Just a quick look to what the boys have said about the racing today as its been a good one... Well done Jongleur, i had 4 winners at HQ my fav being Zarkandar... All about the guts and glory in this horse that really makes me love him, and even though Ruby was at work first you know he will respond... I agree with you stick that it will be a very different race come March, so we shall have to wait, but i do think that Zarkandar can get better for March. How much, well we will have to wait and see... Al i know is that we have one race already that will be a great match up come Cheltenham in March... I think the discussion will continue closer to the time... Right thats me off to work with a spring in my step, roll on the next big racing weekend... Well done to all winners today... ps - Oddy, my dad lives in the good ole US of A and it scared me when he told me he had a gun, Its just not him, and dosnt suit him, and not every house has one. But there are enough guns and idiots out there to scare a lot of people, and as we know in the wrong hands it only brings sadness... Another tragic, tragic tale of young lives being lost at such an early age... Very sad indeed...
Stick: 2-0 with 23-mins to go last time I looked. Surely we can't fluff this one, God I hope not! Red: Well done today fellah. Zarkandar is a great favourite of mine too, not much of him but he's all heart.
God we made that hard for ourselves, should have won by 5 or 6. Tough run of games now but who knows what we can do after a lift like this! Cheers heis ;-)
My mate had £5 on 2-1 at 14s. He was bricking it - especially as he'd sat next to me when i did City v United to be 2-2 last week Pleased for you, Swanny, Bustino (yes i remembered this time) and any other Rs fans on here.
Dan: Real pleased for your mate, very nice bet! Yep, it has been as rough as I can remember, Premier League or not. Harry will still have to keep waving his magic wand to get the R's out of this pickle, long way to go. Congrats on your job promotion, BTW! Have a great Sunday!
Absolutely tragic to see Crystal Bonus breakdown today, amazing to see the kindness from Ruby keeping the horse still so they could help him as quickly as possible. Really saddened me on a day of great racing drama and a winner with Shooters Wood.
I have just done a blog on the ups and downs of racing, feel free to have a read if you want. As already stated - RIP Crystal Bonus and Hildisvini
backed Abbraccio in the next, because it is a 75 rated horse at Wolves in a maiden. Managed to get 9/4.
Nass I put a large bet on Chesterfield in our L2 Betting Comp. Listened to the commentary on Player. It was hilarious; just like listening to our commentators. Should have won by all accounts.
I caught some comments from our fans, sounds like a typical game against Burton, bit of a bogey team are they.
What exactly happened to Cristal Bonus?..I didn't see any action today..Sad news for connections and fans of the game
Jumped the 7th fence then broke down, basically one of his hind legs looked to have broken. He was stood with that leg raised off the ground for a while until they got the screens up. Really sad.
The camera didn't show it Dex - he was at the rear and the focus at that time was the leaders. The commentator just announced that he'd gone wrong and was being pulled up. For one I'm glad not to have seen it - it's bad enough just knowing. But this is the sport that we love and follow, and we just have to briefly regret, then move on. Edit: Nass saw more than me then - I was lap-topping as well as watching and may have been distracted.
