    And because I know fuck all about racing I have no shame in listing who I've gone for

    Ready to be picked apart by the experts like smiffy boy :wink:

    If they all come in the drinks are on you, Rob - just the win part comes to just shy of £350k :)
    Well that just shaved £300k of those potential winnings.........

    Still, well on for about £50k :wink:

    Can't believe Windsor Park is a better horse than Nicolas Canyon.

    Ruby won too many yesterday.....

    Can't believe Windsor Park is a better horse than Nicolas Canyon.

    From Sporting Life:
    "This is not generally a race for ex-Flat types which is a black mark against Royal Bond and Deloitte Novice Hurdle winner Nichols Canyon and fellow previous Grade 1 winner Parlour Games."

    Saw it batter Windsor Park last time out.

    Bet with your eyes, not other opinions ;o)

    Windsor Park looked a different class. His jumping was absolutely spot on. Had a little e/w double on him and Southfield Theatre in the next so fingers crossed.

    He did look very good - and was taking a massive pull all the way round until given a free rein. You could pick him as the winner from 4 out.

    Can't understand Townend's tactics on Beast Of Burden. The horse was pulling his arms out of their sockets and OK you don't want him to race freely but the pace was so pedestrian it was ready made for the flat bred runners - first 3 home.
    So, your horse wastes energy and you set up a sprint finish that you're not equipped for. Very strange.

    Thought the same. From what I've seen most are a bit afraid of letting them run.

    Poor renewal, no standout horse.

    Had Canyon in the first. Gutted.
    Race didn't work out. Run again and could have won.
    Ruby rode him perfectly but missed the break coming to the last corner.

    Ps No more favs today.
