imagine your talking about the ride on Harchibald? , i think you’ll find its because Harcibald finds absolutely nada off the bridle if anything slows down once the whips out , i backed it so at the time was pretty cheesed off but i cant blame Paul or the horse , stylish ride i thought just a shame it didnt quite come off.
The Drever’s been my fave horse for some time now , must of backed it everytime in the last few years and the bookies keep giving me odds against – mugs!! keep forgettin to check the in-running betting out as the flat spot someone mentioned before occurs everytime he races – without fail hes always scrubbed along with about a mile left then comes alongside the leader on the bridle.
definately the best staying hurdler ive ever seen , however i have only been watching racing for the last ten years , better than Barracouda – all day long!!Our Vic did not stay aswel as Knowhere – simple as , he stayed better than 6 other horses in the race but even at levels knowhere would still beat him over this distance plus the fact the ground was slow played to knowhere strengths – i been following this horse all season and he would get 5 miles staying on at the end!!
however i could be a little biased as i backed him e/w at 20’s – get in there!!
and the fact Paddy was on him helps – Top Jock!!!!!!!
Matt Chapman – ALL DAY LONG , even my brothers girlfriend emails him in the booth , un-f*****g-believeable !!
or should he be in the most orange & shiny presenter category?
anyway he makes me laugh with his shouting and talking absolute irrelevant nonsense
gotta be DJ for me , for one reason only ,
i’ll share it with ya , good few months back now DJ flagged up a B.Curley runner at w/hampton with spencer on now i know thats not unusual but when i was browsing the forum and saw the post and looked at the clock i realised i had a couple of minutes to get on to my back manager , a chap named Billy Hill (you might know him) lump on at a massive 7/2 then watched them go off at 15/8 and cruise past a flat to the boards Sanders with a 100 yards to go .
a matter of the right place at the right time i think , but i certainly had an enjoyable few days spending the cash
cant believe Adam Kirby’s names not on the list , or is he already a semi-accomplished jock (if that makes sense) in peoples books? anyway i think he’s a good young rider to watch out for..
But from the list i plumped for Liam Jones – won a few quid following him this year , had a few rides in the Makthoum silks aswel.
Buick – hmm not quite sure about him yet , yes he had plenty of winners but got alot of fancied horses beat aswel and a fair few bans for driving without due care and attention.
L.Jones for me
i backed this horse on the flat a few times – he has got no turn of foot!! jumps well and will get a trip tho – for what its worth
i like ‘Jair Du Cochet’ – dunno what it means but another one that rolls off the tongue , cracking animal too!!
yeah your probably right to be honest when i was looking it was before Setanta had started – a little while ago now.
Might check it out , do like my Golf !!
Agree with that "more the merrier comment" !! let me just say that i have ATR which comes free with the sports package on Sky which shows plenty of tracks (probably abit more jumps that flat , which im not complaining about) plus nearly all the Irish and the US racing not to mention the Aussie racing recently started the French and more !! Plus some rather amusing presenters – Matt Chapman probably the funniest.
whereas RacingUK is in the region of 30 quid a month so if you think im gonna shell out on that too you must be joking , however having said that the last time i read something in the RP about it more tracks were gonna be heading to RacingUK around April time.
As for the bookies – its a bloody joke aint it ……..you can watch cartoon Horse/Dog races but not the real thing , just dont seem right to me!!
Theres an independant round my way that shows everyrace and Totesport does too(imagine its the same everywhere)
p.s….i dont work for the above mentioned establishment!!
may i just say , that im a rather new member …and ive noticed that you all seem like thoroughly helpful chaps and if i ever got any donkeywork doing i’ll shout ya!
nice one Aragorn , thats the EXACTLY the kinda information i like to read …especially when someone else finds it ! like your call on whether he’ll run again or not.
keep up the good work
