I don't like talking bad of people so I'm glad that you and Exar Essay gave my outburst the responses it deserved. Stand by my point that I've thought he wasn't a nice person from day one (does that count as calming down further overnight? :cool:) but yeah, I'll leave it there now...
 
Which day (or days) is it this week that Willie works his out at Curragh? I have Tuesday in my head but not sure if I've made that up or not...

Ben Pauling's horses are running well.

Quevega will be cheering Global Citizen over the last in The Grand Annual 20 lengths clear and then all of a sudden, he stops for a shit 50 yards from the winning post!
 
….Welsh trainer Dai Burchell has passed away aged 87.

What happened on Jan 17th?
 
Having survived 'the beast from the east', covid threatening to cancel the festival and a guy sitting on a dead horse.... just need a moment to remind myself that two high profile injured horses on the same day is tame compared to what we've dealt with in recent years :highly_amused:




I am absolutely wounded right now though.

This is the longest week of the year. My head is spinning trying to keep up with knock on effect of all these injuries and with Mullins bingo going on in the background. Think I'll just go offline for a week and see what I'm left with after :glee:

Forgot about the bloody beast from the east too...

Given the sporting parallels with 2020 already this year, a repeat of the same Superbowl teams and winning side, a Hendo superstar will he wont he run saga which ended in the latter option, Leeds United getting promoted to the Premier League, they just will.. to name a few.
I'd expect Gordon Elliot to have a very good festival. More winners than Mullins. But given we had a Lisnagar Oscar win that year, the Fortune is a cert... Definitely worth considering any winners from that year running again, winning this year...Sire Du Berlais, Saint Roi, Envoi Allen and Shishkin most likely.
There's more to this stuff than mere coincidence i'm certain so Nicky will get his win in the Supreme and Henry takes the Arkle, Chianti Classico takes the Ultima as Kim Bailey had a day 1 winner that year.
So Salvador Ziggy with the Nh Chase, its just written.. like it's already been run. Or maybe i'm just a conspiracy theorist or worse a loony. Its all there to see if you dig..forget cold hard form. Good luck to all.

The handicaps are looking like the main events at this year’s festival, sad state of affairs, hoping the BHA and Cheltenham wake up

With a pretty mediocre ante post portfolio this season troubled by injuries from the get go. I'm half tempted to say fuck it and follow you in lol.

A harsh lesson this week with the antepost punting. I’ve fairly got stung.
