Over at Fakenham.......anyone taking 4/6 on the bint on the bike winning must seriously get their head tested. She should be evens to get round, she fell off one on the flat for Christssake!
Anyone taking the 9/2 about POTTERS LADY JANE in the bumper should, however, be handsomely rewarded.

My views, hope she has a good ride around and the horse finishes in the position it should.
I say, Swanny, you can’t expect a chap to reveal his sources. Cor blimey! It’s Alan King, by the way, who reveals all in ‘The Weekender’ (and Chas Hills on the level). Both are well paid by the publication to do so incidentally! Mr Henderson is far more discreet.
I’m sensing mixed vibes on the forum re Victoria Pendlebury, people. Still not everyone can unite, racing folk, like Mr Henderson can. What, what?!?

Chocca Wocca looks like she will finally make her hurdling debut at Market Rasen on Sunday (2.10). Look out for her as if she performs as expected she should then head to Cheltenham for the new mares novice heat, next month.
I won’t bore people by going on about Chocca Wocca again but just to say her dam was an extremely useful mare and her daughter potentially could be equally as exciting. She certainly looked very good in 2 runners in bumpers last term.

Fair enough, Sir Barney, did not intend to be nosey, but you are certainly well-connected information-wise with your favourite trainer! As for Victoria P., don't have much of an opinion one way or t'other. Fine cyclist, and I guess if she wants to have a go at horseriding, then good luck to her.
what an awful name for a mare btw. Sounds like something your cultural leader Russell Brand would say. I say, imagine him teaming up with the forums favourite trainer, what a clash of the ages that would be.
I never had a problem with her when she was on the bike winning medals. Then I watched a documentary on her and came away thinking that she was pretty much a "spoilt brat". Then she decides that she wants to "have a go" at horse racing and everyone bends over backwards and goes buying her horses and give her time and training because she is a gold medallist. Now I am damn sure that there are dozens of amateur jockeys out there with far greater talent when it comes to riding horses that are far more deserving of such a leg up. However, because they are not "box office" they do not get this opportunity...she does!
Nassau, don’t for one second think I’m a fan of Russell Brand! Can’t stand the odious fellow.
Chocca Wocca’s dam was Chomba Womba so that probobly goes some slight way to explaining the daughters name.
Didn’t the beat combo of the same name have an incident with that old rogue, John Prescott, at the ‘Brits’ a few years back. They could have been really inventive and incorporated him in the mare’s name!
Haley Turner is not really finding her feet on Attheraces, says nothing of interest and speaks as though she is not presenting anything at all and just sitting over a coffee table. Bob is looking like Claire Balding whilst trying to keep her afloat. She may improve in time but for me she is only around 10 times better than fitzy at the moment.
