So. Did anyone back him today. I didn’t

Spud says that’ll tee him up nicely for the gold cup next year.

I love the veterans’ races

[Ben_Bernanke]

Great horse!

Veterans race is what’s missing at the Cheltenham Festival.

“Veterans race is what’s missing at the Cheltenham Festival.”

No need, they can just run in the Kim Muir, like Chambard; the Ultima, like Vintage Clouds; the Grand Annual, like Global Citizen or Croco Bay; the Plate like Coole Cody or even the NH chase like Rathvinden or Ravenhill.

For me the Ultima and KIm Muir are too similar, Green. I was thinking more that a Veterans chase could replace the Kim Muir. An amateur Veterans handicap chase.

I could be a lone, and curmudgeonly, voice but veteran’s races, not a fan.

A bit like “legends” football matches or exhibition darts or snooker games between has-beens.

But they do seem very popular so….

[Marlingford]

They are some of my favourite races, except they get won too often by “unexposed” ten year-olds I’ve never heard of…

There is already the excellent Veterans’ Final. It’s at Sandown in early January. Leave it there.

If you watch the race the old rogue is idling after the last threatening to chuck it away …you,ve got to love these old characters , need to make the most of them while there still here , part of me what’s to be at Ayr to see Bristol on Sat
