Crowdfunder - Fat Jockey Forum upgrade

Hello Fat Jockeys,

Upgrading the Fat Jockey forum!: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fatjockeyforum

We're looking to upgrade the 'hosting CPU' so I've set up a crowdfunding project.

I would love it if you could donate using the link below to access my project page. Any contribution large or small will be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

        Jeez! Not seen this.

        Could affect how I back her for the coming season, can cash her out for the Mares Chase, but It's Nicholls, he's no mug either, is he!

          I'd say he probably didn't get to decide myself, from memory I think Jared is quite a strong character. He'd have no bother switching her, would he?

          • Sure is a surprising one anyway, thats at least 2 of Sullivans gone from Mullins that are known of as of now.

              He (Sullivan) comes across quite impatient. I know him and Chris Giles had their differences, and went seperate ways when in partnership. And obviously sold Buveur D'air too

                Interesting!

                Took a little punt on her at 33/1 for the Mares Chase with the vain hope Willie might bring her back to her best. Was unlikely and can cashout for 95%.


                I don't know whether to just cut my losses now, as despite being a huge Nicholls' admirer, is this scenario now less likely.




                I might leave it... what are peoples thoughts in this move?


                If you couldn't touch her with a barge pole, then I don't need to know, that's assumed by a no-comment



                Sorry CoD, didn't see you'd posed the same musing!

                • Clearly fallen out like This Gigginstown episode. Think he may survive though.

                    I'd keep her on board. Nicholls could turn her around. Don't be surprised to see her go back over Hurdles.Coral Cup anyone??

                      Far from clear.



                      Nicholls has always had a relationship with Sullivan, it was a bit of a surprise when Willie got some horses with them as up until that point they had ALL been UK based?



                      Perhaps they just want to have their horses in the UK again? Gordon hasn't got any has he?

                        Nope, Nicky has/had some though.

                          Probably right. Keep costs down

                          • Big link with Noel Fehily too isn't there.... I bet that has a lot to do with it.



                            I'm pretty sure I'll cash Laurina out for the Mares Chase now, however the price is unlikely to move anyway so no need to jump the gun.

                            • Sorry, didn't see the discussion in here before my post in the Mares Hurdle thread.

                              I think Nicholls/Sullivan had a falling out during the Potensis split and then Sullivan was enticed in by the French buying power with WMP.

                              I wouldn't be out to back her for anything on the back of her last couple performances - she looked gone. Paul can bring them back though, but as far as a festival target is concerned given Paul's not so Cheltenham focused approch, you'd be brave tying up reserves at this stage.

                              • I haven't seen any quotes but I'd have it as a positive to her chances in the Mares Chase, rather than Mares Hurdle.

                                Couldn't have PFN winning the Mares Hurdle but he is a master with horses over fences (in my eyes anyway). Be interesting to see what route they go down.
