    It's normally him and bostonbob posting it over and over again, no one gives a **** if they like it or not and it just adds nothing to the forum, I don't bother with the jumps at all but I'm not going to come on here all winter and keep saying jumps is **** every day.

    It's also perhaps a case that a few posters generate many of the posts between themselves and if those posters are essentially jumps men then it takes out a large amount of conversational posts if they are not posting. I have no doubt the forum and the daily thread in particular attract a lot of attention from many who do not post so often but still enjoy seeing what's being tipped up by the knowledgeable posters and reading peoples thoughts. Although only 60 posts it has had nearly 1300 views.

    Great Run from American Hope finishing 6th, possibly beaten by the draw, I backed it E/W @ 50/1 with Paddy Power who paid out 1st 6 Places 1/4 the Odds

    Good Luck <cheers>

    Well done Swanny - That is truly mastering the art of selective punting if you can discipline yourself to one bet at Royal Ascot.

    Absolutely sick with that to be honest. No question in my mind that he would have gone very close to winning if he was drawn near side. Travelled like a dream, was forced to hit the front too soon as nothing his side could continue to lead him into it and he idled when he hit the front. Front 3 far side were well clear of the rest of that group. PP paid 6 places if anyone backed with them (I didn't!) but unquestionably the draw beat him.

    Hopefully a couple backed him with PP.

    Gutted for connections more than anything.

    You don't seem to post much during the flat season either Robbie with your 87 posts.

    The way I see it, there is plenty of ****e flat racing and almost as much ****e NH racing. Conversely there is some very good NH racing and even more very good flat racing.

    Many thanks, guys, nice to get a rare winner! I dunno, I can hardly dare to watch England, but must steel myself. Surely they can win this? Cheers, Tegernseer Spezial Oddy! <cheers>

    Nice one Smokey. These 25/1 winners aren't easy to find.

    Peter Chapple-Hyam has tweeted to say that INCHILA has been found to have a pelvis injury and the next few days will be crucial. If she gets through the next few days she should make a full recovery, though her racing career is likely to be over.

    2 more winners for McCoy tonight at Ffos Las - that's 61 for the season and its only the 19th of June. I think we may well finally see the 300 mark broken this time around, hope he can stay injury free.
