@sjracingmedia On what basis could you possibly say it's riskier to run on the Flat, especially from that yard who have pulled out countless jumpers down the years, some on very big days, because of the ground? No-one said anything about 'staying' races either.
@Moray_Smith "Many pundits picked him out of the King George as the most likely to win the Gold Cup" is a bit of a reach. 95% of the pundits I saw were tipping JB or TJM (in that order). If you're going to pull like a train for the first 3 miles DI doesn't come into it.
It's ridiculous @BetfairExchange hasn't added Fact To File to the Gold Cup market. Are they really going to wait until he's added in a month's time? He's the joint-fav in most books for goodness sake.
@nedboulting I was with you on the Champs, Ned, but yesterday was brilliant wasn't it? We can't have the sprinters being photoshopped out of the Tour though, can we. If they started in Paris with a Champs sprint stage then worked they're way round France you'd hear no complaints from me.
@_tomstanley_ sorry about this old boy, but could you ask the people that actually do the work on RTV what the tune was that was playing over the Musidora memories piece just know? Thank you 👍

Looking at plenty of boats for Cheltenham week that get you within the £XXXXX hotel zone for a fraction, it's the only market that isn't susceptible to the festival price gouge as they're not thinking Cheltenham and you're actually doing them a favour by renting this early.
Tip for the #benidormcheltenham lobby. It's off-season for narrow boats. Been hiring one per week for 20yrs up the Severn, moored Tewkesbury, less than 100pw the lads all in. Cab in, town centre later, bus out. Plus a barge holiday either side 👌
Whoever's responsible for tomorrow's National Spirit card at @FontwellPark tomorrow @BHAHorseracing should be locked up. What have you done to this fixture? Disgraceful race planning.
There's no way easing up a stride before the line cost Alright Sunshine that hands n heels race. But let's screw the young lad over anyway cos it's easier than going after the real villains, isn't it @BHAHorseracing
A few facts. Evan Williams horse won after being smashed up from 80 to 85-40f. The 2nd fav was PU early, jock said he felt him go wrong. He'd been ridden by a Williams jock in his qualifying runs and has made a miraculous recovery - runs tomorrow.
