Love the fact people think Tricky Trickster has a chance it struggled in the Gold Cup and this is a longer race

Has a day at the races got a bit chavvy lately?

Cos you say it every year lol. It was true what you always said though. McCoy had to win it eventualy. Too good a jockey to finish without a national win it.

Fergies horse - What a friend

See what the weather is like first though, if it's dry leading up to it, it will go well. Talks of them pulling it out if it looks like it's going to piss it down all week.

I had a tenner each way on both, so Niche Market's fifth place has left me a score in front. :)
