    Chezza haters lacking a co-ordinated strategy thus far – but give them time!

    Not even the shrewd clock watchers anticipated that start from Ben, himself included!

    If only you had voted for yourself Ben
    You’d be on the home turn
    1/5 in running on Nathbet

    Haha I’m not an advocate of voting for myself, though doesn’t bother me if other people don’t follow suit.

    At 1/5 I’d probably lay that and throw the race myself!

    Hughesey carved Chezza right up on the first bend, stitched and boxed Chezza right up like a kipper, and looks like Ben’s got an unassailable advantage.

    It’s just a question of who gets second and joins Ben in the Final.

    “Question?”

    Is Chezza having a laugh?

    Who wins EVERY Chezza v Hughesey head to head?

    Chezza will give you a clue – it’s not Chezza!

    Chezza hates Hughesey!

    I’m a non smoker, but if I did I would be like that jockey in the old Hamlet cigar advert, from Benson & Hedges the mild cigar as they used to say.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    There’s nothing wrong with Red Rum 77’s performance so far that a gelding operation and a drop to A9 graded company can’t put right – he’s still got a race in him.

    Maybe a step up to the marathon trip needed for RedRum, there’s still plenty of time for him to turn into the new Scurlough Champ

    I Just to let you know that I voted, but not for myself, Chezza or Hughes as that would be playing favourites. My attempt was a joke anyway but thought someone might have voted. It’s all a tight-knitted community anyway.

    Red Rum 77 currently has “null points,”
    as they say in Eurovision: “Oh dear, how sad, never mind.” (It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum).

    Let’s focus on what REALLY matters here – Chezza is also staring elimination in the face!

    Ben’s off his face on God knows what and is winning by half the track and the perennially annoyingly popular Hughesey is just poised to deprive Chezza of his rightful place in the final by sneaking into second place at the death!

    Vote Chezza if you’re a true lover of poetry (and, err, narcissists)!

    And why was I made a 1/5 false favourite? Talk about getting a man’s hopes up! I was once a Jedi. Now I’m thinking of turning to the dark side…

    “Ben’s off his face on God knows what and is winning by half the track”

    It was kept under wraps but after being chased out of the horse racing scene Ronan McNally took up training duties on me recently, the feeds been tasting different too and has been keeping me up all night but I won’t complain.
