You were there first! <cheers>

1. Who's the only European trainer to win races on four continents? Weld - Europe, North America, Asia, Australasia 2. Who's the only European trainer to win a division of the American Triple Crown? Dermot Weld - Go And Go - Belmont Stakes 1990 3. Who was the first woman to train a...

Hear hear. Very near the top of the tree and still climbing.

I wouldn't be touching Peddler's Cross with a barge pole, and I say that as a big fan of the horse as you well know. He seems to have taken the 'up to 3m' route very quickly. He was a close 2nd in the Champion Hurdle to the supposed best hurdler since Istabraq only the season before last. Why...

I'd be very surprised if this wasn't his target, Wuby. Many of those ahead of him in the market look doubtful runners so can see him being shorter on the day.

Not sure whether this has made it onto here yet but it needs watching. Brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AXgGuInYOY&sns=tw

On that subject..... Best Prices and current BHA mark: 13/2 Grand Crus - 157 7/1 Hunt Ball - 157 8/1 Cue Card - 157 12/1 Menorah - 160 14/1 Aerial - 155 14/1 Champion Court - 156 14/1 Crystal Bonus - 152 14/1 Silvaniaco Conti - 155 14/1 Giant Bolster - 164 16/1 Divers - 140 16/1...

Me neither. I think he'll be seen to much better effect this season.

I've seen him, they like him but he was called 'Mono Man's brother'. Mono Man is definitely one to have on side but I've no idea what they're planning with him.

1.1 Simonsig wins the Champion Hurdle

I'd be amazed if a decent handicap hurdle was not within his grasp off of 141. But it appears that chasing it is, right from the off.

http://tommarch.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/simonsig-sized-shake-up.html - I posted this on my blog just over a month ago. Given subsequent market movements and comments it is looking increasingly like this is the route he will take. He is now beginning to challenge Hurricane Fly for favouritism in...

Hinterland, who appears to be Paul Nicholls' number 1 Arkle hope, is entered for a novice chase at Stratford on Friday. No idea whether he is an intended runner but a sign that some big names may be about to start appearing again. If Simonsig stays over hurdles, as now seems likely (see...

Oh dear, I will bow out. <yikes>

A non-mathematical approach is the flawed one. It's no coincidence that most successful punters are mathematicians, or tended that way at the very least. Patrick Veitch is just one example.
