Have you tried to place a bet yet ?

Yes. Have put a few on in the last hour since and no problems with staking or potential big payouts. Just the cash outs gone. Annoying but probably serves me right for tidying up my bets that I has deemed unlikely at this stage. Just glad no restrictions were put in place

Welcome back, Fat Jockey. You only realise how much you need this site, when it's not there, or so slow, it may not be.

A big shout to the Road to Cheltenham twitter page over the last few days. Kept my Cheltenham addiction ticking over.

Haven't had confirmation it's back up yet to be fair

Bit slow still for me

Definitely better than it was. Good work. 100% echo Irish Rugby, truly don't appreciate here as much as we should!

[Magpie]

Yes a bit slow, but getting there. Missing not been able to see what FJs have been chatting about.

So glad it's back. Felt limbless without this fucking place

So Yesterday I decided to go through all my antepost bets and reevaluate if I wanted to keep certain bets or just reduce the stakes with a partial cash out. Safe to say that couldn’t have worked out any worse as this morning I got a very polite email from 365 saying they have removed all cash outs from Horse related bets. Thankfully no restrictions have been put in place, so can still put on life changing Yankees or lump on fancied horses. But no more getting excited seeing big profit cash outs or being able to react to any injuries will be annoying.

Damn You 365!

Exactly what they did to me pre - Christmas after a cashout spree. If you can’t use it, what’s the point in it?

Back up to full speed for me now, was banging my head against the wall with some of the stuff I was seeing on twitter example being someone saying mirazur west is a stayer and should be going for the bartlett after losing

Ruby didn't cover himself in glory on RTC this week.
His apparent disdain for the 2 young lads seemed obvious. Hopefully some other reason for his behaviour but he came across as rude.

I'm just about to watch it, but after 60 seconds I'll make a statement then back track.... he's Ruby Walsh - he doesn't need to pander to whoever RTV are throwing their money at to try and gain a new fan base, he's won G1's before these 2 were born (not fact checked)


I'll end up going against one of my favourite quotes, that you don't have to be a chef to know what tastes good - but if you are lucky enough to be in the top 0.5% of anyone who has ever done what you do, you deserve to have a certain eyre of arrogance attached? We're not talking about normal people, normal people should be nice and commended for that, but no-one that nice will ever be the best at what they do......

See you in 60 minutes when I back-track and agree with whatever point you made

Like he felt it was beneath him

I'd be surprised if josh and Andrew don't take Lydia and Ruby's job on road to Cheltenham in a few years time

Perhaps he was annoyed he couldn't bore us all to death talking about jumping envelopes all episode

Now watched it

Don't see what the fuss is .... .he's like that with Dave Nevison on RTv, or PP in any of their bits



Absolute storm in a tea cup from Quevega - I expect better



Those 2 young guns may well go on to host things on RTV, and good luck to them..... Nick Luck is incredible at what he does, Lydia is fantastic at what she does but that's still nowhere near what Ruby does at his craft and the insight is a level above.

Yeah, I know he's very good at what he does, and he's a snarky sullen bugger at times, both are brilliant traits in my book .
But when the nieces and nephews come round at Christmas you make an effort and wear the fucking hat for an hour.

[Irish Rugby]

Just a general issue as there's nowhere else specifically to say this.

I know plans can change due to injuries, and the likes of Mullins does have many cards in his pack, but I still think it pays to listen to trainer comments. More often than not they stick to them.

Irish Point to Aintree, Jetara to Fairyhouse and perhaps Impair Eye Passe to Aintree although that last one isn't that clear yet. Works for me anyhow.

I thought fair play to Ruby. He gave them the usual Ruby treatment. Wasn’t going to mollycoddle them and challenged unsubstantiated views. He certainly wasn’t as disdainful to them as he is to David Jennings or the Timeform lads!

Josh has bragged about having been given the inside track on something by Ruby previously on LTR (can’t recall what) so Ruby’s clearly okay with them.
