Think it's running. The winner of the Imperial Cup pulled out so think it would have been withdrawn by now.

Paintball was balloted out, which was a real shame for me as It was one of my outs.

Paintball bruised a foot during exercise and was withdrawn Phil, not balloted out.

oops my apologies Ralph, I had bet in NRNB and saw the stake had been returned, I assumed it had missed the cut as it was settled before the race was run.

Don't be daft Phil there's no apology necessary. I heard the trainer left it until the last minute to withdraw hoping that it would indeed be balloted out and then he wouldn't have to pay the final entry fee.

Better day yesterday, but not that much up for the week - all my winners have been shortish prices, and had 2 horses in too many races.

Got Ubi Ace in the County Hurdle, Boston Bob in the Albert Bartlett, Weird Al in the main, Salsify in the Foxhunter, and Kumbeshwar in the last.
Think Long Run will win the Gold Cup often enough, and it's a big ask for Kauto, but would be amazing to see the legend win it's probable last race.

Will obviously add loads of no-hopers once I get in a hole mid afternoon!
