It's always nice when what happens in u trials happens in the league, I think my fav trials i've ever run were the two mile chasers between slaney fox and Penny Fiction who dominated my races and looked special but u never know how they will perform in the league. It's the first time i've ever won those races. Be my Princess ran a fantastic race over a distance that is short of her best, not sure who my second horse will be in the national. Over the last few weeks the dreaded fallers has started to happen again, I have no idea why because they are proper jumpers with good jump bars, it doesn't seem to have any effect on them. Even though I had 3 winners I should sack myself because i've put 3 or 4 horses in the wrong races, it goes to show even after alll these years u can still mess up

Congrats to Del on winning the Arc

The party is on at the 'Hollywood Residence'
Congrats Del - what a great result!

NEWSFLASH - Quotes from winning trainer "Always gonna get up" & "Winner on merit, best horse in race"

I will get shot

Congrats Del on winning the Arc, what an upset!!!

you just made the list

well done to Del on winning the Arc

Well done, Del! Big congrats. Amazing finish and result there.

Ok, well I watched the replay last night after my (supposedly) off the record private chat with Stu and I will concede that Paul's jockey did stop riding close to the line. You don't always notice these things when commentating especially when trying to remain neutral and not urging your own horse home. Swings and roundabouts though as the same thing happened to me on the flat last week although that was in an egg and spoon race and not a festival Group race. Maybe we will get a rematch before the end of the season and the chance to confirm my belief that she is the better horse

Great Cheltenham for Leedham Towers so far, full review after Day 3.

And well done Del, major surprise there in the Arc. Glad I got to unexpectedly commentate on the shock of the season so far. Now, if Stu or Doug could win the National next week that might just top it

Oh, and Stu, you just made a second list !

well done del great race i'll save my moaning till later congrats mate

bittersweet day 1 G1 winner and a day of fast finishing placers 2yo filly Lafayette follows up to win a G1 think we all saw the Arc 3/4f to go twisted is 7/10 and gets short headed hes still a beast great comms btw martin

Congrats Del on The Arc Win Stephen unlucky run by your horse but put a smile on my face to see Dels horse win a big one I also must say I am a very upset man totally been picked on by Saints and Greaves on their show total and utter disrespect for the handicapper and then Martin wins the Fred Winter with a well Handicapped horse I hope he and that sidekick give me more respect or I won a race the JCB 4yo Grade 1.


Gray


just kidding guys that was a laugh

We only tease you because we know you can take it Gray … and without giving anything away I am fairly sure you will be getting some sweet revenge later today.

Thanks Steve, your horse nearly made a liar of me though. I should have learnt by now never to say anything is beaten in this game the way they can find a second wind.

Not had time to do a full write up may do tomorrow. But a great day at chelts for me with three G1 wins.

Grats Del on the Arc was cheering you home when running that and been biting my tongue since
