Oh FFS!! A spa! with women in it! Honestly, I don't get it!!

Who is doing what in QM?

 

[Maddie Moo]

I’m hoping for Jonbon but I wouldn’t mind if Marine Nationale won the QM either.

I’d love a spin around the cross-country, although I’d need someone shouting directions

I’m convinced I’d get lost on it! It’s a fantastic looking track, I bet it’d be a blast to ride some of it. Young me probably would have been brave enough to try the whole thing, I think I’d stick to the banks and hurdles now.

Come on Mister Coffey. This race makes me think of Delta Work who was such a favourite.

 

[Snowfilly]

Shambles on the start again!

 

[Kadastorm]

Shambles start, Vanilier…. How did he manage to nearly go the wrong way?!

 

[Maddie Moo]

Had the second and third

 

[reynold]

Well done Latenightpass for 2nd

 

[Kadastorm]

shame for Gina, was cheering her on. Glad Mr Coffey placed so I’ve still got a winner and 2 places in both my lucky 15’s.
Great finish for stumptown.

 

[humblepie]

Hopefully winner’s equipment all still with him to weigh in. Good race.

I think his overgirth has gone

I think his overgirth has gone

Thank you. Are you there this year?

 

[reynold]

If Mr. Coffey ever manages to finally win a race over fences I hope they retire him!

He is a lovely looking horse, as he is owned by the Bamfords could see him going for a second career.

 

[Kadastorm]

I love Mr Coffey and would love to see him in another career. Would love him myself to be honest

Stewards report -

Race 4 - 3:20pm
THE GLENFARCLAS CROSS COUNTRY STEEPLE CHASE (A LIMITED HANDICAP) (CLASS 2) (GBB RACE)

Sean Flanagan appeared before the Stewards regarding his riding after the third fence and in particular, the line that he had taken. Having heard his evidence, Flanagan was reminded of his obligations to familiarise himself with the course layout.

He’d make a super hunter wouldn’t he?

Naughty Captain Guinness - he made the watchers jump!

 

[Snowfilly]

Right, come on Jonbon!

 

[Smitty]

If I had a wish, it would be Viking Flagship in the lineup

 

[Maddie Moo]

Another stewards update - Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that GALVIN (IRE), which was pulled up, was found to be lame on its right-fore.

Solness just decided to sit on the plastic wing

Have to say Captain Guinness looks well.

 

[humblepie]

These two milers are just gorgeous.

 

[Maddie Moo]

Marine Nationale!!!

 

[photo_jo]

Marine Nationale!!!

Great he won for the horse but at the end of it Barry Connell fired Michael off the horse in November

 

[humblepie]

Oh my .

Hope Energumene okay.

 

[reynold]

Emotional win.

How did Jonbon manage to get 2nd after that mishap!

 

[photo_jo]

Poor Quilixios he jumped from fence to fence, he didn't deserve that

 

[Smitty]

Emotional win.

How did Jonbon manage to get 2nd after that mishap!

I guess, he's a good horse

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Another messy start however, put a few on the back foot

 

[Maddie Moo]

Maybe we should take the Japanese approach and start jump races from a starting gate (I’m joking of course )
