    The Liverpool fans in Liverpool are morons, demanding scouse presence in the team, Carragher and Gerard playing well beyond their best and cheering the arrival of FSG from the rafters. "They talk to the fans", to be honest I would rather they put their money into the team.

    Moores fell asleep when the Man Utd commercial machine was making tons of money and investing in the team, 10 years later he sold to Hicks and Gilete who did more commercially but gave **** all money and then sold to FSG who did more commercially but gave even less than **** all money.

    One of the connections involved with See Double You told me that a big race is expected from stable mate Violoniste in the 4:00 tomorrow. I had gotten a tip for this one and it did do the business before, but at a much shorter price.

    12/1 all gone now, but 10/1 still available. Would not be having a huge bet on this because the British handicapper has fairly gotten stuck into this.

    Thought it ran a big race and even shaped like the winner coming up the straight.

    These riders really do take crazy risks. Let's hope for a safe festival season ahead for runners and riders

    Amazing to think some people actually think they jump off on purpose. :o

    I guess for some it's easier to believe a conspiracy theory than admit you backed the wrong horse

    I just saw that yesterday, too. Very tough on him and his family, and I wish him a complete recovery.

    You're right - jockeys, whether flat, NH or point-to-point, really do take "risks", but I would say very few of them would actually think about it like that every time they get a leg up. If they did, they wouldn't be in the saddle. We may give out about them at times, and say they gave a sh*t ride, took the wrong/crazy option, or didn't try hard enough, or aren't good enough, but at the same time we really should give them our respect and thanks for getting up into the saddle and giving us some fun/entertainment/stress/winnings/losses!
