    They're closing because stake restrictions on the FOBTs aren't the same money maker as they used to be, no? Same reason three Coral would open in the same town 500m apart when they were only allowed four terminals in each shop. I think a love for horse racing and betting shops being a mess...

    Aye, all the best Big Chang. Sounds like a rough situation

    What you thinking? Melbourne Cup? They had a go last year I suppose...

    I see Endorsement, who is fav for the Ballyroan tonight, has been bought by JP and sent to JOB. Be a very highly rated flat horse if they send him down the Triumph Hurdle route! An interesting move from Coolmore and AOB to JP and JOB if he's not heading over jumps... Appreciate he's not the...

    Do many Cheltenham winners start their season at the Galway festival?

    I'd likely be all over The Jukebox Man if he turned up in a Ryanair but I'd think there's very little chance of it happening. Harry Redknapp in the game for the love of it isn't he. Think he'd always be looking towards the Gold Cup. Not even chances the single but couldn't entertain it in a...

    Mark Walsh on Dinoblue "She's a brilliant mare - she's very versatile. She's a joy to ride and she's one of my favourites. "I'd say if it was a weak division this year, you might see her running in a Champion Chase." Makes sense being a non stayer over two and a half @Lobos Would have no...

    One of my early related doubles. But it doesn't sound like it's on Gordon's mind... Yet.

    He wants to skip Cheltenham because two and a half miles is her trip. If only there was a two and a half mile race for her there...

    Think you'd need Kopek to face him and beat him pre festival for IET to go out in trip. Alternatively Kopek may consider it. But that doesn't suit me currently... I'd be most interested in Jukebox if anyone wanted to go NRNB though :LOL:

    26/27 Out for the Season

    Glad they've decided to retire him. Didn't really need to be running in 9k Hurdle races getting beat 20 lengths at this point.

    Aye, if it's trainers Mullins is your only real option. Think these types actually make sense more than four unrelated ones to be honest. But for the sake of this you could go really loose themes - like 'novice races', 'previous festival winners' and that type of thing which just slightly...
