    The much-missed Shergar Cup guru Captain Robbo has been in touch with Chezza over login issues, evidently confusing Chezza with the owner of TRF.

    A massive case of mistaken identity if ever there was one.

    Not to worry.

    “The Good Captain” wishes to inform the TRF massive that Stattler WILL win the Cheltenham Gold Cup this afternoon.

    Chezza reckons it’s about as likely as Chezza being invited to become a moderator of this great website, but Chezza passes on the tip anyway.

    We need Captain Robbo back for the Shergar Cup!

    Login issue would be that he is banned 🚫

    The Sugar cup will never be the same again without him

    Oh and he said he hates Hughesey!

    Alright, he didn’t, but Chezza reckons he was thinking about it!

    I miss the Captain. That Shergar Cup thread was one of the best ever. Quite an achievement to make one of the worst Saturdays of the year fun and interesting.

    I hope TTC is OK as well.

    Captain Robbo is not “banned”.

    He last activity on “TRF” 18 months ago.

    “I hope TTC is OK as well.”

    Ditto – a rough diamond with many admirable qualities in my book.

    Admin Matron – I think he came back under another name and got banned

    The Captain seems to love his slow horses – Stattler & Elegant Escape.

    Anyone who can make the Shergar Cup seem interesting is alright by Chezza.

    The good Captain was not banned but possibly burned himself out.

    The Captain was on steroids he just blew himself up.
    TTC looked over the edge
    and was sucked in.
    It’s eggshell territory ando
    nightmares are made of it.
    The least penance is a slap and four hail Marys
    the worst is the stretcher machine and death by excommunication.
    Exile is a rather lonely place – eh Razer ?
    Easy to get carried away with multiple words at ones disposal.
    Most tread carefully enough and keep their heads – the odd outburst is possibly inevitable.

    The Captain was a very good read and one of a rare bunch who go off script. I wish him well, and would hope he makes a return, and so chooses to meander back into baa baa land.

    He was never one you could accuse of sitting on the fence. It perhaps led him to throw good money after bad at times but I think you have to have some respect for anyone prepared to put their opinions out there like that.

    100%.

    Nothing bores me more about than people who sit on the fence.

    If you’re terrified of ever being wrong, both betting and internet forums are not for you.

    I don’t care if people get it wrong – EVERYONE gets it wrong sometimes if they’re actually honest – and I don’t care if people disagree (even with me, especially with me, in fact, I need a bunch of “yes men” around me like I need a hole in the head).

    It’s a game of opinions and differing opinions make both the betting market and internet forum.

    The Shergar Cup was hitherto the most boring day’s racing of the year – including the one time I attended (the 80s gig after was the highlight of the whole day) – and Captain Robbo absolutely brought it to life in 2021.
