    Quel, Clonbanan Lad is going to love this ground today mate. They should never have run the horse at Cheltenham on quickish ground.

    Hello lads.

    Nothing today for me again but got to admire the hardy souls turning up at Punchestown...real racing fans..just like the Royal Ascot brigade.

    Interesting to hear Ruby et al say the ground is perfectly safe and has a sound base under the surface water.

    Equine water polo.

    Just got back in. what a shambles, this is totally unraceable. what is going on? Greedy greedy. Champagne Fever very gutsy, RV if you played <applause> . even if you didn't great shout. glad i banked most of that 10/1 forecast now! really hope all the horses are ok. Also great shout on Snap Tie Toppy I was put off playing in that race by the ground but a really tasty winner that you're in some form. Who do you fancy for the Guineas! <laugh>

    Some top yards represented in the Kempton maiden but the trainer with the best 3yo record there is Bin Suroor.
    So I am on his IHTIFAL. Not her first visit to the track...lets hope she goes in the stalls this time.

    Looks like it will be off tomorrow because there is more rain forecast.

    Champagne Fever goes straight over fences. I imagine he'll follow Florida Pearl in going for the RSA. He looks a galloper to me and I fancy he'll find one or two with too many gears in the Arkle. Mullins doesn't like running his good ones in Grade 2 unless the owner insists. :bandit:

    Los Amigos in the next at Punchestown. Sire's progeny go best on heavy ground and the dam sire has produced some good stayers. It's a complete lottery but 7/1 that's the best I've got to take on the fav.

    What do we think of Real Madrid v Bayern tonight lads? That away goal for Real could be key and I fancy Ronaldo to do something special

    Ricci's racing manager has just said he goes chasing next year on ATR. Probably not 100% definite but very likely.

    Paddy Mullins just said Willie is thinking about it but nothing set in stone <ok>

    Should be a great game. I didn't see the game last week but I heard, and I'll be interested to see if you agree, that Real were awful yet were still 2 minutes shy of leaving with a draw!? Mourinho, imho, is as good as anyone in the game and I think Real should have too much. But they had a huge fixture last weekend and Bayern have tons of speed to hit on the break. They'll have to take their chances I feel and will almost certainly need at least one goal. I wouldn't rule out extra time, I could easily see it being 2-1 Real.
