    What a day!

    Thanks for the good wishes.

    Lets hope he stays sound for The Arkle.

    If he gets there OK, I feel he could certainly pose a question for Footpad and co.

    It's going to be a long month waiting for this one.

    Harry, Gemma and all the team, certainly deserve a lot of credit.

    Great to meet Harry Whittington, his wife and Mum too, lovely, warm and genuine people!

    Very fond memory whatever happens from here.

    Look forward to meeting up with you guys at SPT Manchester on Fri/Sat.

    Chew the fat with friends about Poker, Jackpot Syndicate and Horses, over a few beers, what more could you ask for?

    All the best!

    G

    He we are upon arrival at Warwick for the Kingmaker on Saturday 10/02/18:

    Shame all my clothes are too small for me, it's been a while since I put on a suit and tie. :=)

    Looks (and sounds) like you had a good day mate.

    I noticed it is now down to 6/1 in the betting for the Arkle. Glad I got it at 16/1, thanks to your encouragement shown for it. I had a large bet (for me anyway) on it.

    Roll on Cheltenham. I am hoping to be there on the Thursday again, love the buzz. B)

    Cheers MAX.

    Yes I've backed it at 25/1 all the way down to 7/1, NRNB, I hope all get there well, it should be a mighty race, whatever happens from here, win or lose, it's been great to be involved.

    The money I have had on him for THE ARKLE is only part of what I have won on him in other races, so he owes me nothing.

    Harry Whittington and his family are great people, I may well get a horse with him later in the year, maybe get a syndicate together, if any of you are interested?

    He says Cheltenham feels like David v Goliath trainer wise, such a modest man.

    Gemma says there's a great buzz around the yard, lets hope all goes well for them in the run up to it and on the day!

    Just two and a half weeks to go.

    SAINT CALVADOS best priced 11/2 now.

    Lets hope he and the others get there safe and sound. It could be a mighty race whatever happens!

    You gotta enjoy days like that!

    Why not show it, that's my take on it.

    Hope you are cheering your successes home today. :=)

    Sadly not...... I backed him e/w after his 1st race when he was 25/1...... NRNB has only been on offer since Jan. when he was only 6/1. At least it was only a couple of quid.
