I’d love to come along and meet some of the troops but there are two problems:-
1. The estimated driving time to Newbury from my home is 11 hours 11 minutes.
2. I can’t drive.
The joys of living far from civilisation.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

April 22, 2014 at 21:02 #476582If the ground does come up on the soft side it could be interesting considering Cape Peron, Olympic Glory and Top Notch Tonto all have entries.

May 16, 2014 at 18:54 #479190TAPK will be there from 11am to sign autographs……Jus so long as I dont fall off my Triumph Bonneville approaching 2 out.
May 16, 2014 at 19:43 #479194I’ve just double checked the train times and I have to change at Reading so I will be due in at Newbury at 11.45am just in time for a quick snack of ginger biscuits washed down with a half pint of ginger beer before meeting the gingertipster and co.
I just seen todays c4 interview with Richard Hannon at York when asked about Olympic Glory and he paused, hesitated and stuttered his way through his answer. Having backed Hannon for the trainers title I hope he runs well but at the prices I have to side with his other runner Montiridge with the master on board.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026

Nice to know I’ve got a couple of fans Joni.
Mind you, you wait until they’re old enough to hear my Table Of Odds And Chances speech. They won’t like me then.

Such a shame you bottled out Ricky. Could’ve showed you how easy it is to make a profit out of this game.

Only myself, Nathan and Gord in the end. Gord will be along later with some photos of our fight.
Good fun was had by all, well, may be not all of us all the time… Think I confused Nathan with percentages – and he never came back after that.

Am a regular at Newbury, Salisbury and Goodwood and if anyone wants to meet up at any of those then give me a call. Always good to meet TRF members old and new.
