I didn't watch it but heard a few reports, were they not beat of the pitch by Brom

Wow. Where did you hear those reports ?

LFC totally dominated and West Brom looked very very poor or LFC looked very good. Depends on your reading.

West brom had their first shot (possibly on target) in the 80th minute and then scored from a corner within a minute of that.

Ask any West Brom fan and I think they'll fail to explain how they won the match. I think they'd struggle to argue the justification of a draw.

Pool were the dominant side, no doubt.

Lol I think they were on a facebook page. Probably ran by United.

Jesus Henderson is getting awful abuse across the board here about the preperation of his animals for the festival, in particular Bobs Worth and Granduet.
Just to spite us all, he's the type of man that will get them there 100% and have them winning.

Hardly unjustified. I'd take every word that man says with the utmost of caution

Oh i know, im not saying it is unwarranted, my point is that after all the abuse he's getting, there's still every chance he'll go out and win all the big one's.

If you pick his 4 leading contenders......

Sprinter Sacre
Bobs Worth
Oscar Whisky
Grandouet

.......it is 224/1 with Ladbrokes.

UrbanSea · 18-02-2013 03:06PM

But with the 50/1 you'd be getting Binocular and it did look possibly MTOY would be running in the CH too for a while

Slattsy · 18-02-2013 03:10PM

Dont forget Long Run too.

Slattsy · 18-02-2013 04:06PM

As a matter of interest, what website do you guys use to watch horses previous races?

UrbanSea · 18-02-2013 04:11PM

atr or sportinglife

Slattsy · 18-02-2013 04:16PM

Can Sportinglife show replay's from the big tracks - Cheltenham, Newbury etc

UrbanSea · 18-02-2013 04:17PM

I believe so, you need to log in to your skybet account to watch

ft9 · 18-02-2013 04:17PM

Yeah where can replays be watched that were on RUK rather than ATR?

Slattsy · 18-02-2013 04:18PM

So i need to sign up with skybet, herein lies the problem.

only champion stakes winner with a" first and second name" is 1950 winner called peter flowers, is there a current jockey called peter flowers? i think there is trickery afoot with this question:)
