    I must admit I am no fan of Geraghty and the ride he gave BVD was poor. Regardless of the injury BVD got it was a poor ride.
    However what I cannot understand is how the racing press seem to blame Champ rather that Geraghty. The horse got him out of trouble but blaming poor Champ in my eyes was poor. It’s not that he’s never ridden there before.
    Personally I don’t bet on horses that he rides I try and find an angle against him. It works more often that not.

    It’s all about opinions ham. He is 21% Murphy 20% so little in it.
    I still think he’s been jocked off though.

    Must say talking horses forum looks confusing to me and banks are no better. Had my accoun hacked for £2000 several years ago. Got it back in fairness eventually.
    Sadly most crime is on line these days you’ve been subjected to a crime sadly but PP should refund you

    Aiden O’Brien as half the field and no one bats an eyelid, yet Gigginstown have half the runners in a race and every man and his dog are up in arms complaining. Why? What is the difference. No wonder O’Leary is calling it a day when no one seems to like what he does yet O’Brien does the same and he is almost applauded for it.
    Anyway it makes the race boring in my eyes.

    Forget all that 9 meetings this Saturday. Surely that is at least 3 to many.

    Alan King’s horses are running poorly. Dingo Dollar was beat after 5 fences. Yes I know he had a winner later on on the flat but overall something is wrong. Virus maybe? Who knows. Be interesting what happens with his horse in the first tomorrow at Cheltenham but on the basis that there is something wrong I am on the Webber horse as it looks a 2 horse race.

    Alan King at the minute. Horses running poorly.
    Tom George too.

    I would have said Redicean too however King’s horses are running so poorly at the minute that I will side step him. However he could be thrown in.

    I dislike the TV angles that SSR do via their vehicle like. RTV do not do it unless ITV are showing the same card then they seem to follow suit. I have no idea why.
    I want to watch every horse jump a hurdle/fence not the first few and at such a bad angle.
    Maybe I am old fashioned but I want to watch every horse in the race. Personally I think SSR and ITV are poor only because of their viewing angles though.
    If you subscribe to RTV surely you have an i-pad/compuer/smart phone and so when they have several races close just log on and watch live from your selected track. I think it’s excellent.

    Shame it’s trained by Colin Tizzard and not NTD

    I didn’t see the race but if you had seen Paul Townend get beat on the odds on Pont Aven in Ireland you would have been gobsmacked. I have never seen a poorer ride in a long time.

    Many thanks for clearing that up and yes you are right he should be careful how he says things. I have never heard anyone say that in that meaning. Maybe it’s an Irish thing.
