be OK until we give him any fast work and has been living in the swimming pool.
"I don't see any reason why he won't retain his ability but it is his second try back from injury.
"He is in very good form and is one of the best I am ever likely to get hold of.
"There are two big ifs, but if we get him back and if he retains his ability, then he could be the one to give Master Minded something to think about."
