I let out a little lawl. Long Term Louth that post he made underneath mine I understood it just to be a joke,not in a condescending way. I've said many times here that I can just about open the browser,even with my post count.

Was indeed.

I too have limited knowledge when it comes to technology, and even less I feel when it comes to racing, having backed horses for the last 35 years. However I know how to treat fellow poster's equally and dont mind having the urine taken out of me, in fact I enjoy it, amazing when the roles are reversed how some react. BTW, Got the joke first time about running in the Arkle, as for the clever part, this was aimed directly at a fellow poster.

Hmm thought i reacted pretty well, just as well it wasnt Richie Lawlor or there would be bans all over the shop.

Yeah i knew everyone did, just that one guy seems a little ahem, special.

Lami is running in his 7th consecutive chelthenham festival in the cross country.

Grande Champetre is running in his 7th but they were not consecutive.

I wonder has 7 festivals in a row ever been beaten can anyone think of a horse?

Desert Orchid? Think he may have run in at least 7 maybe 8.

Racing post results only go back to 1989 but you could be right.

Must have been one hell of a session !

Fair balls.

Was at a quiz the other night about the Cheltenham Festival. Just thought i'd ask a couple of questions i remembered see how good you's are. No Googling now!!!:p

Q1: Who rode Sophocles to finish 2nd to Cork All Star in the Champion bumper of 2007?

Q2: Who was the last Irish winner of the World Hurdle as it is known now?

Q3: In the Neptune Investment Novices Hurdle last year in which Peddlers Cross won which 100/1 shot was leading when he ran out at the 2nd last?

Q4: In 2008 who rode High Chimes to win the Kim Muir Handicap Chase?

Q5: What was Mick Fitzgeralds last Cheltenham winning ride?

All i can think of at the moment! We got 4 from these 5 right!

Nulty

I couldn't answer one of them but I'll try Jamie Spencer for Q1 (or another flat jockey)

Juwwi

Is number 2 Dorans Pride ?

Long Term Louth

Was no 5, xenophon?

Separate incidents :cool:

mr.jingle

Afraid it wasn't Jamie Spencer for Q.1 and it's a lady:p

Doran's Pride is right;)

Xenophon is wrong aswell:p

Long Term Louth

Is no 5 Trabolgan?

Green something in the johnny henderson chase?

Long Term Louth

Last guess Non So

I was thinking him or L'ami (not sure if L'ami won in 08 but Mick fell off him in the National and sadly brought the curtain down on his great career - Hendersons loss is punditing's gain. I think he is awesome and generlly spot on)

Thats the one! I thought it was Greenhope myself it was actually one of the few we got wrong!

Give Colm Murphy a bell, see if you can send him to cover Voler La Vedette:D

Good stuff, what's your plan for him

UrbanSea

Not sure. He has some nice mares in foal like Zarkava. You may have heard of him,his name is Sea the Stars.Cost me a pretty penny he did.

That must have been a very pretty shiny penny to get him

UrbanSea

I found it in a shiny pool

Ooo, shiny things...

Hi Iain.

UrbanSea

Hehehe Dirty Sanchez.

Nulty

Anyone watch the ATR Cheltenham previews?

I feel really bad for Mick Fitz. He's an awful pundit and tipster. He really should still be riding cause theres nothing left for him in the industry. Him and Coops previewing the Championship races is painful to watch. Appalling stuff!

UrbanSea

Is he still ill no?

Rank,they put a hook through his skin in his back and are raising him on some yoke by pulling it. It looks rather sore.

Well...


I'm Shauna and I'm 24 years old. I spend too much time on Boards and not enough time on real life. I quite like horse racing along with alcohol and kebabs.

Anyone else care to share?

Do you want me to start such a thread here?

UrbanSea

Doubt there'd be many people to take part convert.

Nate Dogg died. Strange to see a 41 year old die from complications from multiple strokes.

Just reading the Betfair thread, but its locked so I can't ask this there.

What is the point of laying, if you're only getting back what you originally placed?

UrbanSea

You don't. Say you lay a horse at evens,it's the same as backing at evens,just for it to lose.

Eire-Dearg

Yeah, I saw that after reading another tutorial.

The one here just says you get back whatever you placed.

UrbanSea

That doesn't sound right. :pac:

You're not placing a bet, you are taking a bet so the max you can win is whatever amount you take.

The bigger the price the more you risk paying out though.

Thats about as simple as i can put it.

A quote from my friend who reckons he knows a lot about racing.
I had said that Galileo's fee next year is going to sky rocket after Frankel winning the Guineas and that French filly storming away with their 1000 Guineas. He didn't really know what I was on about but acted like he did. He then said...

''I can't wait to see Denman and Kauto Star's offspring''.
