    Think it's something like 3000 shares Nass. I paid £44 for 1 share for the year.

    That was Ryan Moore at his very best on Paddington. A great jockey. <applause>

    I’ve had a look at their site. Blimey it’s some business model!

    doing simple maths, if the average racehorse weighs 1100lbs (google) and it’s 4000 shares then you own 0.25lb of a racehorse.

    It's ideal for someone like me who would like to be part of horse ownership, but can't afford much. <ok>

    Agreed. But his next two rides were poorly judged

    Yes indeed, an inspired front-running ride from Ryan Moore. On those other two races you mentioned, wouldn't be too hard as, my own pick, Majestic, ran poorly. I am not sure now that Majestic truly stays the full 10f on a demanding track, which Sandown Park is. Hindsight of course, but I will be more careful with this one in the future! 'Famous last words', I guess? :emoticon-0100-smile

    I thought he got caught too far back on both and misjudged the rides. Both picked up and ran on well
