YES - ME, ME, ME.....


I'm going to go big on K Star this year. Will take Gold Cup afternoon off and watch it with mates in pub. Went a few times over the years but we have decided Cheltenham is too crowded.


But this should be a great thread Quids - look forward to some racing debate come Cheltenham week.

My bruv is a roofer a very fine craftsman he is a very talented lead worker, I meet him sometimes if he's working in the City.

Years ago I met him when the gold cup was on and he and a mate of his were in a betting shop, his mate was down on his luck and lost all of his wages bar a tenner on some previous dog and horse races. I swear I have never seen to put it paradoxically such a fine gambler, I watched the guy scan the paper like a mad man and put his last ?10 on an accumulator that he had previously devised, I remember my brother chanting you may as well bet the field lol!. The fecker won his wages back and said "I've had enough now I'm not feeling lucky today". WTF........

Ah Quids, thats unfortunate - I don't want to boast too much (well maybe a little) but I was one of few who went on Denman last year (although he was favourite I surprisingly did not know anyone else who backed him).


I went on K Star in the King George on the basis of Paul Nicholls saying he was back to his best and I think that day he was (although I have not paid much attention since then). You are going each way on Exotic Dancer and I think he is a very good each way bet at 12/1 but will you also back K Star or Denman? I could not go against K Star after the King George run.

exotic dancer at 12s, tempting for an each way but no chance for an outright win, however apart from the obvious big two my choice at the mo is notre pere, presently sitting at 25s, so even at this stage a pretty decent ew shout, but mark my words those odds will tumble, i expect it to start no bigger than 12-14s, so get in quick.

Great clip Sean.


There were so many jokes there that I lost count.

Love the way they arranged the Betting, as well:))

Who is that with quids? I could only see 7/4. Thanks.


I notice almost all of the big races have a short price favourite which is not ideal, means you end up looking at backing horses you don't think are the best horse but the favourite is too short. Masterminded is 1/3 for the Qn Mother Champion Chase, which seems ridiculously low, even for a "wonder horse".

Well Quids - I've just taken the 3.05 (>2/1) on betfair. It seems looking at KS's record he has won on all ground conditions, so having checked the weather I'm not too concerned about the ground and hopefully it will not rain too much betwixt now and Friday. Its my biggest bet to date. I'm hoping therefore its a case of last year was a blip on his record. I watched a rerun of last years race and Denman was fantastic but it seemed KS brushed every fence, was never in rhythm during the race and actually despite all that, he was not a million miles away in the end (2nd 7l behind) so I think if he is back on form he will win, fingers crossed.

- but as I'm sure you know, no horse has ever won, lost and then won again so it would be new ground.


Let me know who you choose in the end.

mick be careful of that kempes, not too sure how good it is but the odds have likely come down because of the fact its owned by ross carr ex-down footballer and big joe kernan, so likely a lot of local betting on it.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!

      if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
