Nice work atd.

Totally missed, as I was travelling but top work.WP.


a snippet for those who have been waiting for Moon Racer, the Champion Bumper winner, to resurface. Apparently the "slight setback" Pipe mentioned in November was actually a broken pelvis!

Probably not going to be seen this season, if again at all.

Not all well at the Pipes, I gather!!

What was it Blakey says 'Couldn't lie straight in bed', lol.

Shame to hear that, looked to have huge potential.

Great to see Hereford is reopening.

Scene of my first ever bet of £500 many moons ago watching a horse called Rowlandsons Jewels clip almost every fence and then have to be driven out to win a small field race at Evens.

A horrible seven or so minutes at the time, but the place retains a fondness for me as a result.

Nice to see some good news for a change.

At first glance the Taunton 2.45 would look like a race to avoid, but i dont think all is as is seems.
the fav Johns Luck was 2nd last time but only 4 finished and trainer not in best of form.
Whats Lark also finished 2nd but was 66/1 and the 2 joint favs didnt finish and looked a flukey result.
Eaton rock 'won' a 4 runner race as the winner was disq then ran tame race after.
Rebel benifit won couple small Irish points but not shown much here.
Brendon hill lad won a few low grade hurdle races and a chase off 95 but wasnt much of race and well beat since.
Mount prospex hadnt shown anything until last run , which wasnt too bad, hurdle race tho. p/u only chase start.
Garde Fou bolted up in first hurdle win, but went up in weights and down in finishing, first chase and got 11-12.
Badger wood is interesting , and had 2 decent hurdle runs at track.not sure about the distance for him tho.
tikkapack,some finish ,trehan cross and residence and spa i just couldnt have.
This leaves us SOMERSET LIAS, local trainer , not many horses but they have been running ok.
ran in some ok hurdle races without winning, seems to be a better chaser and had a couple of decent runs.
will deff like the trip, and has first time cheekpieces.
Off of this mark in this race which isnt that strong looks worth a little go at 13/2
I have done it E/W , but its prob not a great e/w value race.would be disapointed if its not in the farme, good luck.

Best of luck with this one, I will follow you in, e/w double with spellmaker(last race lingfield) and a couple of singles.

Had a go at this on your recommendation. Shortening already is a good sign. Good luck pal.

Badger Wood showed his liking again for taunton.
Ours had every chance turning in but didnt have any gears, won a bit for the place tho, on we go.

Coral already looking at £2m pay-out on opening-day Mullins four-fold, according to rep on ATR

seems high for this stage, even allowing for PR spin, doesnt it?

Probably a few on at much bigger prices than they are now, but they love to lay it on thick, so I'd say you're most likely right.

[Karabiner]

I know he didn't beat much but what a spectacular round of jumping from Douvan.

As good as I can remember from a novice 'chaser.

Think Ricci Rich said yesterday that Douvan is the best horse he has ever owned.

[horseplayer]

Be happy to topup on Nichols yet again if beat here

Especially if Faugheen gets it easy infront

Come on the Canyon

[horseplayer]

that went well..

Career best from Faugheen bar the demolition job of the last

Not giving up on Nichols yet hopefully some silly prices about tonight

[Marky147]

14/1 with Spoyles, straight after the race.

Scary thing is, he's likely to improve for the run, too.

That day 1 acca is now best priced 10/1!

Hope I'm not feeling as sick as I did last year :/
