    Champion Hurdle 2027

    Thought that was mad a nice race from runner up, was quite slick over the hurdles. Not sure where the horse fits in, obviously not CH class, but might have a nice race to win at some point

    Couple of races I piss money away regularly and it’s the Truimph and Bumper. Especially the latter. Trying to keep the money in the pocket for those two till later. Mind Narciso I should have backed, was glaringly obvious.

    Gold Cup 2027

    Forgot all about him Yosser, backed him last year, and obviously didn’t make it. Definitely no 100/1 ew shot if everything falls into place.

    If that comment is enough to move a market we are all In trouble. Unfortunately bookies look for anything to shorten a price up. Ludicrous. They should be embarrassed

    If memory serves there was a horse that I was interested in that showed on odds checker and as I had no lads account I went to the shop to be told I can’t have a bet in shop as there were no odds and can only do it online. Ridiculous muppets

    Anyone have any strong views on York. Think a speed track suits Ombudsman much more than CS, though large dollop of rain would dampen my enthusiasm and also like the entry for Gentle Hurricane ew in the Acomb which appeared to be a race that is targeted.

    Lovely words Eggs, not surprised about the taking time with fans. He used to live up my road when he was a player and talked to him on a few occasions, usually when he was taking his daughter for a walk in the pram. Was mindful that he was probably just enjoying some time to himself, so never...

    Just wanted to say a few words about King Kev, been a sad few hrs. My boyhood hero, and still is. Day after the World Cup final and the horrific way the way those raggie Argies play the game only makes me more more nostalgic for the way Kev got our players playing. May not of won anything but it...

    I’m in Australia ew at 11/1, sure to go well with jury votes, and there a lot of rockers this year, maybe a ballad will be a blessed relief. Think it’s a decent ew bet
