Splash of Ginge is being run over the wrong trip am I the only one that can see it???

I actually expected him to run in the brown plate and can't understand why he isn't. He must have run as part of the rating plan over 3m during the season (I thought it was a smokescreen). With that in mind they must be happy he'll stay. The other race would be more appealing but Id give him a shout in the kim Muir. NTD has a nice enough record in this

More of That would have won if Birch didn't tip it. That fella could stop a comet

Think he bled today, that's the end of him. Shame thought he would win a few Gold Cups

Neither him or NMH we're ever at it in that race, both riders absolutely had to earn their fee there.

Absolutely sick, had €40 win on Battleford at 28/1. Beaten a ****ing nose.

FFS that is unlucky Johner.

How you doing other than that?

I had a disaster yesterday. Today was better one winner and the Placepot (although small) so covered the day.

Hopefully Johns Spirit does it tomorrow

Decent enough both days, would have made my week if Battleford had have won though.

I'm on John's Spirit as well at 10's. Jonjo will have him spot on for tomorrow, hopefully does the business!

Cant complain about the last two days but tomorrow decides how my festival will ultimately turn out.

Waiting on limni to complete a 6/1 treble which I have a decent stake on. Johns Spirit, JOhns spirit Johns spirit. up to my oxters in this 1. Good AP bet on the Giant Bolster as well. Tomorrow could be my most profitable pays punting ever by a long shot.

Best of luck doc. Meant to back this ages ago after you put it up price has plummeted since. I will be having a good bet on it anyways. My dad was John and he passed this year, he loved a punt so hopefully he is sending down good karma from above!

Cheers Fuzzy, hope you win a bundle.

Sorry for your loss and hope your auld lad is smiling down as you are roaring him home

Ah lads Matt Chapman is on form tonight, absolutely destroyed some lad about slagging Geraghty saying when has he ever rode a big winner at Cheltenham, the poor lad hadn't a chance and hung up. Savage

I've JS too at 25 and 20's simply from reading it ib here from Doc (I think) and others. Not major bets but have him with Diamond King in a small double which would crown my week. Here's hoping....

Barters Hill 4/1 tomorrow.

In that case, you better not back Don Poli in the Gold Cup, cause Birch has been convinced he wont be beatehn ever since he won the RSA last year.

Have you no concern about his jumping? He's very awkward. I couldn't touch him.

Ben Pauling said at a preview night that he had done a lot of schooling since his last run.

I've no doubt he had done lots of schooling before he ever jumped one in public. He's a dreadful jumper. He'll be found out tomorrow.

It's a well known fact that horses with French names are better. Clan des Obeaux

You weren't wrong there..great performance by don cossack I didn't think he had it in him.
Pulled out of a hole with the last 2 races thank the lord!

Another Birch's banker beaten at 5/4. Not sure what's stranger: The fact he has a wife, the fact he has a job as a tipster, the fact that Bruce Millington is the editor of a national paper

Peintre Celebre · 21-03-2016 07:11PM

Lads does anyone know how Cailleach Annie has a handicap rating after two runs in novices??

Can't horses be given artificial handicap ratings (in the UK anyway) but they are a shot in the dark on the negative side by the handicapper basically?
