hello andy,
thank you for responding.I’ll watch it again later but I thought he hit him about 23 times from the 2nd last, although some might have been flicks but I didn’t think it looked good really.
An in form Katchit has nothing to worry about from this, would you agree?
NH supporters are a hardier breed I think.
yes,very possibly so,but you never know with these old fighters,maybe,he still has a big one in him.but to be fair,the pace was not that fast,so what the forms worth,i dont know..but i honestly dont care today about pace,below par efforts and all that.today was again one of these days,that show,that anything is possible,and it was a very emotional moment to savour!!have a nice evening and see you all tomorrow!
andy
still there indeed but not without considerable assistance from the saddle, which to my eye seemed quite excessive, but NH enthusiasts tend to turn a blind eye to this sort of thing.

Great to see Hardy win that one. Sizing Europe looked very good on his reappearance. Jered, well, hmmm
well guys,i am close to tears!these are the races that stay in the memory for a very long time.wonderful to see the old fighting spirit is still there.

I adore this man and have done since Captain Dibble won Ayr’s showpiece back in ’92. No one and I mean no one deserves the success he is having more than he.
When you speculate on one of his horses and it doesn’t pay you don’t feel let down because when NTD sends a horse out you know it will leave nothing on the track. If it doesn’t win it’s simply because there were better horses on the day. There’s none of this "he will come on for the run" so ubiquitous a statement with other trainers because NTD has them as fit and ready as he can every single time.
I can’t help single out the likes of Jonjo O’Neil, a trainer with everything at his fingertips, no expense spared and the wealthiest of landlords behind him and yet for Lord knows how long his horses continue to frustrate, just look at his recent stats on the RP sit
Oh! NTD you are indeed the punters friend because we trust you implicitly.
yes,absolutely right!this is a fine piece of trainership to bring on a horse,so young and inexperienced to win the PP.yes, i remember captain dibble very well too.well done nigel,good luck for the future!!
but,BTW,i already plan to do a weekly column here in an own thread,so your problem should be solved.i just thought,i tell my opinion and share it with others(thats why it is a forum..),but dont want to bother anyone…good luck,
andy
Andy…do me a favour and keep your selections on a separate thread please.
15th November 2008
1-50 Punchestown – Trafford Lad
1-55 Great Leighs – Thin Red Line
7-50 Wolverhampton – Dome Rocketahm…ok,but why should i?…is that one reserved for you?i cant remember to have read anything that tells me to do so…
andy
big chance,yes,but i have the suspicion,it is not as clear,as it may look.razor royale is a very good horse,but the dark one could well be dream garden,as the bealby team is doing very well at the moment,especially with its chasers.also,the charlie mann horse and the irish raider are not to dismiss lightly.but,based on the aforementioned trainer form and my liking for the smaller stables,i go with dream garden each way.if you need another marker:mark bradburne is riding out of his skin also at the moment..
good luck,
andy
Another shambles today. Does anyone actually have any interest in this nonsense?
hi smithy!yes,i definitely have,and theres quite a simple reason:pure excitement!and that is,IMO,what jumps racing is all about.
andy
the first at cheltenham is very,very difficult to assess,as nearly all of them have chances for various reasons,but after going through the forms,i will go with nina carberrys ride,aggies lad.the horse has a fresh,unexposed profile,tony martin is an absolute master of his profession(especially in these races..)but the main reason for me is the last form:three horses improved a lot after that race,namely drumconvis,fond of a drop and merchant paddy.so,to me,that is the best piece of form in the race.from the older ones,i think that,at the head of the handicap,king harald could run a big race from the front.he is a sound jumper,which is always good in these races,very honest,goes well fresh,trip/ground are ok,so big chance for me.but as i said,i stick with nina and aggies lad.good luck,mates

Not looked at the decs yet but here we go, 7 months or so of the best racing in the world.
National Hunt racing, nothing else comes close.
hi neil!!very much dito on that,theres nothing more pulseraising than N:H: racing.i enjoy every single day of it.good luck today,
stefan
yes,two flops in a row..but hey,it can only get better,right?any opinion for the bumper?..
now i give the second choice of the mullins horses a chance,she has a very good profile,and IMO david casey is not an inch worse than ruby.so,well see
