im past being frustrated take the results as they come its a bit of fun

for the 2nd year in a row i should have concentrated on NHC
doing far better over there with no time or effort put in
& my namesake is a little superstar big week for my novice chaser Paul Rhodes

My baby( Twin Oaks)is coming after u Paul Rhodes it's one nil to u, but its a furlong longer so it's getting closer to 3 miles.

Does u horse stay three miles if so it could be a battle all the way to the Sun Alliance at Cheltenham.

Stays 3 miles but not sure about 3 miles around cheltenham so maybe Ryanair Chase is an option
but Golden Miller Novices' Chase G2 most likely

Finally someone agrees with me that it's easier to train winners over the jumps than flat the flat is way to competitive and after all that time you spent on milers Paul turned out to be better jumpers

I'm a bit like u in that I started breeding jump horses very late( got lucky because my flat horse had jumping ability), I started breeding with jump horses and dirt horses and every now and then I still get dirt breed jump horses. Its a shame there's no dirt jump races LOL.

I struggle to breed 2 and a half mile horses, I just cant get any good ones over that distance.

I think the jumps are more competitive( and more fun) than the flat because not all the big races are group 1 like the flat so all trainers have a chance to win a big one like Hennessy/Welsh/Grand National. Plus there's more front runners over jumps and so most of the races are true run races.

good points

RACE 1 Figarowa came UnPlaced wow very poor she is gone outta here milers are a disaster
RACE 2 Our Henry came 4th another solid run gave weight away all round was outpaced Golden Jubilee should suit him well
RACE 4 Conrad Ivan came 2nd lost his unbeaten record but a great showing im sure he will win more races just beat
RACE 5 Comprende came 3rd top weight here gave 2 ahead of 9 lbs so ran a cracker appears 7 suits him
unfortunately that was his last race he has retired

Not so good for me today

1 3rd

only one placed

congrats all winners and placers

R1 Ned Kelly (13th) - was going ok till the jockey took a pull. never going after and was well beaten.
R3 Wild Blue Yonder (3rd) - ran well, just wasn't good enough.
R10 Happy Ranger (7th) - ran on last furlong but never on terms.

well done all winners and placers.

Ecstatic that I won the oaks. I did point out I fancied Home Made a while back and she rallied really well to get up close home.


Of the others Rife ran well with a penalty.

congrats on the classic Leon

What a race the Oaks was!! Cant believe Move Over got beat after hitting the front. But well done to Leon and it was a truly run race!!

Coronation and Derby were over after 1f. Everyone has their gripes with the game this year but slowly run races and how some of the courses favour front runners has to be fixed in SO6. Epsom is a joke.

Congrats on the classic win, was a brilliant race to watch!!

A good day for me also, Pelacacci getting a deserved success in the 7f 3yo listed race, after she had run 2 blinders in the English and Irish guineas. already bettered my total of winners than last season, so happy days.
