Mother a christ.

I think Paul Townend would be horrified to have been put in that company.

Don't sweat it Stevie, we all have our favourites.

Some more expensive than others.

To be fair he has his attributes, he is very genuine, gives every ride 100% and never gives up the inside.

However, stylish he is not, he murders horses and is found wanting tactically very often.

We are probably all guilty of over estimating the differences between jockies, they are all to one extent or another competent and 90% of horses beaten have nothing to do with the jockey.

Quite right.

I think Richard Johnson is finished as well. He might pull the odd one out of the fire, but all his winners look like steering jobs to me these days?

In saying that he is probably due a treble soon enough.

Meh Frost can only win one way, plenty of wins she's scuppered because she's dead set on running the **** out of every horse in the race, including her own mount. Think she's just blessed that Frodon is a great leaper and has a good engine.

Frodon is not a patch on Findusatgorcombe however.

Ignore her over fences at your peril, she is top class.

Indeed.

Nico DB is responsible for the whole other 10%

Off topic slightly, but i remember being at windsor races one Monday evening about 10 years ago and richard hughes pretty much threw 3 races away. Fcuker cost me a fortune that night

I am not a huge fan of NdB but to be perfectly honest he is only riding to instruction a lot of the time - Henderson is the boss. As I say not a massive fan but think his misgivings are greatly exaggerated and he wouldn't have that job if he was as terrible as some make out.

I wouldnt rule out Rachael vs Bryony up the hill to win the Gold Cup. Not a huge stretch in all honesty.

I'd rule it out for you then, frodon and minella indo haven't a hope of winning a gold cup

If Minella Indo wins well on Sunday then it would certainly have a chance

His form is tied with Allaho who doesn't even stay 3 miles, the race on Sunday is a non event which will be run at a false pace no doubt

Coneygree

They should all be shot if Frodon isn't blowing out his arse at least before two out.

He's entered in the Denman at Newbury in two weeks. They're cutting it fine although I heard he's had a few setbacks this season. Henderson said they might run him over hurdles just to get a run into him but that was at Christmas when it turned out he couldn't come over for the Lexus.

Couldn't back him with stolen money anyway as I always felt he was a pig with a rocket up his arse but you'd be a brave man to back him after this prep. Either that or a huge McCoy/JP fan. Saying that Percy carried a lot of fools money that year Kelly gave him a shocking prep.

Dr. Bre

Will the betting shops be open ? I have online account anyway but like going into the shop when Cheltenham on
