    I’m with them too and they’re slowly taking away the various incentives they previously provided but havent locked me out yet. You must be a much better punter than me.
    Could he be the next Garde Champetre and end up excelling over the fairground course?

    It was an eye-watering price wasn't it. A good bit of salesmanship from Gordon I reckon ;)

    The underbidder calls for another bottle of Chablis every time CP runs

    Lovely win there for one of my favs - Kerry Lee’s Nemean Lion. I must be deluded but I still expect Langer Dan to be in the mix coming to the last in the Stayers.

    A hard watch for the forum in the 3.45 as both Rock Danse and Jeffery's Cross pulled up. Rocky could never go the pace at any stage of the race and just fell further and further back (I think that answers the ground question once and for all - he needs it soft/heavy). @gillamandango you were right about the bounce with your lad.

    I hope both horses come home fine and eat up in the morning. There will be better days <ok>

    All fine post race. Ours blew up in the back straight 2nd time round and then looked after.

    The last time I saw Rocky run (can't remember when it was but the winner looked decent) they went too fast on the ground. I felt he needed it soft but we'll see. Hope he is OK
