    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.

    If 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.

    I’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.

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

    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. :lol:

    What meetings do you go to Volatis?

    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.

    Hey Ginger ..glad you had a good time , not so much bottled it , more so could not be bothered to do 160 mile round trip on this glorious day

    spent the day in the garden , will catch up with Ruk replays later

    Sadly these days if it aint close I dont bother …traffic and driving is not my forte any longer

    cheers
