220 sienna says 11/2
330 gurkha friend 6/1
Nice winner, also had it on my thread. De Souza learned his lesson from making hard work of winning the 2.20 (slowly away, then got baulked and almost completely trapped on the inside before a gap luckily opened up), didn't mess about this time, every post a winning one.
 
PEARL NOIR 5.00 Ripon seems a very good bet, ticking most boxes here. Won LTO, has the highest draw, track suits front runners, runs off bottom weight and has 7lb claimer on and has won this race for the last two years. Money for it and currently 3/1 Fav.

Well that was a bag of ****e, won by a horse that I backed ew last week and came 4th.
 
Its not about the geography. Put Bromley up on here and backed them at the QF stage when they were 10/1.
Ironically my parents live in Brackley (todays opponents).

Oh dear, oh dear, Stick! Looked like your money was in the bag till seconds from the end of 5 minutes of extra time, then Brackley score to level it. 30 minutes more of tension now.

Reactions: stick
Players on both sides were already collapsing with cramp, dunno how they're going to last the next 30 mins. Brackley will have the adrenaline now though.
 
Pigeons – here is the cat...

Just watched the Auteuil races replay on Racing UK and I have to say that the fences in France are a complete joke. They seem to be small and made of such unsubstantial brush that even I could jump over them without a horse!

I have no idea what the jockeys seem to be doing as the runners seem to be spread ten yards apart across the track most of the race so it is only when they come to the last that you can tell who is actually leading.

Amazing that so many French-breds seem to do so well when brought over here. I guess they quickly learn that the fences are a bit more substantial when they are schooled at home by their British/Irish trainers...
