Just put in a request. Names the same there. No imagination me

My 7yo granddaughter, who’s never shown interest, just said “wow nanny” as Cracksman came off the bend. Had to rewind for her to watch again. Mind you Nanny was screaming like a nut job as Frankie threw the reins at him .

Actually that music suited him. Enjoyed that reminder cheers

“He’s gliding along, or is he” “he’s pulling away, or is he”. Even back then the tv commentators had a problem making their mind up about Cracksman . Wonderful, thanks for posting that race, I’d forgotten how dithery the race caller was.

Can’t wait to see the offspring from Estimate. Oh and Hello folks, taken almost a month to get signed into the group. Cleared out junk and forgot to save the passwords . Still, lots of catch up reading over my coffee this morning.

That was a rather extraordinary run.

Loved the pricked ears at the line.

People seem to get tunnel vision when it comes to breeding, when in fact breeding is only part of the art of turning out great racehorses. Handling, riding style and above all training make up a good 60% of the outcome. No doubt a well bred horse is a fantastic start, but if a trainer can’t or...

Just watched Wadlsafa win. Would like to see Dane O’Neill ride more of Frankel more headstrong offspring. He got that just right, let him run and held him without tugging at him, hence saved the horses energy to enjoy his race. Judging by the way he was nodding his head from the paddock on he...

Considering he’s the perfect size for a police horse and was as a 2yo. I’m amazed he’s managed to get his legs in order so early. I hold hopes for this boy, but as a 4 year old, with luck he’d of grown into himself by then lol.

Trust me to miss Betty F and La Figlia. Obviously need to go to spec savers.
