  • RIP Diverge. I don’t know, but assume it is related to his finishing lane at Punchestown.

    • It is rancid that it takes until that weekly release for a horse like him to be confirmed to have gone. Master McShee too, a G1 winner last season.

      • Still listed in the betting by at least half a Dozen bookies too . !! . .

          You'd be surprised at how long some of the registrations take. Especially if there has been something go wrong at home...

            For sure - Aramon took about nine months to register on there.

            Racing needs to do better in general. The BHA horse search function is largely very good at allowing you to track horses. There's no reason HRI couldn't do something similar.

            • Thyme White for Nicholls also no longer with us. Must have died at home.

              • Incredibly, it seems HRI fucked up and Master McShee isn't actually dead. David Jennings has spoken to the trainer and his career as a racehorse is over but they're very hopeful he'll pull through and enjoy retirement.

                  • I completely ignored the Uttoxeter card today but a pal has just messaged me to let me know a horse I have backed all season is running.
                    4.25 Coconut Splash.
                    Williams got his mark down to a winnable mark when he bumped into City Chief at Hereford, he was then tanking when brought down at Aintree, I had a decent bet on him that day and was convinced he would have gone close, remarkably the handicapper has dropped him 2lb too.
                    I know backing NH horses in May comes with a red flag but this has the look of a proper bet for me...

                      Reputedly the best handicapped horse in training - he’s had a few quid of mine on in the past, but after 10 chase starts without a win waiting for them to finally pull the trigger and actually win, I’ve come to the conclusion he’s a bridle merchant. Good luck today, but I’ve given up on him (knowing my luck he’ll win today too).

                          • HI I have club enclosure for wed, thursday and horse and groom on the friday at the festival. Any welcome ideas from those that have been there and seen it and done it all to enjoy the Tuesday the best I can ? Enjoy the roar and enjoy the view of the final fence and the finish is most important to me and the Tuesday is my favourite day, This will be my last time at Cheltenham as I now live in Australia. Your expertise and experience most appreciated, Jim

                              And when they restrict they’re usually brutal, you can’t even chip away at small stakes.
                              Worst of the lot 365.
                              You some years ago they tried to buy Vodafone solely so they could identify duplicate accounts.
                              Them, and others, are the reason funding to racing is in the mess it’s in, tens of millions in lost revenue because punters are forced to bet overseas.
                              Disappointing, sad, but not the least bit surprising…
