    This one is better from RP:

    "Darren Egan and Mark Johnston (Scatter Dice) have a 100% strike rate when teaming up"

    To be honest Ron I'm struggling to understand why Prince Khaled kept him in training. He always comes across as a man who loves the sport and the challenge of it so I would have thought that sending Frankel to the Arc would have been right up his street. I'm not going to start saying that he keeps on beating the same horses because at the end of the day an exhilarating win is what everyone loves to see - I just think it's a sahme that they;re not seeking to doiscopver the absolute potential of the horse.

    That's why I backed it - watch that strike rate suffer under the pressure of the Starkey millions!

    The Arc is out of the question.If they sidestepped the Eclipse because if was too stiff an ask they aren't going to Paris to race over 12f on soft ground.

    Amazing to think we're even discussing this but he is such an unbelievable animal that everything seems possible.He ran a level standard time today without breaking sweat.

    The h'cappers in the BHA state he is likely to be retired with his potential largely untapped.

    What an incredible,if ultimately sad,thought that is.

    Mark Johnston regularly runs several and wins with an out of form rag.

    Hard man to pin down!

    Odddy I refuse to call him anything after the first race wooop

    now in the next I really fancy HASBAH - that fat bastard Chapple Hyam better win me some money this time his last one was ****e.

    anyways travelled all over everything in a fair Yarmouth maiden on debut and unbelievably finished only 4th. The winner that day HASOPOP went on to smash a 1/2 shot by 7 lengths and is now rated 92.
