    Saturday 6th April GRAND NATIONAL DAY Thread

    i saw that as well, and at the beginning i thought it was going to be an idiots guide but it was actually really interesting. bit of a bias for T4T?! i agree about the bbc, the fatalities at aintree made front page news on their website, but SS didn't. at least they had quotes from the people...

    Saturday 6th April GRAND NATIONAL DAY Thread

    evening all, just popped in to mention big fella thanks. i didn't do my usual comprehensive writeup this year (apologies anyone who read last year's) and just did a quick spreadsheet writing off horses for age, weight, distance, lack of runs, or no experience over the national fences (which...

    That Was The Week That Was | Horse Racing

    i had an absolutely cracking festival this year. i didn't enter any betting competitions and just swapped daily selections with a mate. i saw all yours on here and my splattergun approach didn't fit any of them :embarrassed: what i thought was good about this year was that it was...

    Cheltenham- the anticaption is often greater than the reality?

    i've noticed that and looked at all the settings but to no avail, you can't change the aspect ratio by the looks, even in full screen. i even tried turning the subtitles on to see if that would stretch it. who writes those subtitles?!! someone either has no grasp of english or they're taking...

    Cheltenham- the anticaption is often greater than the reality?

    afternoon all, long time no speak. i had weeks without internet. silly virgin - no not me, i mean the internet company. the anticipation of cheltenham starts the week before for me, and then all of a sudden it's here, starts with the roar of the huge crowd, and then even quicker it's over...

    Frankie Dettori joins Big Brother house!

    he's been treated favourably so far. first in, placed in a privileged position with that rylan chap by the producers and they both got a lot of air time. so it could be he'll get good edits, but that can change overnight. a large chunk of viewers are middlish age women you're right king...

    New Channel 4 Racing- Thoughts!

    Horse hatred

    this is the thing, similar to what fulkes posted. i never don't like the horse, but i can resent a horse for reasons i know are not to do with it. i never really liked imperial commander (but i do hope he's ok after his injury) and i can't warm to long run. but it's not the horse's fault. it...

    Anyone play the violin?

    i can do that finger round the rim of wine glasses tune thing. would that help? and it requires drinking the wine in various glasses to change the tune, which might go a bit off key in the end :o cats are good though, they stay sane and project it where it's needed :)

    Tuesday 18th December Daily Thread

    just popped in to say very good call ROTO and stick on carmella maria. shrewd studying <ok> someone asked me why i bother studying the form when i might as well pick the favourite because everyone studies the form and that makes the favourite. but the result you guys produce here is why...

    Wednesday 19th December Daily Thread

    heisenburg i hope you're getting on ok and bearing up. i have double dash 1:50 NBY as well as some of you but in a reserve spot and it looks from my book like i favoured chestnut ben. no money on though. and in the 1:20 i just spent a while wondering why i've picked a horse called 'loser...

    AL FEROF & BIG BUCKS Out for the season.

    i found this a bit strange. but saying that it could also be a massive coincidence. it's also a shame, for the horses and those connected with them. i do hope they both heal ok. i was looking forward to seeing both of them as well. big bucks is the horse who made me appreciate that...
