I'd expect the Don to be run in to 4th and 5th or P.U for most of the year...Grand National is surely his target and Giggy will be keen to line one up on a good mark after Rule The World's success this year. A GN has always looked right up his alley. Valseur Lido could be a very live Gold Cup contender. Looks a really nice prospect and beyond 3 miles will see him in even better light.
Just back from Toytown Racecourse. How close were we to landing some decent place bets this evening huh. Oh well, delighted with our boy again, he really is so much fun to own. Where is Boris with this evenings Breeders Cup tips?
haven't said much in ages here,but Nicholls winners today,flintshire tonight,and all prey for me f.t!
What a great ride- bounced out , slowed the field down and slowly turned the screwed then bang Found him 8l in the lead and nothing could catch him but fantastic ride from seanie judged it to perfection !! And I didn't have any money on him but was a class ride
What a game and result Ste - been a long time coming - sister was at it and says the atmosphere is electric - great time to be in Chicago with the Cubs winning the series after 104 years too....
Some heavy hitters have chucked a few quid at this. Pat Veitch and Bill Gredley single handedly smashing the target of £20k. The cash won't get his movement back but it may help him learn how to live a full life. Keep ploughing those winnings in chaps.
as you know I like a wee fun run so for 2017 Im gonna run :http://www.highlandflingrace.org/ : Im up for doing this for freddie-tylicki & http://fernandoricksenfoundation.org/
Watched the race, wished you (despite TV evidence) to finish 3rd! 4th from a bad bad draw! Not a bad result! KTF!!!
Gaz, I thought I might give this a bash mate. So I went online to sign up but very annoyingly the entries are now closed. Gutted! PS; #umustbefuckingcrazy
Yeah mate it went to a ballot and oh well I got one! you wouldnt believe the feckers thatve complained they missed out! whilst you guys wake tomorrow I will be doing :https://www.facebook.com/thesouthsidesix/?fref=ts
Im happy to be running these things at my age and when I see Tylicki ( a juvenile in REAL terms) and Ricksen ( a club legend) I KNOW I should be greatful to be able to chose to go out tomorrow at all! So if my efforts encourage an extra £1 in each coffer then I can put a wee extra step forward in acknowledgement of what we ALL take for granted! I may post a few times in the lead up to this race advising progress bt please donate directly!!!!!
A friend of ours died of MND this year Gaz. Before she died she set up a charity and was determined to raise £52,000 which would pay for a year of research for Professor Talbot and his team at the John Radcliffe. To date we have raised just under £80K. People talk about cancer, yes I know its an awful disease but at least you have some chance. With MND you have NO chance. Our friend was an amazing woman, an events organiser who was responsible for the G8 summit, the Popes visit and all the parking for the Olympic sites. A really clever cookie. It was awful and humbling to watch her decline. From diagnosis to death was a mere six months! We continue the battle!
God willing, legs permitting I hope to run Race to the King later in the year (2017) its a corporate deal but maybe I can run a side sponsorship for your friend! As Ive said I do this whilst I can so if any alternate gain can be achieved...................
