    He was out for a spin and picked up the pieces. Wasnt wanted at all.

    Say he wasn't 75% fit. Been in a field for most of the last few months.

    Yeah, proper horse so.
    I reckon he'll be a seriously good chaser.

    I just don't have a bet in handicaps anymore. There is no point unless you know what is trying. It is the silly season in full swing now, lots of bolloxing going on, you are far better not having a bet until it gets properly competitive again. Otherwise you end up wasting your stash on stupid bets that haven't a hope.

    When a jockey is told not to place it becomes glaring - especially with a few fallers suddenly putting them in contention.

    Yeah that's for sure the last few months the constant cheating and non trying is ridiculous. I've stayed away from the handidaps as well

    Don't be afraid of getting on a big handicap - with proper prizemoney - you will find that there is a few triers there.

    And whatever you do steer well clear of Dundalk, biggest unholy racket I have seen for years. Ugly stuff week in week out. Far worse than those 6 furlong boat races they have on the Curragh, Naas and up in Navan all summer.

    Trainer I know used to run quite a few horses up in Dundalk, he drank in my local you'd be guaranteed every two weeks he'd give a horse for the Friday night would win at 20/40-1 range and be never heard of again.

    I've been waiting on The Great White to go back up in trip and today is the day. I'm certain this fella has a decent prize in him, and while today may not be the day, I'm happy to take the 8s in an open race .
