Nap – Old Park Star (Supreme)
Lay – Lossiemouth (Champion)
Each-way – Manganese (Triumph)
Looking at the final line up and the fact that the last hurdle has been put back a bit, I think The New Lion will be my selection. Provided he doesn’t get too distracted by the white hurdles, he’ll be most strongest at the finish.
Jamies Spencer’s ride on La Botte in the 2:42 Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton. Held the horse up in last place and left it far too late. Should’ve won that. Really p****d off with that jockey now. Needs to retire. Pratt!
I started off with Scorpio Rising and Mondo Man … pisspot Spencer wrecks it.
Waiting for Lune Brilliante now…
“have a feeling we maybe starting a Old Park Star thread shortly”
Go for it. There’s a lot to like about that horse. Looks a chaser. Reminds me a bit of Sprinter Sacre.
I think Greenasgrass could be onto something with the wacko Anzadam. Surely with updated software, all the nuts ‘n’ bolts, hissing pistons, sparking sensors, swings ‘n’ pendulums, jerky gears and temperamental hydraulics, perhaps everything will fall into place cometh the day. Rise of the machine!
Watching Constitution Hill effortlessly storming away from his rivals at Southwell confirmed he still has an abundance of zip still buzzing inside him. He looked in his element. He needs to stay with the Flat for his wellbeing and, ultimately, his life.
A big No from me.
Here are specific examples of things made to be easier but are often a hindrance:
Touchscreen Interfaces: Using touchscreens for essential, quick-access functions like volume or climate control in cars is dangerous and distracting while driving.
“Smart” Kitchen Appliances: Devices like smart mugs that require an app or Bluetooth connection to tell you when a drink is cool enough, complicating a simple, intuitive task.
Over-packaged Goods: Plastic “clamshell” packaging or complex seals that cause “wrap rage” and require tools to open, defeating the purpose of quick access.
Motion Sensor Fixtures: Automatic toilets, soap dispensers, and hand dryers in public restrooms often have weak sensors, forcing users to wave their hands repeatedly.
Complex TV Remotes: Remotes with too many buttons designed for “functionality” actually make basic navigation confusing.
Self-Checkout Machines: Often cause delays with “unexpected item in bagging area” errors, requiring human intervention, making it slower than a cashier.
Modern Door Handles: “Push/Pull” handles that are ambiguous, making it unclear how to open the door, a small inefficiency that causes daily annoyance.
The list could easily go on but, let’s face it, white, padded hurdles fit into this category.
What a double that’d be … Champion Hurdle and Ascot Gold Cup! Has it even been achieved before?
“Don’t think anybody expected that. ”
I did.
What I didn’t expect was the amount of negativity and half-baked posts about the horse.
Hope the horse goes on to reach the top again whatever path he takes.
Myretown has the potential to rip this field to shreds. Like others have said, comes with risks attached … but I’m taking a chance on him. Moth to a flame I am!
Short Track Speed Skating … what’s the point? Surely has to be a serious contender for the most unfair sport
