How good is Ben Pauling. I commented on a post on Twitter last year when he had some horses taken away from him and said he was a man on the up and to just keep doing what he was doing and it wouldn't be long before the likes of JP sent him horses. I think he actually has this year. His wife liked the comment anyway and this man will be above Nicholls next season. He doesn't have the army to win a champion trainers championship yet but certainly has the class to take the big races. Top trainer
 
Going to hear a lot more about BP

Just saw that was his first grade 1 winner since Willoughby Court, woah
 
Happy looking horse Constitution,little bit of bounce in his swagger,loving being back on a racecourse.
 
Hello police? Id like to report a robbery in TW16
 
McCoy on TV just said something very strange when asked about Corbetts Cross after the KG…..he said his future maybe GC or could be over Hurdles !

Corbetts finished close to Spillanes in the KG on ground he doesn’t like and to be considering hurdles…strange very strange :rolleyes:

AP is a very man
 
King George usually a great looking race but has a few slightly questionable looking winners very recently imo. And a couple who would maybe be better known over shorter trips. It's also rarely run on bad ground. So an early slightly left field shout for consideration - Banbridge. 33s best price with PP but not in the market on BEX unfortunately.

I've actually already backed Fastorslow for the race. Who I think it should suit. The french horse and any big Mullins runners targeting it won't be welcome :welcoming:

Iv thought for a good while that Joseph is the best trainer going about

He doesn't have a stable full of stars but wins at the breeders cup, royal ascot, melbourne cup, cheltenham, aintree and now a king george

I thought il est francais had done an allaho for most of the race but his petrol light just hid red a furlong too early

Does anybody know what dates the forfeit stages are this year? Can't find anything online

Aye, will never know what price that might've been.

Agreed FinalFurlong91 Joseph performs very well with what he's given. Obviously has the Nepo baby thing as a big helping hand, but he's clearly very good at that he does. And tried to do things a little differently and is likable compared to most as well. Be nice to see him get some more at the top table.
 
Anyone played Henderson for championship trainer? With con hill looking like he's back and jonbon being top of the 2m chase division, Henderson could win a fair chunk with those 2 alone come the spring, 16/1 available with 365 interested to hear others thoughts? Obviously got a fair deficit ton vercome atm with Skelton
