Meydan Thursdays

[He Didnt Like Ground]

Glad your getting out Big G , fingers crossed you get a few winners on Sat , some proper horses out over Fri and Sat esp in ireland

[Euroalien]

Sorry to hear you’re back in the hospital Graham! Hopefully by the time you read this you’ll be back home relaxing, watching some racing from Cheltenham, finding a few good priced winners! Take good care of yourself!

Mydaddypaddy looked very impressive Graham – I think you have a good one there!!

I like the idea behind your “Silver Army” Jac. Hopefully L’Eau du Sud can create an upset and topple the mighty Jonbon for you today.

Good Luck everyone with any bets and all your comp selections this weekend!

[BigG]

Aaargh All ready to go and packed up this morning when they decide they want another ECG….and then another one. More bloods and if I get home it will be later on and depend on the results. I mean, I was in the starting stalls until the starter waved the “no start” flag. So near

[BigG]

Bored silly laying here so I realised Cheltenham started today. I’ve decided to chance an e/w on Imperfectantlyperfect in the 3.30 even although I hate using my phone for this. I saw a bit of the last race. How on earth did that jockey hold on on the horse that was 3rd at the last fence. Brilliant stuff by the Jockey 🏇

Imperfectantlylperfect 33/1 Bet 365

Good luck everyone

[Triptych]

Oh Graham that was a disappointment just as you were ready to fly out of the gates. Hope your Cheltenham bets come good today and the comps go well over the weekend…

Meanwhile… back at Cheltenham I’ve just come out from behind the sofa to witness
L’eau Du Sud winning the Schloer Chase very impressively with a magnificent round of jumping…
I honestly never expected him to improve that much and he’s earnt his hay tonight in the Silver Army stables.

[Euroalien]

Sorry you got held up by a false start Graham – better safe than sorry my friend. Hopefully you’ll be on your way soon!

I was just going to say, what a run by L’Eau du Sud – well done Jac! With so many on Jonbon, I can’t say I’m disappointed at the result! Your Silver Army is a force to be reckoned with! It’s a shame you didn’t have No Drama This End in your ten as well. What an impressive win.

Take Care All!!

[Triptych]

Thanks Andre
L’eau du Sud has certainly stepped up since his last run and he put on a flawless jumping display this afternoon. ❤️ Hope he goes on to bigger things. Jonbon certainly doesn’t go at Cheltenham but did stay on to finish 2nd.

Yes, it was a proper grey day at Cheltenham today with the wonderful Eldorado Allen winning, then L’eau du Sud followed by No Drama This End.
I think I must put him on my ‘steal list’ when the transfer window comes round next year. Jac x

Good luck tomorrow everyone.

Big G you should have ditched your doctor and bolted for the stable sorry hospital door , seriously hope your home soon

[Euroalien]

Three of my ten go tomorrow…….

Kopek Des Bordes, Marine Nationale & The Yellow Clay

With a bit of luck I’ll be getting a lot closer to you Jac!

Good Luck Everyone

[John Gooch]

Hi everyone I hope that all is well with all of you.

BigG – Sorry to hear that you are back in hospital
but remember that they have your best interests at
the centre of the decisions they make and that they
work to a totally different clock to the outside world.

You will be back home soon. How is Marjorie coping with
all this worry?

All the best for now

[Triptych]

Wow Andre. 3 really good horses..Best of luck I’ll be cheering them home for you.

I have one runner in the Paddy Power Gold Cup tomorrow and he’s not without a chance even though he’s trading at 18/1 at the moment. He’s trained by Ben Pauling and I think he’s well thought of in the yard, his name is . Bad he’s a lovely looking little grey who seems to enjoy his jumping.
and I’m hoping he’ll run better than his name.. Jac

[BigG]

Thanks guys for all the well wishes, it’s much appreciated
John, Marjorie is doing fine, my sister was keeping an eye on her whilst
I was in hospital. I got out (eventually) last night and I’m
feeling a million times better than I was at the start of the week,
and the 2 weeks before that to be honest. Loving sitting here
watching Cheltenham although I don’t know what the hospital
doctor would say about me scoffing a pork pie.

