Expect Skelton to have a couple of very good days at Ayr this weekend. He always targets the meeting.

So too does PFN but whether he has the ammo this year isn't as obvious.

With Hendo back in...

Ouch, Luke. I don't feel so bad now :o

He must have been quite a price back then.

People who can be arsed to read some of my posts will know how much I value horses that are officially well...

Yes, while Galvin was my biggest bet and biggest hope, it's really annoying me that I didn't back IAM. After all, I backed CR at shorter last year because he was so well in officially.

I need to...

Advice, please?

Trying to access the forum on my iphone while out and about in Spain but not allowed in.

Does that mean the forum is not open to casual visitors/viewers?

Is that good for the...

I watched it again this morning.

Great race but if I'd been on IAM I'd have been worried the whole way. It didn't appear to me to be travelling or jumping particularly well (and I'd probably have...

Superb stuff :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

The brother backed IAM on the morning of the Bobbyjo. Either 20s or 33s, something like that.

Really pleased for him.

Great run for me from Galvin (heavy bet the day the weights came out) and...

Just looking at the oddschecker site, I get the impression morning punters are trying to snaffle the value in the 25-50/1 range.

I tried to go in again on Galvin this morning following the news...

Not all of them, I hope...

I take it someone 'of influence' has put up Kateira? I was a bit annoyed yesterday that the best I could get was 8/1 when better was available but it's into 4s-ish.

I hadn't looked at the last race (amateurs/claimers) but I was all over Brucio like a rash at Kelso so sickness insurance is a must.

I'd imagine most forumites come in to see the actual 'general racing topics' section first and foremost.

Would it be an idea to have that as the first category listed on the 'home' page? It might...

2.20 - Spirit D'Aunou 33/1 (if you can get it - I can't) - well fancied for the Betfair but could go close if back to its best. Not my main bet (that's Kateira) but strikes me as overpriced.

Smashing race again.Only just watched the replay.

That's Langer Dan with the handbrake truly off!

They might just send him chasing now with the Plate the target next March.

I'm as big a fan of Shishkin as there is but he'd really have to have been at his peak ability to win that.

Unfortunately I had Gerri in a treble with Grey Dawning and Kargese. GD was some way...

Not denying that - it's part of the reason I felt Townend should have maximised K's advantage at that point.

Also, K raced very keenly throughout and is better than the bare form too. She's very...

Townend gave that away there [imvho].

I absolutely hate to see jockeys taking a pull when they have momentum and I reckon if he'd kicked on he'd really have given Sir Gino a lot to do. I'm not...

Nice, easy winner, GH.

Always good when a cliff horse finally claws something back!

One race down, one Cheltenham winner beaten despite four weeks' recovery time.

Will this become a pattern?

My own conspiracy theory is that Ahoy Senor is already being trained with a view to getting his mark down 7lbs ahead of the 2025 Grand National :)

Galvin & RWF both declared.

Don't know whether to be happy or not. Both do have good form in soft but might prefer better. My...

It's a very quiet day for me, partly because it looks like being a day for favourites and partly because I'm in Spain and have only very limited bookie access.

I could only get 5/2 Kargese...

But I love conspiracy theories :lol::ninja:

Jockeys are sanctioned several times a season for not being given a good tactical ride. As recently as Monday Paddy Brennan got the max for his 'effort' aboard one at Wincanton.

For me, Dinoblue...

What do we make of Mark Walsh's decision to ride Limerick Lace rather than the much more obvious I Am Maximus (or even Meetingofthewaters)?

The more I look at the Cheltenham race the more I'm...

I think if they're short of a gallop it will exaggerate a weak-looking finish.

One thing we know about CR is that he does not weaken when fully fit.
