    How did that little bugger Is It Me win? He wasn’t too keen on this jumping game was he?

    Excuse my ignorance, as a youngster of some 50 summers, but why was the bet placed at SP if it was on course?

    <br>I agree with you there, but I’ve gone even further out with Rob Roy at 29/1!

    This thread reminds me of the Personal column that used to be on the front page of The Times. It must mean something to somebody!:cool:

    Welcome to the forum Galejade, & well said. Unfortunately there is a sad lack of common sense in this country now.

    Of course it’s a poor race, 6 runners FFS!

    I’m sorry, but Alfie Flits still makes me laugh. It has to be rhyming slang, surely?

    Willie Carson’s head is about level with most people’s butts anyway!<br>Seriously, where’s the big deal? It was no more than a tap on the nose.

    It’s only just dawned on me, maybe Fallon saw this coming when he made the decision to leave Stoute and return to Ireland. Racing’s equivalent of The Lump?

    EC <br>Nice to see you back amongst us. I don’t always agree with you,  but you do know the wood from the trees & keep up the good work.

    I have 3 days booked off work for the July meeting at Newmarket but this could take priority!

    Spencer seems too laid back sometimes. He always thinks he’s riding Nijinsky! Mind you Fallon’s ride on Scottish Stage wasn’t too clever. I managed to back a few winners at Ascot but I had several 2nds that I think should have won with a more enterprising ride.

    It’s interesting that when the rules were changed 2 or 3 years ago the bookies over here started paying out "first past the post." Nowadays no horse ever loses the race in the stewards room.<br>I’m only surprised that Micky Jo didn’t punch Fallon on the nose!
