I’ve been telling you all for years that Grayson is as straight as the M25
A chap can get paranoid, you know.

The funniest thing is he was interviewed on ATR 5 minutes before the race and said ‘I honestly believe 4 of these could win this race’. I’m just wondering how he managed to keep a straight face with Stoneacre Sarah’s odds dropping by the second.
I enjoyed the way there was a false gamble on one of them on Betfair (about 20 quid) as a smokescreen. That said, any firm who priced the race up knew the potential pitfalls.
I selected the "right" one on my website but didn’t get any of the fancy prices
never mind though at least I found the winner and thats what matters
Possibly in a similar vein, possibly not, forumites may be interested to note that Evan Williams has six of the 10 runners declared for the 0-115 novices’ chase at Huntingdon on Wednesday.
A measure taken to make sure the race doesn’t re-open, or a statement of intent to try to have the race to himself? Discuss.

It could be possible yes but as the stable has been fairly quiet of late maybe he needs races for his horses to run in and it may be case of finding a small race which will go unoticed as everyone will be concentrating on Cheltenham.
Maybe a rule should exsist on number of entries by a trainer per race but a trainer cant help what his horses will become wether it be a 5f sprinter or a 3m chaser
Five declared in an eight-runner race, four withdrawn on vet’s certs, and the remaining one held in last place.
As Messrs Luck and Mellish have just said, they are in no position to vouch for the legitimacy of the withdrawals from their remove, but it would constitute a dereliction of duty for the stewards not to at least take a good long look at what happened at Huntingdon today.

I fail to see what all the fuss is about if a trainer wants to enter loads of horses in the same race it’s his right. It’s also your right not back any of them if you feel it’s a problem. This all arises from the ridiculous notion that trainers have the faintest idea of the relative ability of their horses – dream on they’ve even less idea than jockeys.
