    He’s back!!!

    Shoulders top weight in the last at Goodwood tomorrow and is favourite in the overnight prices.

    Someone clearly retains the faith.

    Someone I miss (though I don’t think he can have too many complaints about his red card), because I thought we personally had good banter here, will surely be rooting for Goshen on the Sussex Downs tomorrow.

    I, however, wouldn’t back Goshen with someone else’s money.

    I’m not someone who backs 13/8 shots, but this price for a G1 hurdler running in a Class 4 two mile Flat race is actually pretty fair. We never know how quirky he might be around this track, but going right-handed for the most part of the race could be in his favour.

    Good luck Goshen backers!

    Re the aforementioned missing poster, if he should happen to be reading this, then I’d like to say that I too miss his often very witty contributions, and I hope he is doing well.

    I’d emphasise this is not a comment on his being blocked or any events that led up to this. I just wanted to say I hope he is doing OK.

    Fingers crossed for Goshen :-)

    The reported bit for inappropriate comments are an automatic function which comes up from time to time.
    Nobody reports it, it just happens.

    All of Goshen’s 3 flat wins have been by decent margins. It is the longest flat trip he’s attempted to win, going past the 14f he has won over twice.
    Its not much of a price but he’ll love not having to think about jumping hurdles. He’ll love rolling downhill and looks potentially the class horse in this race having competed at such a decent level in national hunt.
    He can have my two quid.
    Then he can go to ascot!

    He still looks very tricky, especially with company around him.

    Anyone who backed that horse at odds on should just set up a direct debit payable to a bookmaker and cut out the middle man.

    This is a case where an affordability check would make sense prior to the start of the race.

    Trawl back through this thread and I’ve proved myself very reliable in the Goshen insult department.

    I shouldn’t add to it, as TTC is no longer here to defend him, but I refer you all to CAS’s remark above.

    Spot….on.

    I’d like to think the powers that be could afford all blocked members at least a second chance.
    Pilsen/Tank was a multiple case but TTC was a first time offence as far as I know and I wouldn’t have any issues in welcoming him back. Sometimes heat of the moment things can happen. I certainly didn’t cover myself in any glory during our spat

    That is very gracious and magnanimous of you, Nathan, and shows what a gentleman and a quality individual you are, though I’m sure we all knew that already.

    Absent his contentious behaviour during the aforementioned spat, TRF was a better place with TTC around.

    Nathan’s post shows a lot of class. In view of his stance therein it would be good if a way could be found to reinstate TTC. He could be cast as the Prodigal Son. It’ll give us all a chance to eat some fatted calf sandwiches.

    I was dismayed to learn that there is no mention of roast potatoes or Yorkshire pudding on the feast menu. Or mint sauce. I can’t possibly eat fatted calf without these vital accompaniments so that breaks the deal for me.

    Maybe there’s something wrong with Goshen that medical science can’t fathom. It’s happened before.
