    Yeah Krizon, was very happy when I seen his pozzie after tacking over. He hated the very tacky ground though and after some encouragement it clearly wasn't happening for The Zone. Like you i was worried something had gone wrong with the horse, but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment anyway.

    Yeah it's my cousin that owns the horse but he lives in France so i try make it when he can't.

    I'm very pleased to hear he's okay, Hezz. You sometimes don't know until they're at full racing speed if they're carrying a respiratory problem, for example. The ground sure didn't suit everyone today, so let's hope he does you and your cuz proud when it sharpens up a bit.

    Congratulations to connections of ONLY THE BEST 25 length winner at Hexham yesterday.

    It was obviously GRASSHOPPER'S money that forced in to 9/4 from 11/4.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    Grasshopper didn't have so much as a kopek down, but really couldn't give a toss.

    Tremendous feeling to welcome Georgie back into the winners enclosure, and nice to meet Cantoris for the first time too. Happy days, with hopefully more to come over fences next season.

    Def more to come over fences and he seems to love that soft ground. There's a good bunch involved in him too.....with a wide international spread!!

    Didn't realise OTB was yours, Grassy, so a huge well done to him, and congratulations to you. I hope he enjoyed a handful of Polos! Very, very nice showing, particularly in that sog.

    Good run from Ballyvesey at Towcester this afternoon. He travelled very well and was very short in running all through the second circuit but there was one too good at the end.

    Nice result Grassy, well done.
    Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

    The congragulations should go to the pilot for getting off the course alive after winning so far.

    Don't worry, Gearoid - we got him in the Little Chef car-park.
