  • You have to be concerned with the weather. They might be forced to put them away for next year.

    • My only gripe is that it has clearly been 'soft' enough in England, so a bit of pre-planning as you start to run out of time can be the difference between having that important prep run or not. They done it with Laurina (in the end). I'm not sure on the racing calendar, but surely it doesn't matter where he started in terms of quality of the race, I mean look at that pathetic attempt of a 'race' Laurina had to run in. As a spectator and more so a punter you just want to see them being able to jump a fence more than anything else at this stage.

      WPM knows best though, if he thinks he can turn up with these horses and win the competitive races without a prep then who am I to argue with him.

      • How many have won the Arkle off one chase start? Western Warhorse the only one I can think of.

        • Some rain forecast for next week so fingers crossed we may see him & a few of the other stable fancies soon. I never thought I’d see the day where I was only short of doing a rain dance to encourage the heavens to open in a country where the polar opposite has been the norm forever.

            I think WPM has managed to ruin a few stats/trends over time!

              Contraband? Well Chief? I'm sure one of the DJ owned horses did it.

                  Well Chief won of the back of one run.

                      Gowran on the 24th looks like the next opportunity. If he doesn't run at that meeting then I'd be getting worried, as they'll surely be tempted to stay over hurdles.

                      He could end up in the Coral Cup.

                              • Just me then! Probably because I have the worst 'habit' of recycling mine when I do cash that they probably don't care so much, either that or I cashed out and they never meant to offer it and clocked on quickly, unsure.
