Hopeful that Shantou Magic can come back to form on decent spring ground at Newbury today. Glad that he's reunited with Aidan Coleman......jockey and trainer both in great form, so definite prospect...

Why? I'm a Member and I think the new bar and steppings available to us on the 1st floor of the new stand is far superior to what we had before...that crowded marquee on the roof of the old Tote...
You're quite right D.O. On reflection my comments were disrespectful and the tone inappropriate. I apologise to you and anyone else who may have taken offence.
I don't particularly care about your £40K a year outlay.
I know at least one member on here who spends more than that on 'racing' each year, and that Member hasn't chosen to have a pop at the rest...
WTF? No defitnitley not,no, it's my hobby. But i do expect a slightly better yield from my outlay of £40K approx. per annum.
So I'm really chuffed tonight (not many are her apparently).
Jesus Christ. All you're worrying about is how this will affect your bet. This is much more, so much more, than just about your stupid little wager. This is about as all, whether we're net...
this story has been live for 48 hours, yet nobody on here (apparently) could care less. An insufficient funding from betting is a problem which has plagued our industry for the last 20-or-30 years,...
What a dreadful few days for Gary Moore. Season is over for Traffic Fluide and Violet Dancer and now Ar Mad finished lame at Plumpton yesterday. Let's just hope it's nothing too serious and he can...
Well done Roddy. I'm taking this as a big positive for Our Reward, who beat your fella at Durrow ptp. ;)
But what about the punters (not me I hasten to add) who backed the deserved winner?? Aren't they a bit sickened?
Luke, I think you've been on the juice too. How could a horse win by a short head "on merit", and yet the jockey given a 11-day ban and fined most of his percentage for a flagrant case of over-use?...
No. Your comment betrays a complete ignorance of the whip rules and the penalties applied. Walsh's penalty of 2 days is the entry point for a heat-of-the-moment extra whack. Brennan's penalty of 11...
Fantastic horse I agree, but not a well deserved winner. Only won because the jockey cheated in the most flagrant manner. Hopefully this injust result will finally spur the BHA to amend the rules.
The 11-day ban and large fine imposed on Brennan leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. Brennan won by blatant cheating, he knew exactly what he was doing. If the rules were as they should be, Cue...
But who will like it are the smaller owners and trainers who have seen their bread-and-butter novice hurdles and chases hoovered up by Bloomfield horses up and down the country from Perth to Newton...
Impressive Fixed Brush Haydock winner Baradari has had to be put down following a schooling fall. A sad loss for Skelton and Brooks.
Well the first one ran an absolute stinker and is a lot better than that. Snowden yard still under a cloud.
Our Reward goes in the Bangor bumper in 5 minutes' time. Jamie Snowden has been quiet but had a welcome winner in an earlier race which gives some encouragement.
Then Shantou Magic in the Caspian...
12 wins, 8 seconds, 5 thirds from 27 starts. Oh to own a horse like that.
Following in the footsteps of Jim Crowley and Graham Lee, Dougie Costello has switched codes. He'll be riding as stable jockey to Karl Burke.
Shantou Magic runs in a competitive C2 handicap at Bangor tomorrow, named to commemorate Arkle's owner who apparently lived locally. Trainer's been winning a few big pots lately and it's time we had...
C'mon EC1....I can't go into a public forum with this.....just suffice to say that he's moved his horses to Nicholls from Hobbs and Tom George as well. Just one of those owners who's never happy...
I've sent you a pm.
OR now a non-runner. Banged his shoulder in his box overnight. Not been a great week!
Not a lot of encouragement there, TQ still seems to have breathing issues. But we put these disappointments behind us and look forward to the next runner, which is Our Reward in a quite competitive...
