So much in common although Im a bit older as for GUY HARWOOD and PROVIDEO , big favourites of mine as well. Followed Bill O 'Gorman and Tony Ives very closely.
I don't bet on the All-Weather, and hardly ever on the FLAT either, but it's good to see you picking the winners.
I wouldn't give up on FIRE ATTACK. The stable obv. thinks it's good horse with the number of times it get's well-backed, but I think it will be better on better going, and the horse that beat it last Sunday THEDEVILSCOACHMAN (TDC) is a VERY,VERY good horse, with a fantastic turn of foot and a great attitude. I'm not surprised SKYBET boosted APPRECIATE IT to11/4 Fav. The only downside to TDC is that although Noel Meade is a very good trainer, he hasn't had many winners at the CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL, just 5 in total in 20 years, normally one every 4 or 5 years..... the good thing is, it's been 4 years since his last CHELTENHAM winner, and he has won the Supreme Novice Hurdle twice before.
I started writing this post a few days ago, but I've been having problems with the keys on lappy only working intermittently.... sends you BONKERS
I think we're all around the same age.....Loved PROVIDEO and PRIMO DOMINI (best horse Bill O'Gorman trained).....SPINDRIFTER |(multi-multiple winner) and the likes, when they could win loads of 2-y-o races. From memory didn't PROVIDEO win Brocklesby, first race of Flat Season at Donny, and then about 16 more races?
Great Memories
GOOD LUCK and HAPPY PUNTING ........we've got some very good racing to look forward to this weekend, and some warm weather too.....just hope the SUN doesn't get too low and half the hurdles and fences are omitted, though I think ASCOT and NEWBURY are usually ok on that score.
Anyone who knows Jez knows he has dedicated his life to fast women and slow horses.
Following a recent bout of bad health, his medical team have suggested he is getting a little old for wine, women and song.
From hereon Jez has vowed to give up singing

Misty, as soon as you mention Primo Domini & Spindrifter and their like, hairs on neck stand on end! and for zero reason, instantly got me thinking about a fillly called Habibti that I 'fell in love with' aged 17! 1980 foal, she went unbeaten as a 2yo, was a pure sprinter, not a middle distance horse, won the last 4 races of her 3yo season, and what races, TimeForm horse of the year. Provideo, correct, won the Brocklesby 4 lengths on debut, and if you wish to relive the race, here you are, funny anecdote, Bill O'Gorman was intending to sell Provideo at the Doncaster yearling sales, but got kicked by a horse, didn't travel to the sales and neither did Provideo, O'Gorman kept the horse, who buzzed in on debut,and the rest, magical. hope a few enjoy The Brocklesby from an era when half the country watched the 2yo season curtain raiser. Provideo won the Brocklesby and the Champion 2yo Trophy, what a horse, always wore blinkers, always front run, still gives me goosebumps, today, but a lifetime love affair with racing does that too you. I genuinely have not a, clue how to post the link to this race? but if you put the details below in search, there's a race recording.
sometimes, when you scratch your head, with certain horses. Fire Attack very first bet when I started this very thread, put up evening before as a bet at 11-1 went of 11-2 (fell last after chasing the pace of a, tearaway leader) in the race that was Dreal Deals last winning run,on Sunday money obviously down 9-2 >85-40> sp 9-4,small field, held up last,supreme ride from Jack Kennedy, cruised into contention 2 out,looking a huge player, just rewatched Sundays race 3 times, horse very obviously got ability and an engine, 2 out ears pricked full of running. only thing, Fire Attack had multiple Chelters entries, all been scratched? Agree, bit better ground, the sort of horse it will all come right for, one day, in a huge field handicap(note to self, keep following Fire Attack carefully!)
Gpc70 Conrad Allen Yard, ice cold since July 2020,not a single winner, until below, same owner has had, TYGER gambled bolted up, Aces and Kings same owner 50s>33s looked all over the winner 2nd 33s,and Lucky Ava same owner, 2 wins within a week,bolted up first win, and made all comfortably, obviously yard (seem) in very decent nick.7 months ice cold, 2 weeks red hot
I said Red Rookie my only bet however, a, nice few betting points in the tank, and near 12 hours before they run, decided to have 2 points win ELUSIF 6-1 1 point WIN VOI 14-1 1 point each way double 14s & 6s a fifth 1 2 3 both races, have that at 3.6.5 as BEST ODDS GT (bog)

the rerouted Betfair Hurdle Sunday Newbury 15.35 still like G Moores FIFTY BALL, but not a certain runner, current best 12s one of Hendos, its a stretch, but any boost to the NOT SO SLEEPY Chelts dream, I will take BUZZ you can have 10s five places, or my choice; 5 points each way 12-1 a quarter 1 2 3 4 BUZZ and one of Paul Nicholls I am convinced, is a huge chunk better, than public perception.
