From Matt Tombs article today, this is mad

"If you count bumper horses as novices, 65% of Willie’s 88 Festival winners have been novices."

There's threads fucking everywhere :highly_amused:
It'll over face some, and the autistic ones amongst us will be hysterical.
I'm struggling and I've been here all day.
Had to have some opal fruits to relax me.

….I think Saxon Warrior updated summary’s need copying into the first post of the new threads as they are very useful.

Just to clarify……the banana was eaten about 10 minutes before I got in the bath.

Just a few on my playlist, Beatles, Four Seasons,Leon Russell and couple of others , was a quick bath

Like a bit of Frankie Valli myself, and Beatles of course.
The Night is one of my favourite songs.

Bit of FJ miscommunication !
All Saxon Warrior's handicap threads from last year have been recycled for use this year with updated stats/numbers added.
The handicap threads I set set up last night have now been closed for comment.
Apologies for the duplication all....

:encouragement: Appreciate that.
I think Kevloaf knows I'd have politely declined though.
And ComplyOrDie does a cracking job, even when he censors my posts or deletes them. (cancel culture gets everywhere)

Fuck me if id want Frankie Valli squeeking at me when I’m trying to relax …I’d keep having to check if they’d dropped every 5 seconds before I realised it wasn’t me singing.

FAO of all members - after a little phone call with nortonscoin200 today (which as a millennial, killed me - just send me some emojis man) we are going to be beta testing the idea of trying to crack a handicap in 24 hours.

The idea is - well have a thread where (hopefully some users will post trends, stats etc as pre reading. Across the 24 hours wed encourage everyone to post their opinions and make cases. I'll attempt to moderate and summarise. At the end we'll have a vote on Nailed On, Good Value, Dark Horse. Hopefully we can even make twitter go mad by creating some blue haha.

The Race well be starting on is the Grand Annual - has a great trend of horses not having run in 30 days and it'll be 31 on Sunday, so despite no entries well have seen the likely winner.

I'll be dropping the thread in tomorrow in the members area but would love to hear

- if you're interested!
- if youd like to do some pre research to share
- if you think it's a stupid idea and we shouldn't do it before I tell my missus I'm spending Saturdsy getting battered for the Ireland game, and my hangover on Sunday moderating a brainstorm on a horse racing forum
