The problem is that its loads of horses, dancing tornado during the week is another case of a horse not being put into a race.

Its got to the stage that I wont back a JP horse and that has to be wrong.

i dont back many of his horses but if there is huge money on iti do.jp owns a string of bookmakers no matter what he does he makes money at punters expense

I gave up backing JP's donkey horses years ago. I'll only back his horses in the big races, now and again. If he had a runner in an egg and spoon race at Towcester or some gaff track like that, I wouldn't give it a second look.

How much would you pay to have a go on him?

Considering my poverty, I'd pay 200 euro for 20 minutes on him. I mean jumping a few fences, a gallop and just knocking about.

Just knocking about on a Gold Cup winner

I would pay a few hundred no bother, would love to jump a wall on him.

Anyone listen to the Timeform radio weekend preview? I was always told that a pause is better than a stop word when speaking in public. I was told, when people start counting how many "ehhs" and "umms" you say, you're doing it wrong. Enter Phil from this weeks Timeform Weekend preview....

£35 pound a day now for Tatts, goes up to £45 on the day. If your under 23 (I think it's 23 anyway) you can buy a ticket on the Thursday for £25. That just applies for Thursdays though.

Cheers oscars! I have that already sorted...the Missus is getting us a club enclosure ticket for Xmas for 1 day..just wondering was there a site giving a % discount on them. Was sure I seen it, maybe it was RP members club or something. and I'm gojng to try source a free one (fingers crossed) for the other day..have been lucky enough to source 1 for the past fee years..just treat myself as Cheltenham only happens once a year..I find you can relax a little bit more in the club enclosure aswell and easily get a place at the side of the course
