His colouring is so unusual.

Have you seen Secret Squirrel? Proper flaxen mane

My grey was almost black then went grey with black patches almost like a giraffe on his legs then flea bitten. He was very eye catching with his zebra legs.

I won money on him yesterday. I just love his name.

He ran a great race and I agree, such a fab name

Do any of you remember Phantom Chance? I think that was his name-ran at Cheltenham Festival certainly- had a half grey/half bay face

I’m on RUK but as usual they’ve got 25 meetings on so no detail at all. My broadband is insufficient for the special online channel. Come on itv at 12.30.
Stage Star I’m already nervous about… how do people who are face to face involved cope I’ve no idea. And Time to Bite for the Chris Honor Racing Club later on today at Exeter.
Come home safe today, all horses.

 

[Maddie Moo]

Yep I’m watching ITV too, one day I might have either Sky or RUK I was hoping that ITV would cover the US Triple Crown races as they show us the Breeders Cup but sadly not!

As are his plaits

I was on Cloudy Glen, who also had immaculate plaits.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Out the 7 already!!

Just shows not to judge by the plaits

 

[Maddie Moo]

Out the 7 already!!

Me too!

 

[Maddie Moo]

I have to say I’ve gone against Stage Star in the next, I’m not convinced he’ll enjoy the heavy ground, so I’ve gone for Frero Banbou but I hope he runs well for you Clodagh!

Two stone the difference in weight but I still think Stage Star will do it.

What would I know ! Although he ran too bad to be true

 

[Maddie Moo]

2nd for Frero Banbou! He was like a little pony jumping his way round there.

 

[Clodagh]

He jumped so badly. I hope he’s ok. Hopefully he just hated top weight and tiring ground.

 

[Chiffy]

So what was the point of running him in that race then Clodagh? Top weight, heavy ground, so sad to see him hating it!

 

[Maddie Moo]

ITV saying that Stage Star returned sore with pulled muscles, PN apparently not too worried and thinks he’ll bounce back very quickly.

I’ve gone for The Newest One in the next, gorgeous looking horse.

Bob Olinger wins easily, RB made a bit of a risky move trying to get up the stands rail nearly causing him to clip heels with Brewinupastorm.

I guess he might not have hated it. I don’t tend to second guess trainers, PN wants the win as much as anyone.

 

[toppedoff]

It is quite demanding, the ground has been grim with all the rain too glad he's okay though

 

[Spotherisk]

It wasn’t supposed to rain at Exeter until 3pm, but it started at midday. Soft, heavy in places. Horses went well, and I had a few wins/places but I bet peanuts so by the end of the day was £5.50 up.

Chris Honours Time to Bite made all until four from home which he blundered a bit and it slowed him, however he ran on for third and made his trainer, the jockey and his racing club owners very happy!
