Remember next year back the low weights stay away from big named top handicapped horses

[afeencalleddan]

..Irish top fourNot really. They're all Irish bred (hence the bracketed IRE after their names) but Mckelvey and Philson run are trained in Britain so would be considered British.

[xvis]

this was the pick of the various tipsters listed on the beeb...

very nice..

yeah, ..it didn't figure but that was the copy from the card.

Yeah, that's some tipping alright. I was interested in his point about Slim Pickings and how Tom Taffe seems to improve horses. He cited the case of Crane Brake (that right?) finishing 5th in Gold Cup. Didn't fuckin back Slim though.

I backed Crane Brake the other day. Probably still running now...
Backed Hedgehunter today. Tip from R Walsh. Next year...

[langerdan69]

Had Mc Kelvey each way, was odd shouting on the Welsh trained horse! Yer man Gordon Elliot looked like he was on a day out from boarding school. Some achievement for your first year training horses
