    Just got this email from Godolphin about their new comp….. interesting changes.

    New season, new line-up, new Fantasy Stable League look! To get you off to an exhilarating start in 2026, we’re introducing even more ways for you to win.

    From the off, you’ll get the opportunity to make five swaps every month – and another five during a series of big racing events throughout the season, starting with the Guineas Festival and Kentucky Derby, both on 1 May. Take advantage of this thrilling swaps bonanza to get ahead of the field.

    At first glance, the changes seem positive – so I will certainly be giving it a try!

    Thanks for that Andre it looks much more competitive than just having 5 swaps to last through until October :wacko:
    We can post up our scores throughout the competition and I’ll post the leaders at the end of each month. :rose: Jac

    Another tragedy, this time at Aintree……

    RIP Gold Dancer :cry:

    I think Paul Townend made a terrible decision to continue riding after the jump at last. Surely he knew the horse was badly injured after that jump, where he appeared to stumble and lose his back legs. How the horse continued to run/race after that is beyond me.

    I’m done with racing for today.

    Have to Agree with you Andre, and I think after that sprawling, at best he
    would have pulled muscles but a big danger was that worse had been done.
    I think Townend saw the winning line was close. If it had been an unimportant
    race at Down Royal, he would have pulled him up right away. Only he knows
    what he did, but I think it will lie heavy with him. Such a sad thing to see.

    I was screaming for the jockey to pull him up. I don’t usually watch them jump a fence but I had my usual WHill racing radio/screen on along with the tv because of the few seconds delay and it all seemed to happen so quickly and confusingly. I seem to remember Ruby having last fence falls when he rode for Mullins; I think there’s a huge pressure on the top jockeys to win. It’s been a rotten few days hasn’t it.

    Graham..Sorry to hear that you’ve been back and forth to hospital again. Hope all is a bit better now and also that Marjorie is keeping well :heart:

    Chris’s wife Helen is running in London’s half marathon on Sunday for Farleigh Hospice where she is a District Nurse. She’s been training so hard and really buzzing to go. We’ll all be at finishing point to welcome her back.. :rose:

    Good luck with your Grand National choices tomorrow..I think Panic Attack will win it for the girls. :good: and Twig will get a place. :good:

    PLEASE let them all come home safely. :heart: Jac x

    Bloody hell Big man hope it all goes well
    Back to work next week with the Craven meeting can’t wait getting excited Jac? :yahoo:
    Big boxing card tonight played a few bets (some again my expert son is taking Micky out of)
    Back 4 main fights not to go distance in a small acca
    Think Benn will get job done early but prices are dire so no play, fight at 150lb Benn will come in about 157 oppo never thought above 142 and rumours of camp not good.
    The het son laughing at is at heavyweight backed RR 10/3 rounds 1-6 and 1-3 at 10s, another small bet on fury oppo at 9/2 on outright.
    Bloody hell it’s like war and peace I have written, good luck today and let’s hope all runners riders come back safe and sound :good:

    Wow Nick what a great post and thanks for the heads up on the Benn fight.
    Where is the best place to watch it on TV..
    Best of luck with your National bets today . :good:
    Our family have 4 x main players but I’ll only be watching once I know they have all come home safely. :rose: 🙏 🐎
    Our 4 x horses…

    Twig
    Panic Attack
    Haiti Couleurs
    Oscar’s Brother

    Personally would love TWIG to win. He cost just £100 and is proven over the course and distance being 10th last year.

    Going to Newmarket on Thursday for the Craven and I can’t wait..so excited to be back. Tuesday Dave has a hospital appointment and Wednesday I am on an IT course so Thursday my only chance to go. I will post up any clues I see in the paddock..need all the help I can get. :yes:

    Have a good day everyone especially in rhe competitions and bring all the horses home safely :rose: Jac x

    Thanks Jac and Nick, and good luck with boxing :good:

    I don’t know what’s coming next, I actually thought things
    were on the way up. It was my Daughter in Law that talked
    me into phoning 111. Afterspeaking to a few I was sent to
    Hospital. So, it’s just getting more confusing. On top of
    whatever else it seems that high Potasium and Diabetes have
    thrown their hats into the ring. What the feck :unsure:

    Sorry to hear that Graham it seems as if it’s not one thing then the other…we just have to put our trust in those treating us and carry on but it’s tough..we’re all here for you. :heart:

    Nick. Thanks for that :good: we have Netflix and Dave will enjoy watching Benn tonight.. best of luck with those bets.

    Lastly. I keep having flashes of
    Hauti Couleurs romping home in the National …
    I have him in my 4 but Im just about to put another bet on him. It’s weird but I do follow my instincts. :good:
    Just want them all home safely win or lose…
    I’ll be glad when it’s over..but honestly what a great field of runners they are. :heart:

    Had to also do Oscar’s Brother for our little Oscar even though he doesn’t have a brother…yet :rose: Jac

    Really enjoyed the fight Nick as you say lovely tribute paid to Ricky Hatton by Tyson. Glad he won and look forward to the next one. Well done for getting your bet up. :yahoo:

    All my horses went down today but so happy all horses came home safely after the race there were some awful falls and thoughts are with the injured jockey Robbie Dunne, hope he is ok after his fall.

    Look forward to discussing the flat again. Roll on the Crsven. :yahoo: Take care..Jac :rose:
