If you aren't backing him for anything does that mean you aren't backing anything against him in several races either JM ?

I’ll throw my usual three darts at the novice races in each discipline where I don’t feel a short priced fav is cut and dried. I won’t back in the Arkle as that’s where I think he’ll go right now. It’s also an easy race for me skip, like I do most years, as I rarely have a horse I fancy at a working man’s price in that market.

As a part-owner of The Carpenter, I'm now very interested in a Brown Advisory 2024 price. :eagerness:

You think that was bad..... have a look at my weekly round up from today



Are You Ready To Love this Friday Wrap? Elton John and Harry Houdini
20_f.png
share a birthday today, and despite my disappearing act last week to attend the Cheltenham Festival, "I'm still standing!" To kick off, we have not Wand, but two new starters this week, XXXX and XXX, who I'm sure "Won't Go Breaking My Heart" as they begin to work their magic in their careers! Far too early to "Step in to Christmas", but we have been counting the steps this week for charity! I haven't contributed as much as I should've so far, Sorry (Seems To Be The Hardest Word). I'll pocus on it more next week! "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside", but so proud of XXX, XXX & XXXX, in a week which has seen us Rocket (Man) past our April budget... pulling xxK out of the hat
20_f.png
for Q2 this week alone. I thought the April budget would be tricky, but not half as tricky as I've found it trying to get "Crocodile Rock" and "Tiny Dancer" puns in! It's XXX's penultimate week before she goes off on Mat Leave to start her very own Circle of life. Enjoy the baby shower this weekend

. The rest of you, enjoy your normal showers and remember, "Saturday Nights Are Alright For Fighting"!

Any of you guys involved in Bond Broker? Sorry to hijack this thread.
 
….I think Captain Teague continues to go a little under the radar. Reading Nicholls pre-Festival stable tour he says he’d be delighted if the horse came 4th or 5th. He said Al Ferof was his last CB runner (2nd to Cue Card). Al Ferof went on to win the following years Supreme.

Re Captain Teague: “He’ll be a lovely horse to go Novice Hurdling with. He’ll be one of our better horses next season”.

No hint of whether he might be more of a speedster or staying type, some on here might have a view but 40-1 Supreme (with cash-out) & 33-1 Ballymore look big given the CB performance & Nicholls words ahead of the Festival.

As an Elton John fan I’m not sure whether I’m appalled or not. Great work nevertheless!

…I reckon it was about 1973 I first saw him at Liverpool Empire. Some of that early work is really good. Anyway, Captain Teague is as decent a proposition as Captain Fantastic.

Showing your age there Eggsy! Agree the early stuff was infinitely better. Madman Across The Water a personal fav.

Im not sold on Captain Teague other than you’ll likely get value. He stinks of next seasons Herpes Alan.
