    2 winners from 23 runners in the past two weeks with eight entered tomorrow. Only one of them is priced up 10s or higher.

    Best trainer in the country, but Dan has to be to compensate for his brother riding the horses. Not that any British jump jockeys are amazing, but I’d love to see the yard with a proper number 1 rather than an entirely nepotistic (is it nepotism when it’s your brother rather than your son?) appointment.

    He should be having winners just like Nicholls does at this time of the year. But none of his owners really seems to bother.

    I think Grey Dawning might be my favourite horse in training just now!

    He’s absolutely gorgeous and got the heart of a lion to go with a ton of ability!

    That made my heart skip a beat! :heart:

    Also nice to see Harry stick the horse through a gap. Trying to go round the outside then would have cost the horse the race!

    N.b I never had a cent on it! Was just a great race to watch!

    Back to their normal form: 0 from 18 this Friday and Saturday. Harry almost got boxed in on Pikar with only one hurdle to jump, then he finished very fast, but came only third.

    Stupid piece of flag waving and also bad piece of riding from Harry on Alnadam. It surely cost him about 4-5 lenghts, but those morons just holding a flag in their hand and not even waving it like a flag should be banned from a racecourse for the rest of their lives.

    Kielan Woods was good on Third Time Lucki. Skelton should use him more.

    How did Skelton manage to get Hartur D’Oudairies beaten?

    Another pathetic Saturday for them with 0 winners from 10 runners and five of them finishing second. The one in the Bumper had no chance against the King hotpot and ran very promising. Knight in Dubai should have won with a better jockey aboard.

    Hope Harry gets a ban for Cheltenham. The stable surely has a few well handicapped horses, but they still need a proper jockey. Every year just the same problems….. 4 form 35 in the past 14 days.

    Harry Skelton rides a winner on his first ride back.

    Mick Fitzgerald says “The punters love him”.

    Really? I have seldom heard a punter have a good word to say about him.

    Advice for a more fulfilled life Cork – avoid or ignore anything Mick fitz says in public. I’m sure he would be good company down the pub but talks utter predictable nonsense most the time
