    A great run Stick, demonstrates he is in rude health and on better ground his time cannot be long coming.

    Unlucky Stick hope it wins soon, Personally i think it needs to be dropped in grade, i know there's always been a lot of reasoning when it doesn't win but frankly it's only ever won 2 races, both class 5's and even then both of them were by small margins, a head and a short head. I think it's simply just running against horses too good for it. Needs a 0-75 / 0-80 race.

    De Sousa 16 day ban due to whip. Not the greatest time for the lad!

    That's all he does though, whip crazy. Has little finesse IMO

    My favourite flat jockey by a long way is De Sousa

    Arguably his best race was in a Class 2 handicap when he ran 2nd carrying 9.6, giving the winner 4lb.

    Spot on Ron.

    What Chelsea says does make sense to a degree. If we keep running in this sort of race chances are that we keep bumping into one. That horse tonight will win up in grade.

    We still believe that we have a horse well capable of winning in this grade and off this mark and let's face it, what does he owe us?

    We have to aim to get to the same race at the end of the season on a fair mark with conditions to suit and he will have a huge chance. We don't want to be dropping into Class 5's.

    I know what you mean Ron but that must make it all the more frustrating, what i was trying to get at was maybe it just needs to drop to a class 5 so it can win a race and get it's head back in front then go up again, at the moment it keeps bumping into a few good'uns, or just not having that final winning mentality / ability to get it's head in front.

    Hurry up and run it at HQ stick that should get a win into it, Squire loves Newmarket! This weather is ridiculous and doesn't help as well, you just can't get a clear one week forecast at the moment, rain/sun/rain/sun every other day so the ground is constantly an unknown

    Unbelievable. UK break up next? Who can lead us out of this mess?

    Cameron should resign as he is responsible for leaving this decision to the public
