    My mother-in-law went for her Pfizer jab this afternoon.

    Very smooth process, social distancing easily done, a painless jab and off on her way on time, no waiting.

    We are leading the way on vaccine rollout.

    Its about time the media, and the opposition, stopped moaning on about it, and gave some credit to those tasked with delivering the process.

    But, hey, why give some good news to the country when you can slag off the government/NHS/Army/Drug companies instead and make everyone feel more miserable instead of happier.

    Doh.
    Great news SW. It's nice to hear positive stories instead of all the doom and gloom merchants that seem to take over social media

    Am I right in thinking we are leading the way on the vaccine roll out? If not, how do we compare to other countries?

          • I\d be grateful if someone can help me out on this one.

            When B365 go NRNB do they scrap cash out at the time or keep it on?

            • They keep it and in some cases you can cash out and reback you horse NRNB at the same cash out value

                      How could anybody say definitively either way.....we are still in January and talks of quarantine hotels are circulating!

                        I’d say you can be about as sure as ever they will be coming over...

                          I don’t think as many Irish horses will be coming over, I think the big owners & trainers will be well represented but with no spectators expected I think a number of syndicate horses and horses entered for a day out/occasion won’t bother with the hassle of travelling over, they’ll save themselves for the better paying Irish races. As a result I think fields may be smaller and less place opportunities.

                          this is obviously a personal opinion and I do have a rich history of being wrong and full of shit

                          • I think they will be over, that’s just my opinion obviously.

                              Ye this is the way I’m leaning towards king pimm! I think the big horses will travel,which for my ante post book is vital! But as you say the smaller stables might just draw stumps and wait for something more suitable in Ireland

                                Fantastic tagline.
                                Appropriate for the bottom of every post for several members I reckon
