    He's becoming one of mine. Couldn't have helped his cause today though racing 8 deep. Was bang there coming round the last bend but his track position left him far too much to do.

    I'm bemoaning mine. A good friend of mine knows Full Jack's owner well and reckons you should always take note when he's got one in a big race at Mussleburgh or Ayr. Loves having winners up there more than anywhere else. Didn't even look at it today <doh>

    Never mind Smokey, you can always rely on the Owls to cheer you up <doh>

    Champion Hurdle falling apart, expect The New One and Moon Racer to be running at this rate <laugh>

    Still a heartening performance from Faugheen for me. Clearly not the horse of a couple of years ago but nice to see him produce a grade one performance they can all be happy with. I'd put him away and consider letting him take an early retirement. No need to risk running him again.

    Surely you'd send Supasundae for a crack at the Champion Hurdle after that? Wasn't it Ted Walsh who said nobody ever went into horse ownership dreaming of winning a World Hurdle. Can't be afraid of one horse.

    I totally agree he’ll smash everything up. You couldn’t possibly think otherwise. Every antepost I have is doubled with him. But, that confidence isn’t because he’s a superstar but more because the rest are a mix of handicappers and grade 2 horses.

    Jesse just confirmed Supasundae remains on course for the Stayers. And she does play with the straightest of bats.

    Yep your right there Bob, this will be one of the poorest CH I can remember.BD is certainly no superstar but looks a banker and will go into many punters treble possibly with Footpad/Apples Jade.
