    Can't wait for Punchestown to start tomorrow, some unbelievable races coming up.

    I never bet trebles but I've done one tomorrow.
    Champagne Fever 6/4
    Sprinter Sacre 1/7
    Back in Focus 100/30

    Was really torn between Boston Bob and Back in Focus but if Back in Focus is good enough for the Ruby one, he's bleeding well good enough for me. Boston's jumping would worry me slightly as well. Lump on lads!

    I knew King Olav was going to do that at some point soon. I just wish he would have done it more in the two previous runs when I had backed him. Good ride by Kirsty Milk.

    Powderonthebonnet 2nd - getting a bit pissed off now with bad rides in bumper races. That's two horses that should have won in the last week. This one and Oscar Tanner who admittedly had a very inexperienced jockey on board. 5/1 and 14/1 though. Really frustrating.

    Bob, you probably do not know this but Oscar Tanners saddle slipped after about one furlong. The boy did very well to get him the whole way round and get a place. He was literally just using the stirrops to balance and clinging on for dear life for the best part of two miles so rather than it be a bad ride it was more in the realms of "ride of the week".

    Like Gladiatrix in the next at Windsor tonight!

    Godolphin trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni to face BHA hearing after serious irregularities discovered in samples from horses including Certify

    Certify will not be allowed to run in the Qipco 1,000 Guineas in May. "This is a dark day for Godolphin," said racing manager Simon Crisford

    Godolphin trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni said: "I deeply regret what has happened. I have made a catastrophic error."

    I didn't know Stick. I just put it down to an inexperienced lad not knowing how to use the old encourager because it didn't get used at all in that race. The horse is in my tracker as a sure fire winner NTO.

    "catastrophic error" is putting it mildly.

    Thank goodness Dawn Approach stayed with Bolger

    How can he say he didnt realize the anabolic steroids were "not allowed" outside of competition. Idiot or cheat, you decide. He is toast!

    Exactly stick, an intelligent Man trying to play dumb alway's a sign of guilt. Cheat imo.
