    I remember the year Zarkava won the ARC, that Clown Riki stood in front of the nation and said he would walk home if she won the ARC and that she had no chance, i hope he enjoyed the walked home...........

    What he knows about horse racing you could write on the back of a stamp with a marker

    Many thanks to all who have put down their thoughts, some good calls to... Even with the ****e weather weve had this year we have still had some memorable moments, so lets hope that 2013 can bring us the same drama and excitement that we all so truly love...<cheers>

    Best horse for the year - has to be Frankel
    Best Jockey for the year - Walsh
    Best Trainer for the year - Henry Cecil
    Best Race for the year - Cheltenham Gold Cup
    Your most memorable race - see answer to previous question
    Best Commentator - no real favourite
    Worst Commentator - nobody a really dislike
    Best Presenter - Alaistair Down
    Worst Presenter - Jim Mcgrath (C4 - knows his stuff but really gets on my wick)
    Best, 'Oh my god' moment of the year - every time Frankel raced
    The, 'You were right, i was wrong' moment of the year - I'm always right!!!!
    The, 'I was right, you were wrong' moment of the year - had a really good Cheltenham, topped by Synchonised. Looked a contender in the Lexus and proved it in an admittedly below average Gold Cup
    Worst moment of the year - Nicky Henderson beating Fulke Walwyn's record for Cheltenham Festival winners. NH is not in the same league I'm afraid.
    Race your most looking forward to next year - Gold Cup - shaping up to be a cracker already
    Best Horse for next year - Sir Des Champs - now a great price for the Gold Cup - get on!!!
