Is that your own image, califano? If not, could you provide a link so we can credit the photographer? Thank you!

Also, in the interest of fairness, some of the male riders also donned some nice suits for the fashion show last night.... Cooper, Fogarty and Patrick Mullins. Do you have a snap of them?

Terrible few days punting for me. Got restricted by laddies and Stan James closed my account and not a winner to show for it.

Quote from Stan james. "All Stan James accounts are reviewed on a regular basis by our Trading team, and due to betting patterns on this account the decision has been made to close it.

I would make you the decision to close your account has been made at the highest level and will not be reversed". I am a standard punter stakes wise with v little inside info. It is really starting piss me off that these pricks can get away with this sh*t. If I was dropping thousands they wouldnt be too slow to close my account.

The Aussie law where they have to take a bet up to a certain liability should be brought in. Madness at how easy it is to get restricted/closed.

Had Betway and BF sportsbook do the same to me. Same as yourself, nothing major going in the accounts and would have been a small bit up on both over the term I had them opened. Absolutely boils my piss when Im on Oddschecker and either are top price.

Ya its gone beyond a joke. They only want mug punters who will loose every penny in the long term.

What really pisses me off is that u can be guarenteed they are putting much more resources into restricting the likes of u n me then they are into identifying problem gamblers n closing there accounts.

Bobs Worth has been retired. What a legend of a horse.

Francie Barrett

Mullagtawny surely worth a few quid in the next. Both it and the favourite have shown as much as each other, so the price differential doesn't look right to me at 9/2 verus 4/5.

Some run from Phil Healy, yer wan that blew up shouldn't be let next nor near the olympics, honest to **** she was looking at the runner in front of her treading water and accelerated to go by her with 150 left and then had nothing left. How can we seriously be sending someone who has no idea what her capabilities are.

They all seemed horrendous really bar the winner no clue of pace how many times did the lead change by huge amounts

She's a 3000m steeple chaser not a 400m specialist, so of course she should go to the Olympics.

Wonder would Barry Geraghty and Noble Emperor of got by her

No Don Cossack for Punchestown. Tendon injury. Pity.

Fair enough, but she should still be able to judge pace whatever the event. It would be like Bolt running in the 1500 and running the first 200 flat out

I take your point but I'd see it from a gutsy POV. She went for it and was prepared to hurt and it nearly paid off.

I would have sad foolish, she was always picking her up with 150 or more to go and she decided to go flat out, she was empty with a quarter of her race left.

Adrian Keatley sends five to Ayr tomorrow, all but one ridden by Fallon.
Mo Henry in the 2:50 looks by far to be the best handicapped of them.

I was going to back Anonymous Lady if I could get 3/1 but can't. I chanced a small e/w double on Harringtons two in the handicaps at Naas and her unraced maiden at 25/1 e/w well supported now. Also backed Lynam's e/w in the six furlong handicap at 6s

Thanks PC. Backed Harry's 2 for a 140/1 double. But just had a euro on it on account of crap season so far.

Cheers.
