    Does anyone else buy into the claim that JP McManus is more than friends with Mrs Harrington and asked his retained jockey to make sure My Tent or yours didn't win ahead of Jezki?

    No, I buy the fact that My Tent Or Yours is a hyped up flat track bully.

    No worries Boston and Beefy... Trust you both enjoyed the day. Had a great day and ended up about evens for the day.. Had Sgt Reckless, Trifolium, (narrowly missing out on the Tent but boy did I get excited) and Shotgun Paddy. The one that let me down was Manyriverstocross. 5 races bet on. 3 places and that narrow miss!

    Well done on Vautour

    Well wait until I see Brian Hughes tomorrow, I am going to explain to him that he takes his horse around the leader and not up his arse.

    Brilliant day today, such a shame about Our Connor. It was a day of "what if" for me with Rock On Ruby smashing a fence out of the ground, The New One getting impeded, Cockney Sparrow being impeded and Attaglance looking a really unlucky loser. Still a nice winner in the first paid for the day, and it was rather nice on the hill today.

    Interestingly, you might be able to say that Glens Melody wasn't shown the full Paul Townend drive!!! Or is that libel?

    The New One would have won half the ****ing track, some serious egg saved from many faces on here. My Tent couldnt go past Jezki ffs TNO would have pissed that on the snaff as most of us knew pre race anyway.

    TNO was definitely unlucky, no doubt, but seriously he gets some amount of excuses for the times he's beat doesn't he?!

    Did any of you clock Buywise in the last? He hit every fence in the back straight then just about all but fell at the last but rallied to finish a very fast finishing 5th. 1 to note for the future for sure

    Well, he probably saw Townend pulling the handbrake!!!

    Why didn't they run Annie Power in the Champion Hurdle? Why?

    Think the minimum trip on that good ground would have been her undoing Nass, whether she's have had the toe to compete with those I doubt. Softer would have been a different story perhaps and if it has have been that, we could have seen her line up.

    At least it's livened up Thursday's racing!

    Either that or they wanted to give Hurricane Fly an easier race.
