  • Should spice things up a bit! A good move I think.

    • Very random thought but does anyone know what will happen with regards to anyone who has backed Lossiemouth for the Triumph? Gone to Willie from France and obviously there's already a horse of that namesake in the UK, so will connections have to rename?

      And if renamed, will any outstanding bets be transferred to the 'new' name :/ ?

      Probably a situation that has occured few and far between.

      • Think one is registered gb and one France so both can keep their names.

          Exactly right. If you're able to specify Lossiemouth (FR) then do so but Lossiemouth (GB) is a 7yo so they can hardly claim that you've backed it for the Triumph.

          • Galileo (POL) won a novice hurdle at the Cheltenham festival a season after Galileo (IRE) won the derby. That confused me no end at the time!

            • There was a flat race in Ireland about a month ago that had 2 horses with the same name in it

                      All good Kev.

                      Ive just posted up my Summer's work on my Cheltenham Diary.

                      Having to cut back a little on who, how and when the rollups came in, as I'm almost down to no worthwhile betting accounts, and I dont want to lose my last 3 or 4 and be left in the darkness.

                      Its on the most recent page (not page 1)
                      "Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".

                        • Just been reading some old Racing Post articles and came across one from April 2019 which concluded:

                          "The Irish National Stud also houses Quevega's yearling filly and two-year-old gelding, both by Walk In The Park, who were both described by Diamond as "good physical specimens".

                          The two year old gelding was, of course the mighty Facile Vega. It got me wondering whether connections will attempt to do The Champion Bumper double with his full sister this year?

                              The flat season has been very underwhelming for me and the amount of gash fixtures is off putting . That said, I went to Chester races for the first time earlier this summer and had a brilliant time. I'll definitely be going back.
