    Pleasantly surprised.
    A couple of us from here are off to this next weekend. Really looking forward to it, hopefully can share a pint or two with some other FJ posters.

      Great to see one or two Irish heading for the race.
      I've often thought it's a calendar oddity that the race is run a week before the Hennessy as surely many of the horses entered in one could run in the other...

        • Is it time to have a new thread on our winners of each race? I find it fascinating comparing between now and march. No chat just our winners?

            • Hopefully someone can help.

              I'd like to get...

              Shan Blue - added to the Gold cup market on betfair.

              &

              Defi du Seuil - added to the ryanair market.

              They won't entertain me when I ask. So if anyone could arrange this then I'd be grateful.

                          I wonder if on the day club tickets will hit 100 quid this season.
                          It really does make membership a no brainer...

                              Quite often the horses Willie purchases at this sale don’t make the track until the following season as it’s quite late by the time he receives them and then settle into the yard and regime. As they’re all novices for this season, Willie may take a shot to nothing and run them in a graded race later in the season and if they lose, keep them back for novice hurdling next season. Alternatively he may just give them maximum time to acclimatise and they won’t run at all until next season.
