    Yeah just seen it mate, doesn’t look to clever. Think there are easier ways to fiddle these low value races obviously so can’t go down that road with a 100% conviction

    suspect though and certainly questions to answer

    Not long till the Flat anyway so we don’t have to put up with this for much longer

    Good afternoon Garry

    I have been to a couple mate and personally speaking you don’t learn anything you don’t already know, you might depending on the panel get a little handicap snippet of info maybe depending on the panel but again nothing really you couldn’t find if you done your homework.

    With that being said they are still worth going to as it’s good to sinka few jars and talk racing all night with like minded folk, well worth the fiver/tenner to get involved in my esteemed opinion.

    Can see where you are coming from Henry mate, but it has gone now.

    Will be impossible to settle as you can’t sort it out for the online bettors and then swerve it for anyone on a betting slip.

    Listen there is no point crying over spilt milk, get your head on the game and focus on winning it back and then some in this years festival

    Two moments stand out for this man who usually has ice running through his veins and immune too emotion but on the two occasions I was reduced to a big, inconsolable blubbering wreck.

    Sunday afternoon 19/06/2016 Prix de Diane

    Will she stay or won’t she, Demuro gives her a peach as the best horse in training kicks clear and sees out the trip and then some, winning me a kings ransom in the process, the money was nothing compared to the intrinsic feeling of pride as the best filly in Europe slammed them into submission remaining unbeaten which in the end all got too much for me.

    From the weeping of euphoria to the sobbing of pure heartache

    Saturday night 02/11/2013 Breeders Cup Classic

    The lesser fancied Will Take Charge thundering down the home straight as Luis Saez gets a tune out of my boy, just arriving a stride to late as they crossed the finishing line, as a young whippersnapper back then awaiting his first four figure payout it all got too overwhelming and I am not afraid to admit the tears of pure grief were flowing freely down this Iron Mans smooth, wet behind the ears baby face.

    Brings it all back talking about it now but I must admit it is therapeutic now that it is out in the open.

    How does it make so much of a difference though gang, I get when there is a stone difference ina 3 mile slog in heavy ground but a 4lb pull is 2 kilos, I just can’t get me head round how a half tonne horse carrying a bag of sugar can cause a turnaround in results. Obviously other factors, pace, position etc but solely down to the weights it baffles me. Or maybe I am a ill informed moron who should stick to handicapping the NFL?

    Can’t be having Crack Mome in this and think it will get turned over by Meade’s tomorrow as well for good measure

    Really underwhelming line up this year for this race but I suppose that’s not too bad as it makes for a good betting heat. Will be keeping my powder dry for on the day for this curtain raiser however as nothing has caught my eye and can’t foresee any drastic price cuts on the 4-5 that are on my radar.

    STD if you want to watch plodders in 3 runner affairs treading water for 3 and a half miles knowing who’s won the race halfway from home barring a fall then that’s your prerogative but I won’t stand for you talking such asinine especially when it pertains to Mr Gosden who play’s it with the straightest bat.
