Hello,

I do not know if anybody has noticed, but I have spent the past couple of days suffocating the antis while deprogramming those who might have been swayed by those cults.

THE ANTIS ARE...

I am, as my partner would say, "unorthodox" :D

Thank you :)

Morning... turned forty a few months ago. Dare I ask why you ask?

Haven't been doing any to post. Have been on something of a sabbatical and working on a few other mechanisms. Some are at differing stages of completion to others.

I might do another juvenile...

Hi Jinny,

Thank you for speaking up. I am pleased that you are confident enough to use your words in such a potentially hostile environment.

I don't doubt that a lot of men would also object to...

Here is a stream of consciousness. Please don't talk to me about the grammatical, structural, spelling errors etc. It is a stream of consciousness after all.

There are truths... facts about traits...

They are back, and so too is this thread.

Been covering for the boss at work this week as well as having a delightful time travelling to the North East due to the train strikes. As such, I am...

Apologies for going quiet... Holidays, illness and writers block... Would like to improve the whole time management thing in 2023 but time will tell.

In meantime, preview notes for the first...

PRESTBURY HURDLE
Cheltenham’s Prestbury Hurdle will be the first graded contest of the season in the division. For as long as there has been a Mackesons Gold Cup, a juvenile hurdle has also been...

It does indeed refer to behind.

For what it's worth, I had him down as a 124 horse when I did a profile for him last year. Two mile on good ground would not have suited but provided he is sound,...

Thanks all :)

If nothing else, I think I have finally shaken that Hill Station silks carrying monkey off my back, which feels better than I would like to admit!

I appreciate nobody mentioning...

Hi Dessie,

The BHA used to do direct translations, which would be reasonable with older horses, but grossly unfair for those earning their ratings as juveniles.

I have tried to figure this out...

Indeed, it was really cool to have a chat with Mr Cunningham and the exposure certainly did no harm :)

To any new readers. A brief welcome and thank you very much for your curiosity. I research...

I have also thrown something together for the junior NH hurdle

The Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle is an integral feature of the early season juvenile calendar, although its history is best described as “varied”. This defining feature has been omnipresent since its...

Up until 1996, Kempton’s first juvenile hurdle of the season had been known as the Riverdale – a name which survived from the sixties and predated the Ferry Boat Chase, Charisma Gold Cup and Captain...

Thanks Colin :)

The "top prospects" have been doing miserably this season so am not sure how much of a handle I have on this year's bunch. I think the seconds are doing alright but I haven't...

Apologies for dropping off the radar. Rather annoyingly, work and general life are not bedfellows of exhaustive research projects. The past few races have also been fairly bobbins but that's by the...

The juvenile hurdle on Market Rasen’s ‘Prelude’ card was, in 2003, a selling race. That contest was won by Quick who was bought-in for 3,600 guineas ahead of a career which saw him place at the...
