  1. @jamesaknight she was
  2. Upward Spiral a carbon copy of Above Limits a few years ago in same race, also drawn wide. Think this one a bit better though!
  3. @sportspunter01 Can't see Mick Channon training a King George winner tbh
  4. @LittleDrumm @BenGHutton Think Faithfilly will win the maiden at 6.45. No real interest in the other races.
  5. @LittleDrumm @BenGHutton Bloody hell, you go racing more often than we do. Big Calvin Harris fan are you?
  6. @thebedfordfox bless, did you think me using the word sorry meant I was apologising?
  7. @thebedfordfox sorry, but you're really being quite pedantic if you're happy with a BB v Q match over 3m but not happy with F v BC over 7f!
  8. @thebedfordfox so to confirm, you'd be against BB and quevega meeting over 2m6f?
  9. @AndrewRileyRP they could fine him heavily. Or as @RobHarris says they could prob sack him if they wanted to!
  10. @thebedfordfox @jamesaknight I suppose you'd also be against a big bucks quevega meeting over 2m6f cos neither have shown best form at trip?
  11. @RobHarris punching someone at work is usually considered gross misconduct in any other walk of life and would equal dismissal!
  12. @jamesaknight @thebedfordfox and comparing to Frankel, who has also of course won a G1 over 7f. Bolt got a gold medal over 1500m??
  13. @nickgoff79 @rfoindex what'll be interesting is whether they use your record on the exchange to decide how much to lay you at fixed odds.
  14. @nickgoff79 @rfoindex I know, but their argument that they'll capture existing customers means liquidity on exchange will suffer further.
  15. @rfoindex Their piece says it's necessary because people go elsewhere because of poor liquidity. Surely this will make liquidity even worse?
  16. @LeglockLuke both horses can almost certainly be fully effective over 7f or an easy mile. Why not encourage a meeting??
  17. @LeglockLuke IF they had been around at same time (and same gender), then could easily have seem them clash over 200m.
  18. @LeglockLuke Sorry, but is silly. We never saw MJ/Flo-Jo race because they are different genders (and diff eras!). Not comparable to F/BC.
