Agree there Tatling.
It’s coming to the stage where everything else in the jumping season seems an irrelevance.
And to the other point, Wayward Lad never won at Cheltenham but that doesn’t detract from the fact he was a champion racehorse.
Please put Brough Scott back in his coffin. Every time I hear him speak I want to wipe the spittle from my glasses.
Agree with most of the sentiments alluded to here.
Prior to nis reality tv days he was a genuinely excellent journalist and broadcaster.
In a racing world populated by the worst of sychophants he was never afraid to ask the searching, and awkward, questions that nobody else would.When you watch today’s anodyne presenters one appreciates hisxqualities even more.I did meet and speak with him a on a couple of occasions; always had time for the public and he came across as a thoroughly decent bloke.
RIP Big Mac
Is there some youth on this thread because there is no mention of the true great-Sea Pigeon.
7th in the Derby, dual winner of the Chester Cup, Ebor(under 10st) and one of the best Champion hurdlers.Being a gelding couldn’t run in the Ascot Gold Cup; he’d have won that too.
VTC; measured, informative and admire his dedication.
An appreciative nod to Steeplechasing too.
He was mere inches from the perfect ride from the most imperfect drawer; beaten by an outstanding racehorse.
There is great interview on Racing UK website where he, more or less, admits he wouldn’t have done anything different.
Good call re Exotic Dancer but was he underrated?
I absolutely adored the horse; I kept backing it, hopefully, to get the better of Kato but, alas, it wasn’t to be. As Marlingford says Kato always had to be, and always was, on top form to get the better of the perennial bridesmaid. It was a golden age of steeplechasing.
Dawn Run’s Gold Cup. I’d backed Wayward Lad, surely the best chaser not to win the thing,and for a moment looked like he was finally going to do it.
As we all know things panned out a bit differently and with Peter O’Sullevan’s sublime commentary, she’s going to get up, the mare’s going to get up, I found myself cheering against my favourite horse and who i’d also backed. A wonderful race.
I wouldn’t want to mess with Gay Kellaway.
No, neither would I and I wouldn’t want to fight her either!
Listening to “Wake up to Money” on Five Live this week the analysts on there didn’t think the monopolies commission would let this merger happen; apparently there was talk of the same merger several years ago with the same school of thought.
