leave poor Jonjo alone.
He is a good trainer and you can only train what you have got.
Everyone seems to have focused on Jonjo but as anyone considered taking Howard Johnson apart and Graham Wylie.
Wylie may not be quite as rich as JP but he has wasted some money or is it like everyone seems to think on here is it the trainer to blame.
Some examples of horses that Wylie has bought but done little.
Royal Rosa
Scriptwriter
No Refuge (he did win at Cheltenham but what since like BJK)
Nosferatu
Some TouchI could go on.
Leave Jonjo alone he does a good job.
Personally although the adverts are a pain, I would rather have them and not have to pay anything to RUK and have all the racing free.
I think ATR do an excellent job and if occassionally there is a mix up so be it. It is free for goodness sake.
Also I prefer the presenters on the ATR who are very good and very knowledgeable. They also have better interviews than RUK
Keep up the good work ATR
I live in Jersey and am not aware or have heard that ATR or RUK are going to show any of the Jersey racing.
I have no doubt the facilities will be great, however it just lowers the standard of racing in general.
It is purely for the bookmakers.
In the main low rated horses running against each other time and time again with a different result every time, all in the bookies favour.
Sorry I just love MH racing and cannot abide the AW
I know a lot of people like AW so please do not have a go at me just because I dislike it.
I think I will turn to football. you have more chance
I have to say his articles are excellent.
I recall reading his article on Orpen Wide (succesful hurdler and good novice chaser) that he owned but sold before it went hurdling because it was poor on the flat and then became a revelation over hurdles.Very funny and witty
Pure class.
What he is like in real life I do not know but writing for the Post he is brilliant.
You would have to be disappointed if Katchit gets beat today.
I cannot see how Blythe Knight can improve the 31 lengths it was beaten by Katchit and Henderson as said that Amaretto Rose will improve for the run.
The others although good are not this grade.
I think Katchit is the bet of the day.

What he pointed out to me made a lot of sense.Horses love to race and most will go better when they have something to race against. If like Ruby did you make a mistake they will still pick up and go after the horse in front. If however you are leading and make a mistake when leading the horse may not find as much with nothing to race with and can often be caught flat footed.
Fis t of Fury can you explain then why Martin Pipe, for many years sent his horses out to make the running time and time and time and time again with fantastic success for many years if horses like something to race against.
I think your jockey had you away there Fist of Fury.
And before you ask, I know little about riding horses or horse pysche.
LOL
I have to say having watched the race twice that Ruby Walsh stole his winning distance at the start and possibly a little bit more.
The jockey won the day today, however at Cheltenham no one gets an easy lead like MM got todayand that is where VPU will come into his own especially off level weights.
I cannot see him getting beaten.
Zoso, I wish you all the best and I have to agree with you.
I would rather lay Denman at 1/6 than back him.
I think he his all hype as well and as you say he as not beaten a top class horse yet.
Howard Johnson is very difficult predict.
His horses always seem to be handicapped to the hilt.
Beckster, I see in the RP he is going to run on the 22nd at Sandown.
Hope all is well and gets there.
Hope all goes well Beckster and that he came out of his last race fit and well.
Roll on 1st Feb the Cheltenham
For me he is the banker already
Yes it is a pain with the split screen but at least you get all the racing and for FREE.
It is just a shame that the camera shots from Ireland are so poor.
Good win Beckster for Noland.
It is a long time since I have seen a novice jump so well out of bad ground.
It reminded me of a horse called A Sure Row many moons ago whose career was cut short by injury and jumped superbly also
I hope the legs are fine in the morning as I think Noland is a Festival winner in waiting and one of the best jumpers I have seen for a long time.
Good luck with his legs in the morning.
Yes it was good performance and Nicky Richards was very bullish after on ATR stating it would improve a lot for the run.
It could be a Festival winner
There have been many controversial races.
Paul Nicholls always maintained that Playschool was doped in the Gold Cup when he was riding it.
Brownes Gazette being left at the start of the Champion Hurdle however Dermot Browne did I believe own up to doing it on purpose for some syndicate.
Graham Bradley trying to get a Gold Cup postponed at the start for betting reasons when it was snowing. Sorry I am to old to recall the years
