I'll be studying hard for this, and hopefully I'll get another massive exacta like I did a couple of years ago. A horse of Paul Webber's and Juniper Girl if I remember rightly
Full House I think..

Safe trip, mate.

Interesting to see neither me or you have included Mastercraftsman at all. Maybe you should tell Johnny that the two best handicappers either side of the Irish Sea don't fancy him.

Yeah, he deserves to be favourite but defo not odds on! Imo, he hasn't run well when it's been quick ground so he has a bit to prove. I opposed henry in this last year and will be doing the same with master! Btw, plane still hasn't moved an inch!

I'll start a book:

1-5 plane delayed because they are having to get more alcohol on board
6-4 waiting for pilot to sober up
5-1 they can't decide whether it's a very short and wide runway or if they're facing the wrong way (I hope you laugh at that one!)
12-1 Johnny Murtagh kicking off after another passenger told him Mastercraftaman had no chance.

How about the Over/Under on total finish by the six Wesley Ward horses?

73 1/2 sounds about right to me.

Is there a free streaming video anywhere? No Youbet or Twinspires. TVG has it, but I don't have an account with them.

Well, it seems like it's been a good day for many of us in the contest. Looks like it could be a real close one this year.

Awful day for many of us, but not Bigs!

Still not got any idea what Johnny Murtagh was doing keeping with that insane pace in the hampton court. Freemantle had no chance keeping with that pace. Look where Big Bound finished after making that stupid early pace!

Radiohead very impressive considering what happened in the Norfolk. How far would he have won with a clear run????
