    If punters are loosing thousands on Jackdaws horses should they not have the cop on to stop them selves. John Jo does as he is told and then JP decides with Frank Berry wether the horse trys or not.

    "Not Today T"
    Anybody that thinks otherwise is gullible.

    How did Racing Demon get the reputation he had. He was never much better than average.

    AP McCoy

    This is a man built like a machine, in complete control of his own body. Pain is not a barrier to this man. Unless it is physically impossible for AP to ride he will be there present and correct. Never will a horse he is on lack assistance from the saddle. This is a man who has re-written all record books and set new standards. He has raised the bar so high that now nobody can even compete with him for the championships.

    Nobody has dominated their sport to the extent AP has. He is a class apart a through living legend. The real joy about AP is that he plys his trade every day unless injury forbids. Unlike most other sports stars this Guy is on Our tv’s almost every day. To compare this guy to any other sports star around would do him an injustice. Some may brand what I have said as just another opinion. Well I believe it to be fact.

    How many times has he won on a horse and we say to ourselves or someone there with us "only For McCoy"!!!

    Can i just leave ye with this thought, When he retires he will leave us with such a void,he is simply irreplaceable.Never will we see another one like him. When his records are broken then and only then wioll i agree that we have seen one better.

    And when he does go it will be a dark day for racing!!!

    I don’t recall saying he’ll win the Grand Annual but I’ll be amazed if that isn’t the plan.

    I’d say you may be right my good man. A good Handicap mark is all thes boys want.

    Not today T !!!

    Take it from me he will DEFINITELY run in the Sun Alliance Novice Chase. 3 miles will not be a problem to him. Was a fence infront in a Point to Point when he sliped up after the last.

    I’d go For AP every time he is avalaible for sure. But Paul Carberry would be a super replacement if he was free too.And would suit the horse

    Typical- Trafford Lad was very impressive over an inadequate trip,But people persist to knock him. He is at the moment the best Novice Chaser around over a distance. No one can dispute that.

    What really gets to me is that if Willy Mullins Or Noel Meade trained this lad ye would be all saying how he looks a star in the making,well he is and is a real live contender for the Sun Alliance Chase and in deed a Gold Cup horse for 2010.

    I don’t know if ye remember this but a few years ago arount the time Azertioup was around things went again Paul Nicholls for a couple of months and he came out blaming Ruby…..Same thing here,The only difference is Ruby is a real Jockey and Sma Thomas isn’t fit to polish his boots. Like it ofr lump it he is extremely over-rated. Gets unseated way too easy.

    What about Hardy Eustace’s performance all the talk about Sizing Europe ye seem to have forgotten again about the great Warrior.

    Sizing Cannot and will not win a Champion Hurdle. There appears to be a hole in him.
    I’m ready for the cavalry charge of abuse!!!

    Fair play to Jason Mckeown. Stroke of genius.
