He didn't do too bad on him at Leopardstown!

Not at all...but that isn't how it works.

If Paul gets injured, I'll feel okay about it...


Mullins number 1 in thew Arkle will have Paul Townend on.

Same in Ballymore I reckon.



Jacob is likeable, very good and also very aware of how lucky a position he's in. Second string on some of Willie's is better than he'd get elsewhere and number 1 to Double Green on anything that isn't Willie's, means he will not be doing anything to rock the boat.

[Benjy23]

Maybe Dysart is the number 1

Literally impossible on form, so if Paul is on.... then we can debunk the Paul Townend gets to pick theory at least

Probably desperate to beat Jonbon. At least they can argue DD didn't finish when Jonbon best him. Where as El Fab was put in his place fair and square...

Haha, maybe.

Jonbon to win the QMCC now seems like a bet you shoudl be making.... 12/1 for the double I think I saw....

Was on a role but think I’ve gone 3 or 4 posts in a row without a single like and ego has taken a serious dent in the process. Beginning to think my posts have been muted as they’ve all been magnificent

OK - I have a polite request. Can we ban the term 'Double Green' please? A year ago, it was nowhere to be found but it has entered the body of racing vernacular like an unwanted parasite. First it was commentators, then trainers and jockeys and now we have respected racing experts like Kev resorting to its use. It could be argued that there are more important things to be concerned about 8 days before Cheltenham, but to passively accept its usage would be to allow a thin end of a very long wedge. I. for one, am determined not to allow it to affect my mental health and am committed to preventing it from surreptitiously entering my subconscious as we approach the 14th.
Finally, a tip for the Supreme: Chasing Fires - I really like his colours!

Double Green.

Don't know if you follow the flat racing much BoF but I found it extremely irritating when ITV pundits kept referring to Stradivarius as 'Strad' in the last years of his career.

I should ask for a ban on the term now because he'll likely be a national hunt sire in the future and can't be having that bollocks said on here .

Also, as Kermit said, it's not easy being green .

[Irish Rugby]

I've only started to hear the term 'double green' this year. It does look like the herd mentality has set in, and it's become in vogue. Lazy journalism.

'Strad' as if he's one of your mates. Yes, all very dumbed down, and does bring out one's inner Victor Meldrew.

[Mighty]

Personally I quite like the ‘double green’ - Munir and Souede is a bit of a mouthful, and it’s no different in my view to the ‘green and gold’ of JP. They’ve got some distinctive colours, people are recognising them, and good luck to them this year at the Festival.

What we actually need to do is have a FJ competition for a nickname for Bayoffreedom’s silks!

Usually I'd consider correcting SPG on the Internet a nause's trick, but as you've used the incorrect one twice in quick succession

Roll - to travel in a direction turning over on an axis, to travel on wheels

Role - the function or part played by a person or object in a defined situation

Hows that for some #engagement

"I'm on a roll!"
"I am not enjoying my role as the butt of robith's spelling lesson"

Daryl Jacob interview in Irish Field he mentions several horses that could give him his next Festival winner. El Fabiolo and James Du Berlais both mentioned but not IEP.

Maybe I’m being skeptic but he doesn’t actually say he’s riding El Fab the author introduces that his next festival win could be around the corner then inserts quotes on a few horses? Some taken from the sporting life as well

I like Daryl but il be shocked if PT isn’t on his back.

Equally be shocked if PT wins on Dysart
