    i think its hard to judge a horse like Samcro first time out, majority of the time the big names are out for fitness and if they win its a bonus.

    But the trainer doesn't tell you that until after its been beaten.
    They don't run 'em for us mate.

    It happens Bob. You still have more than a few credits in hand and I'm sure most on here would rather you passed them on than didn't.

    No worries Bob.
    Fortunately Bet£3.65 were true to their name and restricted me to that stake.

    Enable destroying the field (apart from Magical) after going wide round the turn was incredible.

    Roaring Lion should never have been run on dirt

    Melbourne Cup. Any fancies?

    I'm happy with my AP playbook - Muntahaa at 18s (now 8s) and Nakeeta at 200s (now 66/1 but even so, ran respectably in defeat last year).

    I might add Cross Counter (8/1) today as his profile is pretty similar to Rekindling. One of those wide open races though of course.

    Mullins fancies Draconien as "being in the Footpad league" so a speculative 20/1 for me on the Arkle for him. He's since been trimmed in places so I'm not too unhappy.

    That said, if Willie says it's raining I'll be looking outside. But them's bold words.

    Smithys old horse ‘Florencio’ apparently just won at Chelmsford but nobody knows for certain as the lights went out with 2f to go! I presume they will call void race which is a pain in the arse as I backed it at 6/1

    A couple of friends of mine are season ticket holders at Lingfield. Today they were going to have to miss a rare jumps card that actually survived the weather there because they had a horse running at Chelmsford that they have a small share in. Of course, their horse was due to run in one of the abandoned races!

    I love watching Bless The Wings go round, even when he does underperform slightly. He clearly loves his gallivanting.

    Relegate very likely to be Mullins' pick in the Mares Novice at Cheltenham. Generally available at 8/1.

    Any tips or has anybody studied the card? Haven't had a chance yet.
