    yes,very good effort.so,what to make of barrows effort?never in the race,but jumped ok so far.maybe,this was a prep for something bigger in the coming weeks..i will stick by him,he owes me nothing.what do you think of snowy morning?IMO,he has all the credentials to do well this season.

    Good shout Reet.

    Briareus was a horse I liked a lot a few years and it is some training performance by Balding to bring him back against a race fit Nicholls inmate.

    He is a trainer who is getting better every year.

    yes,absolutely!last year,he made one of my rare ventures into flatracing pay,as top lock was third with martin dwyer in the german derby.but also in britain i had some success with him.btw:hows his father,does anyone know something?

    Briareus has done really well there, especially after a long time off the track, against Imsingingtheblues, who has already had a race this season.

    Very good training performance.

    yes,a wonderful comeback performance by briareus!!!if he doesnt bounce after this,he could well go on from there..

    Hi Andy, yes quite agree i thought he gave sunny brook a cracking ride on friday, he’s also rode some moderate horses into places when looked beaten, with a bit more race experience who knows? cheers

    oh yes,that was very good!i backed that one too.i can see the horse in the first race at sedgefield running a big race,what do you think?

    not a bad run,jumped ok most of the way.maybe he blew up a bit in the end.a horse to watch out for next time..now i go with ferdys horse,blue rising.the field seems not too strong,and i hope,he can give ferdy his well deserved winner after a series of placed horses in the last few weeks.

    i take a chance on skippers brig now.he has a touch of class about him,and i like lennie very much!so,if ready for business,he should run a big race.

    andy

    yeah,lennies back in the winners circuit!!very good effort by the horse after a long absence,and a welljudged ride too by wilson renwick.i hope,you were on.

    i think,torkingking represents some e/w value,because the race is easier than last time,no astarador or something in,and he did not too bad last time,is genuine and gos on the ground.good luck

    sorry,took the wrong thread…apologies from me..

    no problem,colin.i just seem to take some time to acclimatize here,but its very well navigated,so that should not take too much time.
