Cracksman yesterday looked like he's wintered well and grown into his 4 year old frame.
Let's hope we can see him and Enable take each other on before the Arc.
I'd expect Cracksman to have improved considerably over the Winter and I know who I would back if the two were to meet, depending upon ground conditions.
A horse riding a horse? That would be a spectacle...
anyone see the fighting from goodwood the weekend, certainly puts you off the flat meetings.
I haven't but that really is a real shame. Goodwood is probably the most picturesque course that I have ever been to and to think that louts have done what they do there is very disappointing.
Not great scenes at Goodwood, no. Despite this, I'm still very excited to be going to my first "proper" race meet - Ladies Day at Epsom!
I've been to Kempton twice for the AW Twilight meetings (rubbish grade 5 affairs, mainly) with work, so to go and see some proper horses (hopefully Cracksman/Hawkbill/Cloth of Stars/Happily/September, and so on) would be wonderful!
royal ascot last year on the saturday is now a no go for me if you want it nice go during the week otherwise some toby in asos suit, with loafers and either no or red socks on acting like a complete wanker.
Got to have sniffer dogs at these meets the amount of twats that can’t handle the gear and drinking Stella whilst wearing a suit is unbelievable, Cheltenham and even aintree you don’t really see this sort of thing, although Cheltenham is less of a fancy occasion and aintree you would expect trouble you just don’t really get it, issue is the weather and the amount of “lads” that go in groups. Only ever done ascot for the flat racing - was looking to go lingfeild over the summer but might not bother.

Lingfield on a Saturday evening isn’t worth the hassle - always trouble

Going to the races for the first time ever on sat. Newbury for my cousin’s stag do. Really looking forward to it. Any of you more learned chaps got any tips for any races on that day would be much appreciated
Haven’t got massive funds this month so was gonna just chuck £12 on a super heinz to be honest

The irony on bookies getting restricted is cause for a champagne breakfast this morning!
William Hill have already had to start relaxing restrictions on bets on TV races. The only logical explanation for me is that it's in expectation they will lose out on that sweet FOBT money. I expect others will start to follow suit? We can hope.

Having had a cursory glance at the cards today, I'm really intrigued by the 7.45 at Windsor. D'BAI (13/2) is only going over 6f for the second time (looked alright when doing it at Meydan but might not have run the right race for himself), having previously been a winner over 7f/1m. Always runs well - very smart - and I'd be very tempted by a small each-way flutter, with The Tin Man quite easily opposable at evens.

Bookmakers might just have to become bookmakers again

Newbury 3.00 Mekong
Newbury 4.50 Athena
Always get plenty of top class fillies when going racing on Saturdays
I think the first 2 times I dabbled at Cheltenham I got lucky
Absolutely none of that in a while though. My cousin was about £300 up just picking winners
Good day though
