Good Luck today everyone today unfortunately I got a few wrong so on a bit of a catch up for winners today. Always hope!!! Best of Luck

I’m either up and free rolling after the 1st day or struggle until the Friday ! I’m also playing catch up today but the racing has been absolutely brilliant. Competitive and open as the pinnacle of our sport should be.

This is pure pocket talk but that was an atrocious ride by Townend on Karbau

They went no gallop

Anything held up had 0 chance

You're right, two rides in big fields around the outside. He doesn't fancy getting hurt before the big one.

Shocking rides. Lost so many lengths. Only works if you’re on a galopin or state man

He better give Steinberg a better ride!

Townend has ridden poorly Thurs and Fri so far. You would think he would learn that hold up tactics aren't working. I do think the man's brain dead at times. Obviously he will win on Gaelic now, but it doesn't excuse the rides so far

Recurring theme for this festival is nothing is coming from the back

He rides the course better than anyone since Ruby. He's got a couple wrong. It happens. You don't need to be on the pace in the County, typically. He got it wrong, but braindead is a silly statement.

Didn't want to be on the pace there

We should have a place to say goodbye and pay tribute to any horses no longer with us.

We'll start fresh from today and I'll sticky for ease but hopefully we don't have too much traffic in here.

…..I’m calling this;

2026 Diamond Geezer Champion is @Quevega with 171 points

Runner-Up @ComplyOrDie 149 points
@Big Bucks 106.2 points
@Eudipe 103 points

Terrific effort from Q, couldn’t believe the number of races he scored points in. Well done CoD for getting near him & BB/Eudipe for smashing 100 points.



I do suggest the Avatar of winners could be marked with a star with DG on it if that can be done.

Time for a rum.

haha, what a leaderboard - Fat Jockey legends

About time @Quevega did something worthwhile on here

Prestbury Cup final score.

15-13 in the end. Almost 14-14 but for that final race.

GB win the handicaps. No contest. Can only remember 2 Irish handicap winds, the Fred Winter and the X Country.

….so glad I asked @Quevega to captain the March Yankee, just hope he hasn’t peaked too early

 

[ComplyOrDie]

The biggest thank you to you @Eggs for running the competition.

 

[BigChaang]

Well Done Quevega , great effort !..
And C.o.d too.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can find trainer comments /interviews from after the race?
Racingtv usually has the winner, but I'm interested in some of the places horses.

Rewatching all the graded races and particularly interested in anything JoB said about Zeus Power (among others)
