[Hammersmith bookie]

Come on Blackmore, show them the real class of the race !

 

[Chaninbar]

Great race that. Fair play GDC. Good winner

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

Ffs ended by the faller when about to make her move. The winner looks a decent horse, but would've liked to have seen what would've happened if Tard hadn't been ended like that !

 

[Steveo]

Best horse won - good effort from Bravemansgame though.

what a great race - best Gold Cup for about 10 years I reckon!

 

[OddDog]

Some horse that - they have done a great job settling him and he was very professional there. Could well go on to do a Best Mate and win 3 Gold Cups

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

Somehow Noble Yeates finished 4th ! An excellent Grand National prep

 

[Grade One]

Away from the Festival...

3.45 Fakenham-Parramount @ 5-2 [Bet 365]

Would not look out of place if running at Cheltenham

Won @ 3-1

2-1 to win next year

I see that Hammersmith bookie is the same gentleman who posts regularly on the QPR () football thread. He certainly knows his onions on horseracing, and is doing very well in the comp. run by Chaninbar. Well done indeed!

 

[OddDog]

How on earth did Buddy One get beat in the Martin Pipe? Well, jockey lost it I guess but he looked nailed on coming up the hill

Let's hope it makes up for him being a QPR supporter, as we know to our cost.

 

[SaveTheHumans]

More confident today than yesterday but we know how that usually ends up then. Here goes;

Blood Destiny
Hunters Yarn
Sandor Clegane
Conflated
Famous Clermont
Magic Daze
Imagine

All the best to everyone having a go

Sandor, Conflated and Imagine all made the placings. The less said about the rest the better. A tricky day.

The first two days proved very fruitful and the next two not so much.

An excellent Gold Cup winner makes you feel he could dominate that race for as long as je sees fit.

Well done all and especially those with there head above water.

Nothing can make up for that pal lol ! It's a life of misery, but what can I do, I was born near the Bush !

Weren't we all?

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

Weren't we all?

Not sure pal, there are some on the Qpr board who were born in a Bush, and simply got confused !

Yes, probably nearer than me. But I lived very close to the Ellerslie School end for most of my formative years.
