Just to clarify for anyone that saw the original post, this has been pulled forward now to tomorrow evening, Thu 20th Feb.

And for anyone that thinks they can guess which horse, there's a curve ball coming this year!!!
 
Oi oi - apols, been absent from here for a bit. A loooot going on in my life which I won't bore you all with.

Did the Naiad happen? Can't see the usual torrent of excitable chat on this thread with people saying how they've made a few traders have cardiac arrests... If it has, would a member kindly message me the name if it's being kept under wraps?

Hope everyone well.

Hopefully everyone going to the Festival is up for a meet up at the top of the parade ring steps as far left as you can go. Next to the gantry and side on to the presentation area and the ITV team.

Immediately after the race before the Ultima tomorrow, and the same timing again before the Cross Country on Wednesday for the

Looking forward to catching up with you guys that can make it.​

Barely went a yard. Hope people followed advice elsewhere and laid it all off.
 
Apologies for having the weight of my money on it.

Shocking festival for me.

As the self proclaimed voice of reason, don't you think it's a bit weird that you felt the need to include what could be perceived as a mocking last sentence in such an emotionally charged moment for a lot of people?

NO - Your comment is more weird. IMO

How is it mocking ?
I can't control other people's perceptions. If that's how you perceived it then you'd be wrong.

Life is sweet and sour.

And Busselton was shit, he fucking pulled up.
But the double spectre suggested worked out lovely, and they both ran great races.
