    So....Footpad.......now what are we thinking!?!

    For a horse that was looking at the CC last year, it now seems to be looking at 3m+ this year
    When he jumps like that he is something else

    20's with Ladbrokes for the King George Roger. Think big pal. Grease them up and ride them.

    Already on Altior for the KG lad, think he is made for the trip personally, and the flatter track

    Will footpad go to kempton or stay at home ? Would be very interested to see him in KG but owners might want Jacob on BDM

    Laurina is a monster BTW
    She wins whatever she goes in

    Some mares can come in season around early March so it always smart to be careful when getting stuck into them for the festival.

    Laurina jumped lovely yesterday and looks to have a future over fences. She has a great engine, I would just be careful about any Cheltenham aspirations. She did underperform at last years festival, it needs to be said.

    It is undesirable and unfortunate that certain stables prefer to be not as forthcoming with information about their horses to the general public on or before a race. These same stables seem to prefer keeping the punters in the dark, they prefer to have that edge and to keep that info to themselves.

    I have been stating for years that it should be compulsory for trainers to declare if a mare is in foal or not prior to the race. They are not prepared to do so, which is not surprising considering the shenanigans the modern vets are up to with the best mares out there. In the same instance trainers should be forthcoming about the general health and wellbeing of a mare before a race, if she has come into season I think they should be letting punters know.

    When looking to educate a horse that's not exactly a natural over a fence Dickie Johnson is the last thing you need.

    Any chance we'll see Sizing John this season, or is he for the knacker's yard?

    Well that Dlauro was out for the run today anyway. Massive late drift before the off told all.
    I'm not saying that this was a bent performance but the horse jumps like a stag and wins as he likes at Belharbour and then puts in that dog**** run today. Doesn't look great.

    Lads have they said which race is going when the mares chase comes in in 2021? I'd be thinking the bumper will go myself but haven't heard. Maybe the Kim muir is also a front runner.

    I can't see them dropping any races, they can throw 1 extra race in anywhere surely?

    Savage field. Penhill has got some support today so probably goes too.
    AJ can't be dsicounted going for 4 in a row either.

    Honeysuckle the pick though.

    I honestly believe Beveur D'air would do well to even place in this race if entered

    Pretty sure they already said they would not be extending the festival last 28 races.
