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

That's another way of reading it if you don't want Jacob on his back. He's my biggest winner in the race and I'd be more than happy for him to ride. PT deserted him for Appreciate It at Leopardstown so imo he doesn't deserve to jump straight back on him. I hope Double Green stay loyal to DJ.

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!

I have the same feeling for on the improve....wtf is wrong with improving...and it’s quicker ...Mark Johnstone is the worst...if he gets anywhere near The festival I’m retiring. It would actually devastate me.

When DJ was getting back after his injury I felt he was struggling and it was touch and go whether he’d go down the puppy path but I think he has really turned it around and is riding as well as if not better than ever before. I’d be more than happy for him to ride EF.

Paul is going to be riding El Fab , hope that helps.

He gets first pick, only if he didn't go for El Fab (or any mun/sou) would Daryl then get the ride of any of their runners, the owners don't get involved.

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.

Gotta love the abbreviations, takes my brain ages to work out your IETs, IEPs and GDMs.
Whenever I see GDC I always think Garde de Champetre who was my final leg of a life changing yankee a few years ago, fell when tanking, still hurts now...

Have the media dreamt up anything for you yet Paul ?
Maybe GWB, green white and black ?
It's got a ring to it.
'And here comes Kevin Sexton on the GWB....'

Yep , anyone would think he’s never ridden a horse by some of the stuff I read on here.
If EF is good enough, DJ won’t stop it winning.

Unless my next horse is called 'Get Winning Boy' that will, hopefully, never happen Istabraq! it would appear that my subtle lobbying for the Whateley colours to be referred to as "Double Blue" has not gained any traction - oh well! I am moving onto more useful topics (like getting Cornelius Lysaght banned from 'Luck on Sunday')

Cheers for confirming.

Feel sorry for DJ but hopefully PT can give him as good a ride as he got at Leopardstown.
