Grizzly: Thank you, that's very interesting on the Tote bids. Remember being quite upset when a bookmaker won control of the old Tote. I really don't think they should run the thing, and with a bit of effort the government could have found a better solution? Just an opinion, of course.
Sorry Grizzly, didn't mean to come across as being critical. Top thread mate and lovely story about horse x
OddDog - not at all, certainly didn't see your post as being critical. Still haven't worked out the smilies otherwise would put a big thumbs up just about here ! Swan - I think many share your concerns, always struck me as odd that from the wide range of interested parties at the outset a high st bookmaker won the bid. By the way, having read a tweet from Paul Nicholls the horse Stewart was raving about seems to be called Rocky Creek, I will check just to make sure there isn't a Ricky Street that looks like a Supreme winner in waiting....
