Good Luck <ok>
 
Nice card at Donny, especially the novice chase with Josses Hill taking on Cheltenian and Solar Impulse. Wasn't this the race where Sprinter Sacre made his chase debut a few years back?
 
HIGHLAND RETREAT looks a good price at 2's. Gets 4lb from venetias runner and beat a good horse and will try to run from the front and looks the type to improved even further
 
I've noticed a few occasions recently Woolly, where AP could have ridden a JP horse but hasn't, are they maybe trying out other jockeys in advance of him calling it a day?

Will be interesting to see who gets it will they have a young upcoming jockey would like to see Feihly or someone like Aiden Coleman get it
 
Mark walsh has been doing an excellant job of late this side of the pond riding for jp especially over xmas.maybe walsh will get the gig full time for jp's irish runners after mccoy retires, not sure who would be in the frame your side chaps?
 
I'll have to have a quid on Cheltenian ..... I don't expect Josses Hill to get beaten but I want to watch the race, and no longer have ATR.

I'd be chuffed if he DID win of course!

U get rid of sky or just ATR only costs me a pound i did stupidly sign up to RUK did the free trial then forgot and am now in it for 12 month!! Lol
 
Sgt Reckless on the flat tomorrow....surely he will beat a 78 rated flat horse! Going to try and get the first three up at Lingfield tomorrow with him, China Club and Don't Be. I don't do multiples as a rule but hey ho trying to build the bank up for the big gamble to come soon.
BABY SHINE is just too big to ignore at 7/1 though Highland Retreat is a lovely mare.

Good luck to you all

Try this Reebs: http://cricfree.sx/at-the-races-live-stream

(it is working right now - and if you scroll down the channel listing on the left hand side you will find RUK there too)
 
If you have an android phone download MOBDRO app from their website and both atr and ruk are way down the sports section. Tend to work most of the time or try wiziwig.
 
Thanks for the TV races advice chaps ... i tried Oddy's link and that works the best I can expect.

I moved house in October to a rural location ,,, and I do mean rural!

Internet is through telephone wires, and being a couple of miles from the exchange means very low download speeds. I currently get less than 1MB which makes for a lot of buffering. I didn't want Sky anymore, although I get the TV signal through a dish via my Freesat box - they have had far too much of my hard earned over the years! For some reason the ATR replays and live streaming doesn't work on Google Chrome, which is my regular browser, although it does work with IE (but still subject of much buffering of course)

Trouble is you don't choose your home on the basis of it's internet coverage, and I love my new place. And it has racing connections .... the name is Tattersalls Farm (I'm approximately 20 miles from HQ) The house was built by Walt Disney in the 1930's - he wanted a "genuine Elizabethan country house", so in typical American style, he had one built! He cleared off back to the States at the outbreak of WWII and the house was sold. It was while he was here, that he met - and read her book - Dodie Smith, the authoress of 101 Dalmations, and in 1961 he made the animated version of her story.

There is also a rumoured to be a connection to Derby winner Airborne, possibly via the jockey, but I have yet to ascertain exactly what.

Here is a pic of the house (if it uploads) - only the ground floor of this wing is mine, someone else has another wing (not in shot) and the owners of the farm live in the rest of the house. It is a working farm with stabling and loose turned out horses - none racing as far as I know. Plus plenty of free range chickens and peacocks, which my dogs would like to meet and greet. In fact Frankie DID meet one, cornered it and tried to kill it. Fortunately for the chicken Frankie has only got four teeth, and when I ran over he let go and the bird squawked off. The rest didn't half create a din though <laugh>
