Can I ask who runs the WhatsApp OFTS to send me a private message to add me please?

I am definitely going to struggle to see these threads in the next while with work and also the missus is due Hogmanay.

Appreciate if someone would DM me the details to the whatsapp also

[Atlantic Viking]

Yep, me too.

[Eudipe]

Count me in too please.

[Imperial Commander]

Yes that would be great, WhatsApp is nearly always open but didn't get to the JDB cashout in time yesterday.

[Star De Mohaison]

Could you add me as well. Must say big thanks to the lads who brought the news here

[Zachx02]

Would appreciate an add

Been consistent rain the last day or so but it is dry in Carlisle now and flooding is very localised away from the city - more towards the Lakes.

Would have thought very unlikely the meeting is at risk and if anything will make the ground nicer as it was still good to firm up until last week.

I’m 10 mile away and it’s just never stopped, Cumbria is a weird place for localised weather.

Interesting from the RP that HDB was happy to let Russell and Kennedy keep riding Minella Indo and Envoi Allen but that Gordon has insisted he rides his entries

That said "insisted" is doing some heavy lifting there. If you're retained jockeys and your boss has entries in the same race, that's your job right?

That article is so unfair in so many ways. Not only are they both paid to ride for Gordon, but Rachael is paid to ride for Henry, can’t imagine her being too pleased to see other jockeys getting the leg up on some of his best horses.

Kennedy got the ride on indo because he was basically the yards second string at the time and I’m sure he fess thrilled to be in the right place at the right time getting asked with the way things panned out but I’d be amazed if he had any expectation of keeping it this season in preference of the retained rider at Henry’s.

Article totally unfounded IMO trying to create a story out of nothing.

Typically since I posted there have been some fairly heavy downpours.

Optimistic that racing should still be ok for Sunday though

Hopefully pal, it’s the best race we get all year be a shame to lose it especially with that field.

Where abouts are you at? I'm around 12 miles away

Carlisle has to be in serious doubt. Rained for 36 hours straight and no signs of it easing up.

All aboard the Cumbrian weather watch.

I know someone who works at the course - will try and catch them and see what the vibes are.... suppose it all just depends if we get a break in the rain.

I was just doing to the nearest 10 haha. Same town as you. I didn’t realise who you were at first, but now I do. Bet you can’t guess my identity

Not much to go off but do you like Jaeger Bombs?
