Gus,
Soumillion is quoted today in the Sunday Times as saying he did not want to unbalance HR on the home turn allowing himself to be outflanked. I understand what you say but once HR found room he did have the best turn of foot and won on merit.
Wallace,
I will drop you a pm with my mobile number. I will be there with some friends and would be glad to meet up.
Rob, I seldom do well at Perth betting wise. Cracking little course though.
I have just spent a depressing time reading through this thread. Very sad.
I for one have drifted away from the Forum since Craig’s death seldom bothering to log in. For me this flat season has lost its sparkle. Same goes for this forum. I really do not think it will  ever be the same again and it is probably best that it takes some new direction rather than trying to recreate the past. Indeed even up to the end Craig was having real problems trying to keep the forum moderated as per his concept of a racing not purely betting forum.
If it is still here I will take more interest when the flat is over.
Debs my advice to you is to just sell to the highest bidder and walk away.
I have never had a problem with Ian Davies but do find all of this has a real bad taste.
I thought Zorro’s article was spot on with respect to pubic cynicism. Not sure how anyone can disagree with that as a historical fact.
Not many will disagree that Horse racing is much less corrupt than it was years ago. It has survived worse scandals and I think will survive this jockey scandal and indeed may be better for it.
People can be up in arms about certain rule breaking. What about the acceptible "cheating" in racing such as inside info, scam tipping services, running of horses in unfavourable conditions, training on the course etc? We have all had a supposed insider tip and accept this "cheating" to give us a supposed acceptable advantage.
I was over in Eire a couple of weeks ago and watched a Hurling game final. This was in contrast to the daily diet of world cup offerings Was so refreshing to see true sportsmanship without play acting, cheating or Cynicism.
Was not going to comment on Fallon but believe in the innocent until proven guilty cornerstone of British justice concept. I think they have acted too soon.
Dear Debs, I have just spotted this dreadful awful news and am completely lost for words. My thoughts are with you both. A special guy and a tragic sad loss.
Tend to agree David. The fourth was very unlucky and could be quite special.
Not sure if you would get the same result on a more conventional course between the first five. My money was on Visindar who in my opinion was beaten fair and square on the day. Lets hope the first five are all exceptional. They are all young and lightly raced so they could be anything.

What is the official going at Beverly today?
Always liked Bahamian Pirate but clearly the going is a concern.
