    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Just Saturday and Sunday for me. We're in the Final Flight this year so we we'll need to head in early to get a table so we can rest our weary legs over the day. Going to The Plough after racing on Saturday though if anyone's heading that way?

    Looking forward to Scea Royal's return tomorrow being a fav of mines but the main interest for me is the last

    Greystoke has sent out some top class animals over the last 40 years and they think in time Ribble Valley could be another.

    Be a lot of sad faces if he doesn't go close to winning the Bumper none more than Nicky's...Cleaned up at Ayr so he owes me nothing

    PN is hard to beat at the moment so I am backing Ribble Vallley with a saver on the Dicheat horse

    Security's been a joke, all racegoers told not to bring a bag bigger than A4, some have been going in carrying in virtual sacks, my other half was advised on Friday she couldn't take in a small bottle of water to take medication even though it was sealed as in any shop, there is also a rule no food. Whilst they were searching through her handbag at the entrance yesterday I stood beside her with a large bottle of water and two packed lunches in my pockets and they never even looked at me. Touts operating in the car parks, heard someone tell security and they just said "not my area" and shrugged their shoulders.

    He might have given you a mate's discount...

    My plan of action would have been to seek out a local Wetherspoons and filled up early with a serious breakfast, enough to last through until dinner in Wetherspoons
