It's really good to see FJ getting busier over the last few days..

It's all about the countdown to the 2021/22 'Doing an Naiad' thread!

Need to crash that market again Spectre. The bookies will be crapping themselves!

Hi guys, I’ve been really quiet on here of late, I’ve been taking some time off the forum and enjoying spending my winnings and spending some much needed time with friends and family now that the restrictions have been easing in the UK.

We all share a common passion on here for racing and I’ve decided I wanted to start writing about the sport I love so much, so I have started a blog. I’m going to try and keep it regularly updated and discuss big talking points and generally have a view towards Cheltenham 2022.

My first post is on NH horses to follow throughout 21/22, have a read and let me know your thoughts. Hopefully it will get you excited for the upcoming season.

(As a lifelong Aston Villa fan it has also kept my mind away from the Jack Grealish saga lol )

Thanks TOTG. A very enjoyable read, thanks for sharing, and I agree with very much of what you've written. I think I have all of them in my book. There's some excellent value there on horses with genuine win chances, and I like the fact that you've focused on that type of horse rather than put up the blindingly obvious which the pundits tend to do.

No pressure then!

Thanks Spectre. Yes that’s what my thought pattern was when planning to do that. The likes of Honeysuckle, Bob Olinger, Monkfish & Appreciate it are boring to read about this far out. In all honesty there’s not much value to be had there for someone like myself who stakes relatively low.

I’m really looking forward to my next post which should be in a couple of weeks!

I know we're primarily a jumps forum but I still watch a fair bit of flat racing without betting on 99.9% of it. Is there anyone else who watched the F1 'drive to survive' documentary series on Netflix as bemused as I am to see how much sponsorship of Newmarket racing 'Rich Energy' seem to be doing recently? Surely someone at Newmarket saw the series too?! I hope they were paid upfront... The bloke behind the brand still seems as dodgy as ever if social media is anything to go by and you still only seem able to buy the stuff via their own website or amazon, which by reviews very few seem to have done.

Even if you aren't into F1 by the way, which i'm not massively, it's definitely worth watching, loads of great and surprisingly candid behind the scenes stuff.

One of the best sporting documentaries I’ve seen in a long time. Previously never really had an interest in F1 as found the sport focussed only on the big names too much, something that to be fair, our racing is guilty of but the back stories and focus on smaller teams was so enjoyable!

I believe that Ferrari and Mercedes shunned it initially for the first season, then they only got interested when the season took off massively so makes it more interesting.

Either way - enjoyed it so much (as did my wife I should say!), we now look forward to watching F1 each weekend. A dual screen set up of horse racing and F1 the norm now. Highly recommended.

Hope this is okay me putting this on here, move to a different thread if needs be, but I’ve got a Sky fantasy football league running (cash league) ?20’ to join and it’s a good laugh throughout the season. Anyone on here welcome to join.

cheers lads

Anyone who is yet to buy tickets for the fez, price rise again tomorrow. If your undecided for whatever reason my advice would be just buy them as you'll have no problem getting rid of them closer to the festival if you have a change of heart(highly unlikely for members on here)
