Re: Flat discussion
I can do both quite happily, I like the buzz of a raceday and getting to see great horses up close and personal. I also like a bet but I rarely go big, Just a few pounds here and there.
Sometimes if I have a rare free day I will just watch RUK and ATR without betting, just watching the action and catching up on the latest news from our sport. I like Friday afternoons on RUK as they always preview the big weekend races.
As Paul said its different for each individual. there's no right and wrong way.

On another note is Hans Holbein and Kilmanjaro still with Aiden just they weren't in the racing post stable tour. 2 quick runs on heavy going then this i think took its toll he sweated up badly and hated the track He clearly did not run his true race but suspect he is not good enough anyway. Kilimajaro I suspect is with Joseph at Piltown he was gelded last year and suspect he could go novice hurdling next season. Hans Holbien is in Australia and is trained by Mr Robert Hickmott owned by Lloyd Williams he is yet to run

Re: Flat discussion
Arr rite, thanks.
Is there more horses going to go to Joseph for novice or juvenile hurdling from Coormore. Just like Godolphin supported John Ferguson.

If betting ceased to exist tomorrow there would still be people wanting to race their horses against other peoples 'cause that is what some owners enjoy doing, and there would still be people, like myself, who would follow it.

I don't want people to put too much pressure on his shoulders, that's just not fair on him.

Re: Flat discussion
He certainty looks above average, winning despite still being green. He also won cosily , which is also a good sign. I'd make him favourite after that. I was very impressed. Although Epsom is a complete different course to what he's raced on so far.

Re: Flat discussion
Think he will win on this better ground, unless the Weld horse is something special.
