International chit chat
 

Can someone please give me a visual of the race at Doncaster tomorrow..... the one with Gift Horse?

I know he's at 12/1 and i know he hasn't won since 2005 but still..... I remember when he beat a field of 27. Gotta love him.

Thanks.

I should be watching it today, so i will let you know how he gets on.

Racing at Doncaster isn't certain to go ahead yet though. It is their first racing in 20months after a major renovation, and they have been on a fight against time over the last few weeks to get everything ready for racing.

They need to pass an inspection.

It should go ahead, but it isn't certain at the moment.

You realise Spencer is in him???????

In him or on him? :D
Yeah I noticed that. Seems like everyone has had the mount on this guy..... he does best with Fallon up. (Don't they all). :)

Gift Horse looks like he might be the favourite

WHAT? Very surprised.

At the time of writing this he is currently the 5/1 favourite. Maybe today is going to be the day for him.

This drop in grade is what he has been needing.

I hope so..... he needs a win.

So much heart.

Aaaah well hopefully later I'll come back to some good news.

6/1 now, but still the FAV.......

you should stay around, he runs in 10mins and i think it should be on TVG

mmsc.........

Cake won today, 9/1!!!!

a horse named Cute Ass was 2nd. I have a funny feeling you would have got the exacta :D

Jamie "i will sit out the back in last until a furlong to go" Spencer ***** up AGAIN.

He was last with only a furlong to go and he has flown home to finish a close 5th.

He is a joke.

Oh ****. That stupid ******* *******.:mad:

Jamie thinks all hold up horses are Dancing Brave.. When he wins he looks great but when they dont, boy, it is horrible..

Did you see yetserday's racing from Donny, Brock?

He had two shockers, one on Gift Horse and an even worse ride on Enjoy The Moment. He really is starting to annoy me at the moment with his rides. If you have backed them you're just praying for the gaps open when he needs them to.

If he does this on Asiatic Boy on Tuesday, if and when i go up there on Weds i am going to scream abuse at him!

was in bed for the afternoon racing and just got out in time for Tramore and Newmarket..:)

I can him doing something shocking on Asiatic now on Tuesday and with the race looking so loaded, he wont get away with it.. Id much prefer Frankie on a horse than Spencer.

Tough call, Spencer holds horses up and finds trouble in running 7 out of 10 times, Frankie usually gets to the front and can't hold horses or he just flaps.

It's a shame Joe Fanning is injured, he would have suited Asiatic Boy down to the ground. Him or Jimmy Fortune.

I don't think i'd like to be a jockey at Newbury today. It is awful there......

some tricky race coming up here at Newbury!.. Ive had something small on Welsh Emperor but anything could really win..

I am very strong on Red Evie......... but i have Spencer to contend with

aaaaaaaaaaah,
