Spill the beans then....

Just about his life in racing, superb stuff.

I know we generally hear about the good punting but I've genuinely not had a worse days punting for as long as I can remember

It was one of them days that I question everything about how I approach horse racing and if I should even bother!

I might sign off until Cheltenham and then just after time the s**t out of it, thats how bitter I'm feeling about the day

Anyway, I hope you all had better days than me, it wouldn't be hard to

On to Naas tomorrow

If you have a history of profit from your day to day or weekend betting then I'm sure things will turn around. It was just one of those days that we all have sometimes.

I told my mates who I send weekend bets to that nothing interested me this weekend but I ended up backing a few thst came nowhere. Also had Authorised Speed to place in loads of roll ups....

Leg injury for Jack Kennedy, taken to hospital today

I hate it when the commentator says "they come to their final 2 miles" when it's a 2m4f race..... no need to say 'final' ....

Annoys me every time

I was more annoyed when he said they’d jumped their last hurdle and was still in the back straight. Not his fault but it annoyed me all the same. They need roofs on these race courses.

I always wondered why they couldn't have two giant metal poles with retractable translucent material for these situations. Particularly at Cheltenham, the "blind" may only need to be 10-20m high. I know that's high in real terms and probably a stupid idea for all number of reasons but it would probably solve the problem...

Just let the horses wear caps

Given that some meetings struggle year on year, I’m surprised there is no solution.

Just let the horses wear caps

Or sunglasses

Leg injury for Jack Kennedy, taken to hospital today

I hope he's OK, he makes a huge difference for Gordon.

I remember mike parry on talksport suggesting wing mirrors on horses, your sunglasses idea would compliment them !

[HesTheOne]

Poor Jack Kennedy, unfortunate with so many injuries in a short career. Talk of broken leg that would surely put in him in doubt for Cheltenham.

How much of an impact does it have at some of Gordon’s more favourable ones?

Huge impact on his team.

[FinalFurlong91]

Huge impact on his team.

Especially with Davy now retired

Gordon will be trying to get him to reconsider I'd imagine
