    A good summing up there Ginger, I hope your right, I’d happily settle for
    a RIGADIN win with a HARRY THE VIKING place. With Cheltenham just over 3
    weeks, that result would come in very handy :good:

    Thanks guys, if it hadn’t cut up as bad, I’d be betting Rigadin as well. Serious chance in this, and kicking myself for not taking the 14’s

    On Rigadin here. It’s going to be a slog

    I’ve gone with a combination forecast and tricast on Harry The Viking, Gas Line Boy and Rigadin De Beauchene… assuming three will finish!

    Fine work, Bobby, though I’ll go against you and bet Bishops Road :)

    Well done Joe, you landed a cracker there mate :good:

    Kerry Lee is on fire, well done to her and Richard Johnson rode a great
    race.

    I would have thought I could have got huge odds that neither RIGADIN or
    HARRY THE VIKING, would have finished outside the 1st 4 in this 8 runner
    race, but the writing was on the wall for HTV who didn’t travel at any
    time in the race. RIGIDAN was going well until his jumping deserted him
    and the horse threw in the towel.

    Bugger…..that’s all I can say :unsure:

    Well done Joe, decent performance in those conditions, and you just can’t knock what she’s doing just now. Second time she’s cost me a proper lift, after Russe Blanc held my lot at Warwick.

    As was pointed out on this thread Buffalo Broadway’s jumping was suspect and he just wasn’t fluent enough today. Travelled really well, just didn’t jump.

    The Kerry Lee bandwagon continues but how many more long distance slogs on heavy ground will there be this season?

    Thank you, gents. Don’t know what Miss Lee is doing, but she’s doing it right

    Bobby, commiserations to you again with your pair filling the places. I’ll guess Ms Lee isn’t on your Christmas Card list
