    Keeping an eye on the weather forecast Jac.

    If it looks like rain then no we won’t be going but if it stays dry we will be there!!

    Looks like thundery showers, that should see Stormy Antartic home and hosed then :wacko:
    Enjoy the racing with Mrs Raymo in front of the TV with lots of CAKES :good: Jac

    I’ve resized it here Jac, not sure if that will make much difference

    @Nathan
    It still didn’t like it Nathan and came out the same as the last picture, so I edited it to a square picture closer to the eye.. I think it was the length of the shot that was causing it to cut off the bottom part.
    Thanks for your help Nathan, if Gord has a square version of this shot maybe he could send it to me, but if not I’m more than happy with my new Avatar. :heart: Jac

    I can square the original up a bit guys but it will only look like Jacs does now if I do..that shot Naths done should work via Tiny pics set to ‘Message board’ though.

    Lets hope Ryan makes all on him in the next too!

    @middle-of-march
    Thanks MOM it was great to see two Craven winners battling it out at the finish :good:

    I think you can see how much I love this horse as I’ve peppered the whole Thread with the lovely head shot that TAPK sent me :heart: and made him my Avatar…would have felt a bit daft if he had lost.. :whistle:

    Good luck for the last week of the jumps in my competition this Saturday.Jac :rose:

    What a great race, as said to have 2 Craven winners fighting it out and the death.

    I can’t find Lockinge betting anywhere though, I’d be intrigued to see how Kool Kompany is priced up. I’d liked to have seen Stormy turn up as well but I heard they’re heading to Hong Kong instead.

    Stormy should go well in Hong Kong, lots of thunderstorms dotted around in the Summer months I hear, hope he does well over there, keep us posted Charles. :good:

    Quote from Richard Hannon after the race re where Kool Kompany runs next:-

    “The Group Two bet365 Mile at Sandown looks the next obvious race as we’ll build backwards from the Queen Anne and the Lockinge, too.”

    Seems ambitious but this horse never ceases to surprise. :rose: Jac