I didn’t have any luck in the Paddy Power, in truth I missed
the 1st couple as I was asleep. I’ve got Long Draw who is running
in this one at the moment so I’ll give it a watch

Best of luck everyone and well done Jac with L’eau Du Sud, your’e
off and running in the TTF

[BigG]

Left myself too late with the gee gees, didn’t get a look at them
until 15 mins before the Paddy Power and rightfully got duly humped.
Still a bit knackered after this week, but I had a bit more time to
have a look at the US PGA Golf tonight and it managed to pull me out
of a hole (again) …..

CONGRATS! 🤑
YOU HAVE WON £225.00

Adam Schenk
14/1
3rd Round Leader – 3rd Round Leader
12:20 15 November 2025
Stake
£30.00
Returns
£225.00

He would have been the outright 3rd round leader if his co-leader didn’t hit a flukey eagle
at the par 5 17th. His drive was in the rough about 2 feet from the water, manages to get it
onto the top of the green, then rolls it in from about 40 ft Halved the prize but I’ve
got him at 16/1, same stake, to win outright and he’s currently generally 4/1 favourite. Plenty
of wind tomorrow though and half a dozen within 1 shot, so it’s no gimmie.

[Triptych]

Glad to hear you are now home and feeling a bit better Graham..keep those feet up and keep studying your Golf Tournaments they are doing you the world of good 👍

What a disappointment that Navan was called off this Saturday and so many decent horses missed their chance to shine.
I’ve no doubt I wouldn’t be sitting at the top of the TTF Leaderboard this morning if Andre’s 3 cracking horses had run..but all their races will be rescheduled on more suitable ground and it’s just a matter of time so keep the faith.

All good wishes to Marjorie Graham..Jac x

[Euroalien]

Glad you’re back home Graham and finding some golfing winners I hope Schenk wins it all for you on Sunday!

Seeing Navan called off was a disappointment – I think Saturday’s racing has been moved to Monday, although Marine Nationale has been withdrawn, because of the ground. Final Demand goes in the 15:07 at Navan today, so fingers crossed for him!

I hope everyone is doing well! A rare Sunday off, which means I can get out in the garden and clean up the mountain of leaves that have fallen from neighbors trees, into MY garden!

Take Care All

[BigG]

Thanks so much Jac and I’ll be sure to hand that on to Marjorie. At
least we are home together even if it’s a bit like the blind leading
the blind

It is a pity about Navan I would have watched that so instead I decided
to have a go on the last day at the European golf tournament. Thank God
for my golf……

YOU HAVE WON £366.83

Matt Fitzpatrick
13/2
Win – Win

Stake
£48.91
Returns
£366.83

I wouldn’t normally put that much on but it was the remainder above
the hundreds.

I’ve still got Adam Schenk in the Bermuda Championship tonight, but that’s
just a bonus now if he wins.

Having a look at Cheltenham, it’s hard to get away from Venitia William’s
Tanganyika,in the 2.55, but he’s quite short in the market. I wonder if there
is a bit yet to come from Martin Pipe’s 2nd season chaser Lady Balko. Might be
worth a bit of E/W at 33/1 with Paddy (who hates me at the moment )

[BigG]

Lady Balko ran well enogh for a while, obviously needed that
1st run under her belt.

In the 3.30 I suppose I’m duty bound to have a bet on Alexei. I
have him on my tracker where I wrote
“Joe Tizzard says he is “thrown in” with his mark on the flat.
Jockey says the horse has quickened this season over jumps but
7lbs up for his last jumps win.”

I’d rather he was taking in a flat race but he seems to be improving anyway

3.30 Cheltenham – Alexei 100/30 Paddy Power
