Ditto; thought the news about the horse was bad enough, this is just unbelievable.

Desperately, desperately sad.

RIP, Campbell

Oh, I'm sure you could turn her if you put your mind to it Clive; bet she's right up for a bit of plain speaking :lol:

Gulf of Naples gave form in his last race a fair boost

That was a promising return

Shame MT beaten half a length by stablemate

Wish I'd come up with that final sentence. Deadly accurate, too.

Seemed to be a serious gamble on Quattro, who looked as if he'd been laid out for the race and on a nice mark. Has he fallen out of love with the game a bit?

Or the next Chris Eubank :lol:

Wonder if he gave Clare B a lyrical waxing?

Maybe why her raspberry ripples used to stick out so far :blink:

Totally agree. The argument for a maximum of 40 is that it's a very wide track, but that's specious as hardly any go out wide. You were also correct to draw attention to the number either...

Said last year and still think the run to the first is way too long and causes the excessive pace in the early part of the race. Also tape breakers should be disqualified, although this is a hard...

Just enough, hopefully.

On this one, with According to Pete for EW value and Midnight Haze as the most underrated of the 100/1 shots Of those I haven't backed, am most worried about Always Right

Vulcanite ruined any chance with a series of shoddy jumps. Winner impressive; Captain Conan will make a nice chaser next year.

Was trying to work out why some repulsive old hags were trying to flog me lucky heather on the way OUT of the course...

Thought that's what most of us were saying to be fair; awesome effort from McCoy.

Bang on, SC

Absolutely right. Just got back and watched it in the flesh then on replay, conclusions - SWC rode a perfectly decent race; McCoy rode like the hounds of hell were on his tail, completely magical...

Hollow Tree, Brindisi Breeze and My Flora

Strangely drawn to EW nibble at Starluck, too

Or perhaps they're running moderately, but in front of low expectations, a consequence of his having endured a bit of a thin time?

Interesting stat, though

Didn't act well on very firm surface at Newbury :lol:

Posted on Saturday that two of Nicholls' ran like dogs when favourites to land opening races. This subsequently became three.

Apparently, Rock on Ruby is housed at his satellite yard.

Poquelin...

Mighty Marine?

Kid glove treatment for JP at Cheltenham, as normal

Promising run, beaten 13L in 3rd behind two decent sorts, not sure how genuine that form is, having not seen it, though.

Market suggested he had no chance, with morning 11/4 turning into 16/1, but...

Nicholls hotpots run stinkers in first two at Sandown.

Wonder if the yard is really back to normal for Cheltenham after recent issues?

Jim Old sends out Round The Horn in the Beginner's Chase at Chepstow.

I admit to having a mild fixation with this horse; history of leg trouble (him not me) and very lightly raced, but might well...
