    First official ratings for
    FAKIERA 133 (for winning the Grade 3 - Gordon will love that)
    WIDE RECIEVER 129
    Bloody hell. That seems more than fair.

        They'll want to be putting in improved performances though to make sure they get in....

          • What’s members thoughts on a ‘Out For The Season’ chat thread where we can post our shock, relief, grief or frustrations afterwards? I agree it’s not helpful commenting on the thread straight after and it doesn’t feel like I’ve really exorcised the spirit when commenting on race market thread. Maybe a OFTSSB (Out For The Season Soap Box) to post whatever thoughts are pinging around the brain at the speed of sound??

              Yep someone had a moan yday and whilst they are probably right, saying a comment or a memory in an alternative place would be a good addition.

              • As a side note, I know people were discussing where to watch racing at some point recently. I've just had a letter from Racing TV with their black friday offer - Racing TV for ?10 per month for a year.

                  You could set up a thread for it.

                  Probably get lost I reckon though...

                  The individual race threads, or your own diary (more like soap box in your case haha) are perfectly valid?

                    Might get involved with that, thought I was onto a winner with the dubai racing channel but they seem to hate the jumps.

                    • As for gaming mentioned a few pages back, I fished out my World of Warcraft account that i'd last used a decade previous. Wasn't proud of it then and i'm certainly not now. Lockdown has taken its toll on us all.
                      Think the only other game i've properly played in my adult life was GTA: San Andreas, which I dedicated about 200 years of my life to when it first came out.

                        • Can’t believe Maradona has passed away! Know it’s not racing related but I’m in such shock.

                            True Genius of the game.
                            Even though he cheated England.
                            I thought he was awesome as a footballer.
                            In the modern game he'd have been unstoppable.
                            Grealish thinks he gets fouled a lot, but that's nothing to the treatment he got.

                              As a villa fan even hearing Grealish mentioned in the same sentence as the GOAT brings me joy

                              but yes, a sad day for the footballing world.

                                The documentary on Maradona is possibly the best sporting documentaries I've watched.

                                The parties and off field antics were something else
