Below is a newspaper report after the 2008 Melbourne Cup - at least the Aussies are onto it! I love the comment from Murtagh about his horse being...
No it's not Ron. The affect of the ground is overrated in my opinion. I've often sat and watched C4 racing and heard the pundits saying a horse's...
Yes - that would be another one beef. I don't see how anyone can deny it happens. The no-hopers are just there to get in the way.
Very sad to hear that Richard Fox has passed away today. He has been on life support for 2 months so we have been ready for this news but it is...
My main maxims are: Ignore the ground - it is the same for all of them and most horses are not affected by the going (ignore all that c**p...
The sad thing is I don't think AOB is deliberately uninformative! He is very privileged to be where he is and imo does not hold a candle to the...
Yes famous - none of us noticed Hurricane Fly winning all of those G1s!
We'll have to stop agreeing like this Shergar! Although it is not technically cheating it is certainly not good for the sport which is why...
famous - perhaps you should ask your friend Aiden why he insists on running so many horses in certain Group races. I'm sure even he must have some...
Spot on beef. HF was the best bet of the meeting at Cheltenham this year. The only thing which can stop him is injury and sadly he is prone to...
Good point about the maximum runners per trainer Shergar. I have been mulling over that one for some time and think it could be worth an...
Shergar - I'm half Irish so half of me should be offended by your comments. But they certainly made me chuckle at work today. Nice one! We used...
I agree with Zenyatta. Carlton House stayed at Epsom and today - he was simply not good enough. Breeding is only ever an indicator of how a horse...
My word lindentree - you are certainly a successful "old knacker"! I have just watched the Mill Reef Derby and Linden Tree ran a cracker - giving...
Good point Shergar. I know there has been the odd renewal in the past where the English and French Derby winners have clashed in a "decider" (not...
Thanks Bustino. That would explain why Minsky was considered such a big scalp at the time. I can't remember what Linden Tree did as a three year...
I also knew Tony Driscoll, Linden Tree. He was travelling for PW when he was having his big winners. By the way, I think I am right in saying the...
I did not know he had died - very sad. For my money Budgett's training of two home-bred Derby winners was the finest flat racing achievement in...
Some really good points there Zenyatta. I was also brought up in a racing environment and I will never forget my first saturday afternoon at...
I'm not convinced Carlton House did not stay. I thought before the race he might not quite be good enough and for me that is how it turned out. It...
