This England v Ireland thing on ITV is really starting to annoy me and I’m Irish. Who cares where the horses are from or trained.

Couldn't agree more, they make such a big thing over it and surely people just back the horses they fancy and don't care if it's English or Irish, i certainly don't.

Congrats to all BB AP backers, I’d say that was a nice few minutes. Want FAF to be the monster in the next he looks but have a nagging feeling this is going to be very close
 
jeez, Nico on ITV there with Chapman :uncomfortableness:
 
Not really their fault

Feel bad for them

post race interview could be interesting if doddie wins the coral cup

Oh I'm not blaming them at all, I feel for them too. I do think Nico has let himself down there though, however much it was understandable.

I really hope they do get a win on the board soon. Everyone knows how much Nicky cares, arguably too much. He must be so low right now.
 
What happened Robith?
If you don’t mind me asking

Chapman started to do the post race interview with beaten jockeys. Didn’t quite catch the question but it was something like “Pulled up again”. Nico looked daggers and said “you should be sorry for asking - same story different day” and walked off.

Chapman said "I'm almost sorry for asking", Nico said "you should be sorry for asking, same story different day".
 
Sky not letting me select SP prices today, anyone else came across this before?
 
Bad news! Skybet found me. 365 found me today. Down to WH only. VPN I bought not helping. #spank the bookies
 
That possibly saves the Trainers Championship for Nicholls?
