  • Can anybody remember what the old qualification criteria for the pertemps was before the first 6 rule? I have in my head first 8 but unsure?

    • Yes first 8.

            VAR & needless rule changes are just destroying the game. That was a brilliant game of football aswell until that.

            • Bit of a shocker that David Mullins has retired. Would have had some nice horses to ride for Willie at DRF and Cheltenham

                Can't enjoy a game properly now, always waiting to see if var is going to intervene. How was that first goal not disallowed?

                  A shame for him but going out on his own terms then again many could ride for another 20 years and not win a National

                  • On the AtTheRaces website today in Andy Gibsons Cheltenham Trail he reminded us that last season 14 horses started at 3/1 or less at the Festival and only 2 won (Epatante 2/1 and Envoi Allen 4/7).

                    Of the six that went off Odds On, that makes Envoi Allen (4/7) the only winner, with losers Benie Des Dieux, Tiger Roll, Paisley Park, Carefully Selected and Defi du Seuil.

                    • Anyone have any news on Cilaos Emery and his wellbeing?

                      • Ive added a possible line of form to the Boodles that could be declared tomorrow morning for the a Navan race on Saturday in the January-February Irish Race Planning Diary for anyone that’s interested.

                        If the horse doesn’t get declared the maybe it’s not a plan for the Boodles, but if the horse is declared then it could be of interest how she runs and what handicap mark is awarded.

                            2003 would be the best year I can remember. 10 winning favs out of 20 (3 day meeting). Absolute blood bath for bookies. Poor bastards !! This year will beat that......
