I know bugger all about horses, but apparently Wall of Fire is a great bet.

    a very hard race to bet on in fairness.
  • Biggest race of the year for them is a 2m handicap. Says it all really

    I told you so. I know nothing about horses.
  • 9 of the first 11 were trained in Europe and the other two horses were imported from there.

    The Aussies really don't like losing so expect a three stone penalty for all our future horses to run in the race.

    Still no British trained horse has ever won.

    I wonder how many people inadvertently backed the wrong O'Brien and have therefore been pleasantly surprised by their profit

    Must be ‘Ashes’ inspired whingeing on here. Brilliant day, country of origin winner rarely mentioned but obviously tracked by you guys - says it all. Have seen more drunks at Ascot and down Eltham High Street in a Saturday night
