Charismatic Kid....Like

Taken their time with him and pulled him from Festival Bumper as ground too quick. Tells the story on how much they think of him. Cost a packet as well !!

I hadn't noticed !. L.o.l. 😂.
Just checked , I also did , - charisma. K. , ballyfad , Wodhooh- styrs , romeo ,

All for pennies , for now.
And probably stay that way , unless it look's like Elliott making a Cheltenham resurgence.

Don't want to back C.K. for the Spuds , yet.
But I suppose if a free bet rolls in I might.
Seen a few people mention him.
including Gavin Lynch , good enough for me
and got on at good prices.👍.

Waste of money I reckon

agreed. doesn't seem to get on the right side of the handicapper any more. his graded horses either turn out to be not go enough or have a habit of performing abysmally at the festival when well backed
 
Just watching the video posted today with Paul Nicholls on Youtube and he is just constantly bemoaning the fact that if he still had those horses that are now with other trainers, he would be challenging up at the top and how frustrating it is.

"For whatever reason, the owners decided that they should go elsewhere rather than stay with us"

I feel sorry for him because of how great he has been etc but he is in complete denail isn't he. The reasons are glaringly obvious and if you had horses that are improving a bundle for moving away then why wouldn't you. He is pinning his hopes on this all weather track. Hope it works for him but it can't just be that. Like how football has evolved with sports science etc, i do wonder if his stables need a complete upgrade in the mod cons department. I can imagine everything being very old fashioned and them never needing to change. You can imagine the Skelton stable being full of all sorts of machinery and recovery methods.

Just listening to Josh Stacey interview on gallops with Gordon. King George very much on cards with Romeo should he run well on Saturday. They still think he'll go 3m and Down Royal will make their minds up early.
 
Paul Nicholls just 8 winners off breaking Martin Pipes all time NH winners record after his double yesterday !!
 
Evening gang, some fab minds on here, love reading all your thoughts.
I'm out for a cheeky few beers tomorrow, will be watching the racing.
Anybody got any bankers ?
A few good things would be very much appreciated.

Perhaps 4 of us can give you 4 for a Yankee. I'll start off with Notable Speech . Evens but he'll win.
