    Sorry, bit tasteless on my part but I didn’t know it was fatal, just looked to pull up lame. Still a very bizarre race..

    I’m with Drone on Evan Williams, I think he’s the next big NH trainer in waiting…

    As i turned 26 last week my knowledge beyond about the last 4 years is non-existent so in the time i’ve been following it i’d say O’Brien…

    I think I tipped HRE on here before the coventry but subsequently backed hellvelyn on someone’s advice and watching the video.. Personally I think Hellvelyn is very good but I could be wrong

    Nothing wrong with it in principle but he’s being a bit righteous… and disrespectful.

    Craig was a really nice fella and if he banned this Ian chap then he would have done for good reason. And yes, fair play he’s offering to keep the site going, I don’t have any issue with that but I have got an issue with flagrant abuse of someone elses id and the "none of you lot are putting your hands in your pockets but I am look at me" attitude. … It’s almost like little man syndrome. It’s bad taste

    I agree that a lot of this is unnecessary..

    For me this forum keeps me entertained at work, makes me laugh and educates me. I hope it continues.

    I think ethically there is something with the concept of a banned member running the site but ultimately i am all for progress.

    Gareth, if there is a disclaimer as part of the reg process, I think under the DPA if the company was still TRF limited they’d be entitled to that data…

    I think 5 furlongs is her trip… I couldn’t make it yesterday so had to watch a replay and I thought she was going to at least place 2f out as she seemed to be travelling, but after getting cut up she emptied quite quickly. She’s showed enough speed to suggest that with a decent start she’s win a 5f

    You could say that the straight perhaps wasn’t long enough and hearts cry had the turn of foot to nullify DI’s finishing speed, Take looks like he expected to win turning in as he was sitting still..

    But I agree FSL not really much excuse fo the defeat… which is a little disappointing really after watching the other videos you expect it to win doing handsprings

    I think they’ll play Figo in the Deco role and bring in Simao to play wide, then bring in tiago to replace costinha.. If England could have picked one player to be missing i’m pretty sure it would have been Deco..

    I think if they play 4-5-1 again they need to stop Figo getting on the ball. If they can do that it will stifle their creativity. Ronaldo will probably try and score several wonder goals and fail miserably and I don’t think Simao is quite up to it.. Defensively though I think portugal are underrated.. It will be a hard game and I wouldn;t be surprised if it went the distance..

    Sh!t the roof, some horse…

    Can’ think he can give the worlds best that kind of lead in the arc but it’s like there’s a nitrous button or something!

    Leopoldine (finished second in Taj’s maiden) run fourth in a listed sprint saturday after walking a 5f maiden previously. Taj was running against some decent animals first time up so with normal improvement she should be up to winning a maiden..

    I think your watching a different guy FSL. Villa is quicker over 10 yards than Torres, he’s more like Robbie Fowler was when he first broke into the liverpool team.

    Torres is over-rated in my opinion… If he comes to England i’d be surprised if he scores more than 15 in a season

    Personally i’d have David Villa over Torres. I think he will get a lot more goals than Torres in the premiership, particularly if he plays alongside crouch.

    It’s "obliged" isn’t it! Compass protactors, oblique angles, all a bit too much like a maths lesson to me..
