    Ive taken some 25s about Sam Spinner this morning. I'm massively hungover so I'm perhaps over rating him!

    It doesn't look as though you are Dave!

    Good luck with UGA this afternoon by the way.

    New kid on the block should be taken very seriously.

    I backed L'ami Serge and he came came there cruising but when I glanced a look at Sam Spinner JC was also still on the steel and barely moving.

    I never thought for one minute L'ami 1.57 in running would get past him. I though JC was always in control.

    Jury mat still be out but another performance like that between now and then and y'all want to be backing him

    A painful one, TheBear, but worth the exploration.

    The real pisser is that Jacob didn’t do anything wrong, and gave the horse the best-possible chance of winning - he is just a complete and utter woofer. I can see something similar happening at Cheltenham i.e. travels like a dream, only to hound it when the chips are down. I can’t see how Jacob can do anythind different, and the result turns around.

    I doubt if they are

    Her foals as she stand now could be worth 2 to 5 times more if she continues her winning ways?

    Up her in trip could see her form deteriorate big time and future interest deteriorate

    Some woofer!!!mate he's finished 8 lengths in front of a world hurdle winner and was beaten by a very good horse.IMO

    Plus it's the fist time he's been tested on a stiff course at Championship pace over 3 miles and tbh I thought he never got home more than him dogging it

    When he won in France nothing was near him and the horse he beat had not been in great form and he was beaten out of sight in this race last year.

    Very pleasing performance from the winner, not really sure what to make of Uknowwhatimeanharry this season, just doesn't look at all like the horse we have seen in recent years - and that could well be age catching up with him. Was it just me who thought the winner looks as big as a bull or does he seem to be carrying plenty of condition?

    You do all your best picking when yer wankered.

    I’ll expect several freebies if this hits in March, pal!

    It’s not disrepectful to Sam Spinner to say that L’Ami Serge just didn’t want to know.

    The winner is a massively improved horse. He was one that went into my tracker at the start of the season, and one I got shot of, when he got turned over at Chepstow.

    It takes a special kind of genius to get it this wrong.

    The winner today just had plenty at the business end no fault of Lami. I wonder who tipped Sam Spinner to start off 2nd fav, hats off as they were right.

    Too many of Fry's better horses have flopped recently for there not to be a problem. If they can clear up whatever the problem is there could be some real value come March and April.

    That’s one tough mare. Criminal if they don’t aim her at this race now. Eye catching run from Supasundae

    Having got her at 11/4 for the mares and in several accas, i hope she doesn't, but for me she has to go for this race.
