Cheltenham Martyrs...

'tis your own money to manage at the end of the day, and far be it from me to be talking like I never made a poor gambling decision when I do it regularly enough, but you were already in profit no matter what from Fact to File winning at Cheltenham.

My own mantra there would be to let it ride, UNLESS I thought Cork's price was too short. Laying off should always be about price and expected value rather than falling into the trap of thinking "I don't think they're going to do it". Maybe you did still think they were too short when you laid off, but if they win it outright you might end up thinking "Ah, I gave away almost 3k there".

That's fair enough. Getting walloped by Limerick in the RR, the faith began to wane on us turning that around a few weeks later in the GG in the Munster Final, although I still had faith we could win the AI. Anyway, sure, I'm not too greedy, whatever happens from now till the final is over, I'll be happy enough financially, but I'll be gutted if we don't win the AI.

Galway Races are soon to us but despite the long evenings you'd be weeping for an October bank holiday over fences, the wind blowing, the sky spitting and a faller at the second last.

Ice-cold sparkling Bulmer's on a Teachta Dála's expenses can't compare to a creamy Beamy you bought yourself with the bar's Racing Post in front of ye, the Adonis Jane Mangan on the telly, six Boyle's slips in your pocket and the pick of the Mullins' horses in the bumper. And all that by 11am as soon as you've had your breakfast.

This might be the single.greatest post in the history of horse racing, marketing, this forum and any other forum.

Bravo sir.

I remember going back about 20 years there was a horse called Vodkatini, Talented but had a tendency to dig his heels in ant the start
and refuse to race, Fellas would have their dockets written out and wait for the start to see if he would jump off, If he did there would be a rush
to the counter,

Thurles racesourse gone bang,

Thurles racesourse gone bang,

Thurles racecourse has been given a stay of execution by the HRI who are going to run the course for the next 12 months. The main issue though with Thurles has always been that they do not have the ability to water the track nor do they have a plan to fix that issue.
Chepstow in 4 weeks lads ....

They should just go around to all the local pubs and call all the regulars out to do a bit of watering.
