    Another thing that gets me annoyed is big race days good races such as novice hurdles race one or two are never shown. Even with Cheltenham not every race is shown. It’s more important to show an episode of the Simpson’s or something instead. So show a full card on big race days. If your going to preview a race do it well beforehand and try get through all horses rather than just the favourites. Forget about the meaningless updates from the betting ring. It serves no purpose

    I think the amateur champion this year might well be Martin Adams again.

    I was actually a bit disappointed with shaneshills jumping but when he made a mistake he responded well in fairness

    Ginger he has had three cracks at the whip now and has been very underwhelming. Peace and co has been underwhelming in his one crack so far and hargam has done very little since of any note either. A hugely overrated triumph hurdle

    There are one or two beginners and novice chases on every Irish card. Why do British trainers hardly ever send a horse over for a suitable race here. Only one British horse ran in the leopardstown festival as far as I know

    I think top notch has supported my previous post. Doesn’t say much for peace and co, or many of the horses they were ahead of in the triumph

    The Ron Atkinson one about David ginola actually makes sense.

    Killultagh Vic has been the most impressive Irish novice chased of Willie over the longer distances. He might go for this or the RSA

    Based on his performance today, his usual good performances in the spring, his previous experience in the grand national, and his lowering handicap mark, I believe On his Own could be a contender if entered

    Don Poli is not a gold cup horse on the basis of that

    Tim you only have value with a horse who is going to win. What’s the point in backing a horse that u think has no hope just because you reckon he is value?

    I really don’t understand how knowing this information is of any benefit? No use knowing what the odds should be, when no bookie is offering them?

    The only Nicholls this will be a good Christmas for is Nichols Canyon!!
    His horses are running awful and I hope the blame for that won’t be left at Sam twiston davies’ door. He just doesn’t seem to get the top class young horses because Mullins is a better judge when it comes to buying them it appears

    Djakadam came second last year by a length as an under the radar 6 year old, and other than Cue Card he has been the most impressive this year. It’s hard to know what Don Cossack will show up or more importantly what Bryan Cooper turns up. He will probably have to choose between Don Cossack and Don Poli, whichever he chooses it means the other has a better chance.

    It’s amazing how people overreact. Vaniteux was rated 147 as a novice over hurdles. douvan was rated 160. A horse doesn’t just improve that much for a fence, and hence the reason why all the hype about vaniteux was hard to fathom
