    The Worlds End at 33's is a terrific price. George can't do anything but say how important the ground is for him.

    When you say penalty do you mean Joe Colliver.

    Delighted to see Supa get a spin around at 2m this weekend

    On at 25's down to 16's
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    I hope some of that is each way otherwise you'll be pissed when the Sergemeister collars him on the bridal up the run in.

    If he’s on the bridal he’ll trip over the train on his dress.

    There’s no animal less deserving of the word ‘meister’ adding to their name than that raging charlatan!

    His bridle speed is his closing speed. Don't see an issue.

    If they go a decent pace in the Stayers' that speed will be more than enough to win this imo

    There’s more fight in a French pacifist. That’s my issue.

    Some is but serge is not one I'd fear in a battle.

    I scoured the Weekender today for some kind of comment but saw none. They'll probably tell us after he pishes up in the Stayers but of course the yard will have other matters on their minds right now.
    In today's RP:

    "He cameout of the Cleeve fine and ran a cracker. He hung a little bit to the right;he's had a little tweak done to his back since but he still ran a good race."


    "A little bit to the right"? That's like saying Nicky Henderson enjoys a shandy.
    Anyway, if he's had his back checked out and fixed it implies they found something not quite right and that would explain his run.

    I imagine something will emerge regarding Beer Goggles. He didn’t show any tendency to hang out right at left-handed Newbury so I suspect there was a physical problem with him. I thought he ran well in the circumstances.

    Beer Goggles gone to Nicky Martin, a part owner of the horse, to be trained.

    Beer Goggles has been taken out of the Woolacott yard by the owners who are ptp trainers in the Minehead area and will be trained by them.

    Stayers Hurdle Thread

    I tried to post something on the thread (re Beer Goggles) last night but since then all I'm getting is a blank screen when I click on the most recent page.

    Is it my machine or is there a problem with the thread. I see DG has added a post this morning but I can't access it.

    Same for me, I added a post (about Beer Goggles too) to see if it would bring it back to life.

    I have let Col know.

    I can view the first 6 pages so it's just page 7 that has an issue.
    The older I get the better I was.

    Different members may have different settings as to how many posts appear on a page, for instance mine is set to 40 posts per page and it's Page 4 with the issue for me.

    I'd guess most of us use forum default. Looking at other threads I presume that that would be 20.
