    Not long to go until the real racing gets properly under way in November, sick of this flat rubbish.

    This NH season promises to be a cracker, anyone got any ante-post fancies yet?

    I’ve lumped on Might Bite to win the King George 9/2 with PP.

    Anyone have any other bets

    Can I ask why you've backed Might Bite? Anybody backing AP on these sort of races is off their head.

    Wonder will Our Duke be sent across the pond early in the season and maybe have a crack at the KG. Unlikely but he looks a top class staying chaser.

    No, Harrington has already confirmed that SJ will be aimed at million pound triple crown while OJ will take in the big Irish races before they collide in March hopefully.

    Gringo, you don't be worrying about these chasers and find me another 50/1 winner of the supreme please :D
    I'll never forget sitting in the Oval on Oconnell/Abbey street 5 minutes after the race when the barman asks "any luck in that pal?"

    Of which I was one for sure. Couldn't believe it. I had heard he was good but mad but nowhere near the level you had been saying. You were completely right. That performance was sensational.

    Nothing could live with him in Elliots yard. Would of loved to see him over a fence. He injured himself half way through his last race and still managed to finish a respectable 4th stepping out of novice company for the first time. Doubt we will see him again unfortunately.

    Surely Tizzard should have retired Cue Card?
    Is he hoping for a Sprinter Sacre type re-birth?
    Cue Card has already done that. A legend of a horse, retire it.


    (prob win the charlie hall again now after i saying that.........)
