    2026 National Hunt Nov H’cap Chase

    The distance lost was probably around about the distance he was beat, if not even more than the distance beat. He wasnt closing any further at the line though, and Holloway looked to have more up her sleeve if he was closer. I'll go with that story to stop myself losing my shit 🤣

    2026 Champion Hurdle

    In all honesty, that should be her third champion hurdle win we just watched. I'll take it though 😂

    Clearly not a two miler.

    2026 Novice Chasers

    Its something that winds me up no end when people post info on twitter. If they have something to say, then just say everything they know clearly. If I had that info that they claim to have, my post would be something like the following.... "I'm told by a trusted source final demand is lame and...

    Ah yeah that's right they said he didn't travel at all. So that would still be directly contradicting what Stacey and others said on twitter.

    Josh Stacey confirmed he was on the boat, but not sure he confirmed his well being. Maybe he's been found to be lame while on the boat, which could explain the differences in opinion between them

    The barstewards people might be right, maybe they do have a source that nobody else has. It's just to my knowledge they don't have a track record of knowing this stuff before other people. And people who are normally reliable are saying he's fine.

    I'd say the safest thing to do is ignore it, and if he's out, then so be it. All the people who are usually reliable are saying he's fine, only people saying he's out are barstewards enquiry, who I've never heard of until now.

    See a few others on twitter saying he's fine, josh Stacey one of them. So somebody has there info wrong, but don't know who. He's currently not as weak as you would expect him to be on the exchange if he was definitely out.

    Anyone familiar with the barstewards enquiry? Do they seem decent reliable people or idiots?

    If final demand is out and koktail goes banc, then paul likely rides kitzbuhel and slade steel is number one for henry in jack richards. So maybe a double there. Although slade steel is already short enough so kitzbuhel maybe the only one that might shorten a fair bit.

    ‘26 FRED WINTER Juv H’cap Hd

    Cheltenham have also randomly announced today that the course has been changed. Not sure if connections have been told before today, it might be just punters that they have no regard for. Another straw clutcher, but it might have some effect on someone in the race. I haven't read much into the...

    2026 Martin Pipe Conditionals Handicap Hurdle

    Saint le fort and Karl des tourelles same owners, so I'd imagine one of them will go elsewhere.

    Day 4 Yankee - ManyClouds

    They cant say she didn’t stay, but they can say she was out of her comfort zone against top class horses, and she belongs against other mares. Or maybe she was really out of her comfort zone 😂 something about it just didnt sit right with me when I watched it live, even just where she was...

    2026 Gold Cup

    The second part of that is the part that I think might have a bit of logic, as I was saying earlier. I still don't think will happen though. Gaelic Warrior will definitely go gold cup now as townends ride, meaning that if jp did supplement fact to file and run jonbon in the ryanair, jonbon...

    2026 Gold Cup

    I was partially joking with my post a moment ago, and do think he'll still go ryanair. But wouldn't be totally crazy to think that maybe part of the reason for going ryanair was because they knew if they didnt then gaelic would likely step in and clear up. But gaelic will go gold cup now. So...

    2026 Gold Cup

    He'll go gold cup now because there's no fear of gaelic warrior going ryanair, and jonbon can beat heart wood, banbridge and impaire 🤣

    Day 4 Yankee - ManyClouds

    I'd agree with a couple others here that theres a good chance they weren't trying with her at the drf. Mullins laughed off the suggestion of her going for the gold cup after she won in the UK, he doesnt want her anywhere near the race, it was the owner driving it. I'd say there's a fair chance...
