    Yep - fabulous ride. Well done to those who backed him. This is some season for Jonjo too - which is great as he always comes across as one of the most pleasant people you could meet.

    If you were JP there must have been once or twice this season where you'd think Bazza should be your retained jock?!

    Home Farm, oh deary, dear <doh>

    Roll on Punchestown, much better racing!

    Disappointed but can't say I'm utterly shocked about Mossey Joe getting beaten. Was a stupid decision to run him 18 days after what was clearly a very hard race at Aintree (which they admitted was a rush job) over a bare minimum of 2m4f.

    Was just thinking that myself stick, but whoever was on board should have made much more use of him - he was just lobbing down the back straight. Should've asked him to quicken and win his race instead of trying to sit motionless and do a Carberry.

    Such an unlucky owner. Sold the Grand National winner 6 months beforehand and lost Our Conor at Cheltenham.

    Don't write off Mossey yet. If he's crap in the Champion Hunter Chase at Stratford then you can.

    Barely scraped home in that race last year

    Anyone see Ballyvoneen lobbing round at Plumpton to win again? Came 3rd at the course yesterday (beaten 5 lengths) and absolutely hosed up today. Brilliant to watch the Moore brothers coming off the final bend - Joshua throwing the kitchen sink at Get Ready To Go and Jamie quiet as a mouse on Ballyvoneen.

    The Chelski manager is a twat... what he said after the game on Saturday was stupid but then again with Mourinho there is this whole circus thing that comes with him. Did he get a fine or any other punishment following the PSG champions league game? I think he was some way out of the technical area and actually on the pitch!! How is that alllowed?
