Long walk next... so depending on how she gets on there, you'd assume stayers be in the picture.

Yes and no haha. It was in the days when I had proper bets and I had had a shed load on son a mix and I was screaming at the jockeys for letting him dictate for the second fucking year running. After one hurdle I said I’m gonna finish second to this fella he’s gonna do it again.

I think that’s about as short as he’ll get. Unless, uk and Irish stayers fluff their lines.
personally, not sure about the frenchie. Had another trot round beating up some more Parisian oak trees:welcoming:

Cant say i know off the top of my head Lobos. But if he had no experience, should it even be a huge issue over 3m? I've no expertise in this area but if were the owner /trainer I'd be saying just keep tabs on Jack Kennedy and Townend and play your cards not too far off the last. Hes got some serious gears

Johnny Dineen had a right laugh at French jockeys on the paddy power panel yesterday. John Wayne looking types. :biggrin-new:

Sir Gerhard to have 1 more run over fences... maybe won't be until early next year.

He was pretty sore after his fall at the weekend, so that makes sense

Well, Willie has definitely lost it if true. The only time the jock got serious with him at a fence he fell. Risking further injury imo if they persevere. Silly Willie.

What race are they expecting to win with him over fences????!!!! Tut, tut Mr Thompson......put your foot down boy !!!!

Anyone on here backed him for any race over fences at the Fez?????

Don't think so.

We all can't be wrong and collectively we do have some knowledge of whether a horse is suited to fences or not..........and it's a big NOT with him.


There, had my say.

Feel better now.
