    Weird run, I want to see what they've said about him. He went short in running (3/1 according to TF), jumped and travelled savage that first circuit, I was worried he'd get to the front too soon. But he'd definitely dropped back into midfield before he came down and he was quite far back. Was he...

    Complete agree with all this. Racing has a fighting reaction (which it has to have to some extent as some anti-racing parties will never be won over) but it cannot react like this during crises and it must have a more open mind and honest discussion about what PT did. He's a champion and a...

    It's a difficult topic to broach and discuss sensibly, definitely. And I also get the argument that he ran on again and ran on straight (?) and true until the line. Imo it was definitely a worse mistake than Maj and Jagwar, but that is subjective on the horse and its constitution also. Did he...

    Liv schedule hardly ideal for the guys playing there imo. Rahm reaping what he has sowed with his decision to join Liv too.

    A struggle of a meeting for me with the fallers / horses we've lost. Even Impaire and Hitman who've lived to fight another day have been tough viewing, both left me grimacing. And as for Townend, serious questions need asking imo of that ride out. I know the questions won't be asked, and a...

    Think Saratoga was value for a fair bit more personally. Walsh put the whip down not long after the last

    I'm surprised Bryson is as short as he is. I know he played well the 3 rounds last year but I can't shake the feeling that the course doesn't suit him, especially under the cosh

    Koktail Divin be one down in trip for next year imo, travelled like the wrath of god into the RSA. But Heart Wood still old enough to go again imo

    Time figure for the RSA wasn't great, FWIW. But the form will get a boost in 3 weeks round Aintree anyway

    He's changed his focus towards this in the last couple of years (with the main focus being the title mind) and he's had plenty of graded winners to be fair. Of his graded runners at Chelt, only two finished outside of the top 10 (one was a 125/1 shot in the bumper) so I'd say he's maximising the...

    Would you really be blown away by how she won? Jade wins if she was a bit closer imo, not sure she warmed to the task early and PT lost his irons - was a strange race.
