    I'm gambling and pokering to pay for a wedding so I'm not spending a grand to go to Spain so it's out for this year at least. If Murray wins Wimbledon, however, I've paid for the wedding and honeymoon in one afternoon so it's back on the table.

    You're right about the lineup. Looks really good.

    The tickets themselves not bad around £150 that includes 8 days camping and flights are cheap enough if booked early but costs a fortune when there for food beer etc... Will definitely go back one year though!

    Missed the kick and then stumbled in the first few yards. Not really tried with after but was slicing through the field hard held at the end. Make sure this one is in the notebooks!

    Great shout Rude.

    Stick that Baker info was spot on despite the outcome. Couldn't have had any less of a run but looked to have an endless amount in the tank. Does look like a right old mare though with her tail flashes.

    4th July, American Independence Day and sadly looking like the day we lost Nelson Mandela, an inspiration to millions.

    I didn't like the couple of flashes ROTO but apparently she was very worked up in the paddock too so it could all just be greenness.

    Here Bob - and anyone else for that matter - have a look at the Hitler Brian ODriscoll video on you tube. I am too stupid to download it on here i'm afraid but it's brilliant.

    That's it.

    Hilarious.

    I wasn't far from that talking to myself on the loo on Wednesday morning after I'd heard the lineup. Great clip Dan.

    I've backed them already with last weeks winnings. I hope we win but Gatland's a knob.

    I'm just kicking myself that i never took the 9/2 on the series win last week when it was available!

    I know it's already on the Friday thread Bob but your shout in the 4-00 at sandown has been backed into 6/4 already! Took 9/4 on it last night.
