    Guys, I'm watching on delay about 20 minutes behind. Just came on to say the Checka <cracker> (just watched it well done I know others tipped him too). Was keen to avoid all comments but is there something I don't want to see?? I have paused before the next race at Dubai and am going for a piss. Hopefully by the time I'm back you'll warn me which race I don't need to watch...

    Apparently he broke both front legs. Devastating and very unusual.

    RIP <rose>

    cheers lads, even 'watching' it in x12 speed i got the gist of what happend. Terrible to see, it doesn't matter how many times it happens it's always a sickener.

    If we can lighten the mood a little (and RIP Fox hunt) how would you feel if you'd won the scoop 6 and the bonus fund race they gave you was the lincoln ?<laugh> Mind you as they're both on mia's Boy I hope they win.....

    EW bit of the spring double still in running. Fury is an interesting horse, not sure what to make of the Lincoln.

    Burano in the next at Meydan - impressed me at donny last year and i still blame Richard Hills for him not winning so fancy King Kieren to get him a place today - doubtless Entifaadha will beat him out of the frame today <steam>

    Fury had every chance and wasn't closing at the finish...no excuses from what I could see.

    Taking account of the claim he was running off 95..Will be a different proposition on soft ground I reckon.

    Big race in him.No doubt.
