    Am here, Gord, hope you kept my humble pie warm :)

    Oh Joe the TAPK of old would slaughter you for that assessment of a horse but I respect your opinion far more than I used too.. :rose:

    Well that’ll soon change the form I’ve been in!

    I’m delighted for Tizzard. He’s frustrated the hell out of me at times but he’s just a bit eccentric, Did you hear him today? Said he was glad NR was so willing because he hated seeing the horse bullied along. If you recall, he said they kind of knew Cue Card was wrong in his wind, but the horse had done so much for them he didn’t want to insult it by giving it an op! :)

    Whatever he’s doing down there, he’s building a right reputation and nobody will ever pin a Mullins ‘genius’ tag on him so it’ll be interesting to see the media so baffled over his success.

    Thanks Nathan, good luck to him at that price.

    I think there is a very good race in The runner up today, a horse I hadn’t given a second thought to today. I thought he had started to hate the game, but very unlucky today to meet a good one

    Yes, indeed good luck to Vtc but I’m hoping for something else (sorry bob)… :rose:

    Good luck with that one Mathan and you’ll be pinning your hopes on Tizzard not wanting 3 for the big one. Good luck

    Thanks guys, what a buzz that was, with my 250’s on Double Ross, and my 250’s with Native River for The Hennessy/Gold Cup, I was in bits. I’ll do well to have to have a couple of 250-1 bets in contention near the finish in the future, and to have it in a race like that was unreal.

    Graham, Joe, yeah the race overall couldn’t have went much better, and I was a happy boy. It was about an hour after the race, before I even remembered I had Native River at the 16’s.

    Buckers, absolutely chuffed with the 1, 2, 4, and very happy to say that although I didn’t have Hadrians each way, I did have a few quid on Double Ross each way at 100’s, so over the moon with him.

    Peter, what can we say about Double Ross, he’s been an absolute star the last few years, and I hope you were on, I’m pretty sure you would have been :good:

    Well done Sheriff, Ginger, TAPK, Mark, Lion, & Charles on the win too. Good to see a few more on. Top rated by The Blues Brother as well, and part of a nice double on the day for Racing Orchid :good:
