    It's seems to be 48h for the G1s and I think that it's 24h for the rest.

    The tipping point usually comes around 25 years

    Yes, the statute of limitations on marriage should be 25 years.

    So to all the bachelor's on board.. The advise of the seasoned pro is to stay that way..
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Not exactly what I said but it's not advice I'd gainsay.

    I'll have to back Forest Bihan on Thursday if he runs in the Red Rum Chase. He should run his usual good race.

    Six horses have been declared for the Betway Bowl at Aintree on Thursday. The runners are Balko Des Flos, Bristol De Mai, Clan Des Obeaux, Elegant Escape, Kemboy and Road To Respect.

    Nine will feature in the Aintree Hurdle on Thursday. Buveur D'Air, Faugheen, Summerville Boy, Melon Supasundae and Verdana Blue are in the line-up but Apple's Jade, Samcro and Benie Des Dieux will not run.

    Kind of think she's vulnerable. Been beating stayers like Lost.. and Top.. over 2m5 and 3m and now on a faster track she's up against speedier types.

    Only 3 hours from Euston to Aintree.
