    Maybe it was some sort of lucky charm, but you would think she would remember if she had given him a lucky charm for the race. Definitely Murtagh doing the handing over though.

    Looks like Jonny could be in trouble, not necessarily with the BHA, but the wife :twisted:

    Yes, the odd few times when Racing gets mentioned at work when we do the Sweepstake, plus I have to tip a few for my boss. 2012 I gave him the winner, 3rd and 4th but instead of backing Neptune Collonges, he marked Neptune Equester on the quickslip :roll:

    I’d be a bit worried about Cue Card.
    Joe Tizzard is not exactly old and wouldn’t want to give up the ride on this exciting horse.

    I had this thought myself, just hope it’s not true

    Richard Johnson couldn’t look mean if he tried (and he is trying) :twisted:

    Also surprised at the decision, although I thought he was a little older. With a couple more years in Cue Card, health permitting, I thought he would have gone on a little longer, but I don’t know the ins and outs.

    Best of luck for the future Joe.

    Yes Osbourne is trying to get the masses out of the bookies and into the bingo halls by increasing FOBT duty and halving bingo duty.

    If you think he is to retire at the end of the season then yes. Wouldn’t be too surprised if he did, but given the nature of the man, wouldn’t be surprised if he was booting in the winners in 5 years time either. Obviously the events of the last two weeks may lean him towards the former.

    And as I have said on the other thread, Geraghty will surely ride Triolo :?

    Indeed you are right Homer, it was in my mind that McCoy rode him last time, but obviously that was because of circumstances, lets just say I’m not having a good day.

    You mentioned about McCoy riding one of the umpteen McManus horses, I Haven’t trawled through them horse by horse, but has he many that will get in or likely to run bar Colbert Station. Alfie Sherrin if a good few pull out maybe, and Lost Glory who needs fewer to come out, but I don’t see him running and certainly now winning.

    I’m putting the blinkers on for the rest of today in case I take any more wrong courses.

    He did have 6 in the Top 40 my last count but some may have been scratched since.
