    2m4 on the flat requires far more stamina than 2m4 over hurdles, even saying that if BB and HF met over hurdles in a 2m4 race my money would be on BB :biggrin:

    No, I'm not debating someone clearly on the wind up, behave yourself <laugh> Is this due to my Shergar comment I made earlier <laugh>

    Why would I need to be on a wind up, BB is unbeaten over hurdles. If you honestly think HF could win an Ascot GC then I suggest you take a look at his flat form, he was well beaten in Group 3 races, *** is a completely different class of animal :biggrin:

    Bring it on, I would pay big money to see that race!! I emailed nicholls a few months ago, just congratulation hiim on a good season and asked about an open day and he invited me to a morning on the gallops one day in the autumn, i might ask him that what he may think! lol cant wait for it, i always wanted to be a jockey but im 6"3 too tall. So I just own an ex racer now! lol

    Woolcombe, that's quite an offer, I'd be taking him up on that, perhaps he'll let you see your namesake work?

    Kudos to a trainer taking time out like that, especially Nicholls, who would have no shortage of having to deal with media requests as well as general public inquiries.
