    An interesting days racing. Although Sprinter Sacre didn't win today, it was nice to see him put in a credible run. I think those wanting him to be retired are wrong, as he's still capable of running well in top class races. He's obviously knowhere near what he was, but he's still competitive.

    Hats off to AP McCoy for a great career, I didn't back any of his runners today, but I'd of been happy had they won.

    He will without doubt be remembered as the hardest worker and greatest trier in the sport. Probably the greatest trier in any sport. However I don't buy this nonsense that he should be remembered as the greatest jumps jockey, as there are atleast 2 jockeys riding today who are on another level to him in the saddle. And there records in big races prove this :biggrin:

    Altho how great the racing and atmosphere it was today, is it just me that feels abit of a travesty he didn't have a winner!

    But what a great man he is and Good luck to him and hopes his future is as successful as his past

    I picked the wrong Nicholl's horse too. Unioniste helped set the whole thing up for his stable companion's late charge! <doh> Great ride by the young lad though......<ok>
