    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Seems a bit steep, but it's a lovely day for it, some fair races, few drinks as the evening creeps in and it cools down.

    2026 Novice Hurdlers

    Looks like they've found him a bumper today at Worcester, been gelded too since they picked him up, can't say I ever feel confident when they're brought out in the summertime for a debut run.

    Lot of talk about French breds here which aren't thoroughbreds, they're APQs which are crossbred (Not pureblood like thoroughbred), so maybe that has something to do with the longevity & being more capable to stand harder racing early in comparisson to Irish or UK thoroughbreds. There's no hard...

    The trip would be ideal for Romeo, I do have some issues with him now though, his form during October through to Febuary reads 1121111, but March to May reads as 23P25, also 3 trips to the festival now and he's not managed a win yet, maybe the new course will suit him better than the old course...

    Sure did, gave him a lot to do from the second last, it was a race for stayers not sprinters. Hopefully next season they'll keep him at the trip as looked to have loads left just lacked gears...which is perfect for the stayers :D

    I'd say watch it again, on the front angle you can see he never got his front legs over, they went through the fence. For such a superstar he needs to work on a few things before next season, that said Gaelic wasn't straight forward in his early days either so..

    2026 Flat Season

    Just walked the dog down the devils dike then across the Rowley Mile, now you can't get into the final mile as there's workers all over putting up advertising boards, I expect they'll be watering overnight as the sprinklers were on the peat moss gallop, but for now it's like a road all over...

    Oh he'll have a plan incase it doesn't show the pace for 2m over fences.I'm sure of it.

    Pastorius hasn't sired anything thats won over further than 2m6f yet, maybe in time but for now the evidence is in Skeltons favour. I'd be thinking the Jack Richards is a good fit myself, I guess it'll depend how he takes to fences and what else Skelton has for the Arkle, but we know he is a...

    2027 The Prices on Offer

    No idea if he'll do that, but a girl who worked/works for him occasionally works with the missus, she said he's no notion of taking out a licence after the aintree race so only basing what I said on that, I'll get the missus to ask her again when she's back at work, on a bit of a hiatus here atm...

    Imagine if Nico had done the same on Sir Gino because "the winning line was in sight", doesn't bear thinking about.
