Nass: Not far from the truth! Another fav line of Ferdy's 'will win a good race one day' but never what race LOL
Gaz, Divers looks prime for another win at the festival too. These nights always give good snippets about the Championship races, I quite like reading the feedback from them.
To be honest I've always found these evenings great or the non championship races. There tends to be so much coverage and discussion around the big races that few secrets exists whereas in the handicaps and novices there are a few that can fly just under the radar. Zenyatta does the Royal Oak preview in Prestbury and will confirm that 2 years ago Mark Ball (syndicate manager of Lets Live Racing) relayed a conversation he had with Nicholls in which PN said that his nap of the week was Sanctuaire - PN had the fav and 2nd fav of the Gold Cup but made his entry in the 24 runner 4 year old novice handicap hurdle his nap, and duly hosed up.....
The date hasn't been announced yet bit the one in North West london is always quite good - Alan king and Dave Duggan are normally there. One year I went with Killian Red and we took Weapons Amnesty, Peddlers cross and imperial Commander from it - only he backed a few more of them than i did
Are you still in touch with Killy Chippy? Top bloke, always loved his New York slant on things. Used to come on 606 at like 4.30 AM New York time and say he was already at work. Always had that coffee smiley too
Please do not have any bets 'free or otherwise' on Hidden Cyclone as he will not be going to this years festival, they are giving him another year There are also rumours coming from Ireland that Minsk will not run this season at Cheltenham, anyone heard owt?
