    Your schtick sounds familiar.

    Maybe you should request a price for Elegant Escape.

          From a British perspective, shocking

          How can you advertise the racing on Boxing Day when the top race on the card is so up in the air

          remember when I used to go to Kempton on Boxing Day, was a proper good day and you knew what to expect, horses turned up

            Fact to file may now be supplemented according to Willie.......probably just a load of nonsense from Mullins though ....

              The top three in the market on oddschecker all need supplementing! Some effort from the trainers that

                We need to bring these races back to what they were. The Charlie Hall , Betfair chase , King George etc. what happened to the Bonus that was offered I think by Betfair ?. Maybe something similar needs to be trialed to get better fields and the better horses running. Still haven’t forgiven Barton Bank falling at the last , that taught me not to count my winnings too early

                  Il Est Francais walloped in the betting on the exchanges (albeit hasn't taken loads of money to do so!). Was trading between 12/1-14/1 but been backed in, and even been matched at 6 (5/1)!!

                      Only 74 years since a 5yo winner.

                        Not something that would particularly bother me, especially backing a french horse as they've began their trade at a much earlier stage of their life, and tend to peak earlier than our horses do also.

                        Not to mention, the race looks a bag of shite aswell.

                          I probably still alone in hoping that was a nice enough King George prep for Banbridge today

                            I am half converted but Banbridge always makes me ask more questions then i get answers. I know it's a sharp 3 miles but would he get home? He is an all or nothing horse, either flattens out or is strong in a finish. It's just over 2 weeks away and i am unsure that is ideal. Ground concerns. For a horse we see about twice a year he would be out of my mind until the day of the Ryanair if he did turn up as he would have had probably 4 or 5 runs before then if he runs at Kempton.

                            But all that being said, i do quite like him for the race even with all those question marks, i dunno why.

                              JOB confirming still the plan today, of course ground dependant as usual.

                              Pleased to have someone half converted to be honest
