    Hope you're well!!!!
    Wish they said the same when I turned up at special assistance at the airport

    I'd definitely not be, had I had to endure all the chaos I've seen last week... 2023 was enough, and think an antepost book might have just sent me to the madhouse!

    Bearing up though, thanks mate. Hope life is good, and glad to see all is firing over here as well!

          Office today, meant to be in the office tomorrow so booked it off, working from home (ha) Wednesday and Thursday then off again on Friday... Very tactical

          • Everyone else spending today looking at their max payout accas and convincing themselves they're coming in?

              Got to do something with the remaining 73 minutes of work...

              Not sure I like your tone that you're implying my million to one 5 fold isn't a banker though.

                Apologies. Sounds like 70 minutes deciding what you're spending the million on to be fair.

                  What do you think I've been doing since 9am?

                  Very glad I've got a corner desk today!

                      It won't be the best out there, but I'm still dreaming of my 0.1pt Ew free four folds, all horses at 14/1 for 5000pts and over a years salary

                      Salvador Ziggy, you oughtta know/cantico, facile Vega and conflated.

                      Also got the 0.25pt Ew free treble without the bumper horses for 800pts

                      A boy can dream...

                          • Patrick mullins gets a lot of stick on here.
                            he can sometimes look a little unorthodox compared to other jockeys but to receive such negative criticism when he's actually not that bad is odd.

                            Just for context in the past 5 seasons he has a 34% strike rate, paul townend has 36%.
                            this season Patrick has a 46% strike rate, Paul townend has 41%

                            Danny mullins 10% and 11%

                              It helps that half his rides are odds on shots in bumpers

                              • He wins on steering jobs and lots of them

                                How many times has he given a horse a ride where you've thought jeez that was a top ride that wouldn't have won with another jockey on

                                Danny however is very capable of winning a race when he's not on the best horse

                                Patrick is a very good amateur jockey, he should not be getting second pick in grade 1s for willie over Danny who is an excellent professional jockey
