    His point was along the lines of Altior would 100% of won a champion hurdle, SS might necessarily not have
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I backed Whisper thinking it was a stoll in the park for him as I am no fan of PN's

    I think that's the one DG has given me a link to so I still have to watch it.......I will also tweet Nicky and tell him to stop talking shyte.

    Sprinter if he had gone for it, it would have been 2012 when Rock on Ruby won it..........Rock on Ruby V Sprinter Sacre on the flat over fences or over hurdles would have been a no contest

    Yard is excellent form..great run by Whisper.

    I wonder how many of his main fancies will make it to Cheltenham.

    Keeping among others Altior, Might Bite, Brain Power, Top Notch and Buveur D'air sound is a huge ask.

    Will be interesting to see how many of the Famous Five get there

    Has Nicky got a split personality?

    Anyone had the audacity to ask him what meds he's on?

    Thanks DG. Donald Mcrae is a fabulous sports (non-horse racing) journalist and am a bit surprised at Nicky, but suppose we only have one side of the story

    What a beautiful photo accompanying that article.

    Not the one of Nicky, stupid. The one of Might Bite on the gallops.

    Looks like things are a lot better in the rest of the UK than in Scotland. Newspaper reporters up here are among the lowest of the low.

    One of the biggest stories in sport anywhere here has been happening up here for 20 years - and is about to get so much bigger shortly - and they're refusing to tackle it for fear of violent recrimination.

    Think of the media mogul in Mr Smith goes to Washington...

    And reverse the role between him and a certain faction.

    Fine Fine article.

    if print media is to have a future, storytelling like this is integral
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
