    McCoy's swansong .. Box Office in the Sandown 4.25

    This will go one of two ways.

    Retiring jockeys and trainers in the past have been "allowed" to win their final races. This could happen today but this isn't a seller at Plumpton but a 20 runner competitive hurdle and the microscope will be on all those riding in the race.

    At a best price 10/3 Box Office isn't value and whilst I will have a saver on him I will be seeking to back something against him. Just haven't worked out what yet!

    agreed .. BUT .. I am banking (not too much though lol) on many a blind eye and deaf ear being the order of the day .. McCoy is not just any old racing pro, he's the best ever .. he didn't win the National or the Gold Cup, he'll win this one .. watch the price contract as the day wears on

    Dane o'Neil is a prick why box Aljamaaheer in when it's the best horse in the race and then get the door shut on him in the last furlong

    Hi. Don't normally post anything like this for the sake of being heckled or laughed at, but I must say that Silver Tassie@25/1 paying 4 places in the 4.20 at punchestown tomorrow looks an outstanding price.

    Unlucky mate. In contention 2 from home, bad mistake and unseated jockey. Certainly looked place prospect at least.

    Goes without saying killer, can't wait getting excited, had a day off last week and managed to get the ok to go and watch him do a piece of work, they run him up the gallops over 5f with inniscastle lad a 3yr old rated at 82 inside the last furlong he opened up about a 3 length lead over him with his turn of foot so that convinced William Muir he's ready so I'm hopping he's debut goes well, been and bought me tweed jacket in anticipation for the trophy presentation lol only joking

    Cheers killer hoping he lives up to what they keep saying. Hopefully mate he turns the corner and it clicks and understands what he's supposed to do and it will happen,fingers crossed for you, must of been gutted about today the more runs the more he will improve. To be truthful I'm enjoying it so far and wouldn't care if he comes last or first

    Anyone's thoughts on grey lion for the derby? Currently 16s.
    A fella I know has mentioned it and I've won money before through him putting me onto trading leather a couple of years ago.

    2 runs 2 wins, from Galileo, other foals have done well interesting especially throwing in the background of your pal, gotta be worth a backing surely
