King George day thread

[humblepie]

Super races today and the Irish racing on free to air as well. ITV7 done - just guess work on names with no specialist knowledge at all.

I went and rode earlier so I could sit and watch this afternoon's racing. Ahoy Senor looks well. What do people fancy for the KG?

 

[humblepie]

King George so difficult - always feel that Clan Des Obeaux is bit of a forgotten horse despite all he has won. I really don't know, would love to see Lost in Translation come back.

King George I think is going to be quite open certainly the betting is going that way. Ahoy Senor was very novicey over his fences which went against him.

Frodon is the only real front runner all the others like to sit in behind so it will be interesting to see what tactics the jockeys use!!

Mr Fisher gets my shiniest pony rosette.

 

[Clodagh]

And Lostintranslation best ears and expression.

I’d like Chantry House. Although any non Irish will do, I’m very parochial.

Wow that's a shock, nice looking horse though

Can't believe that jockey of the grey just walked off and left him with the groundstaff after the fall.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Well that was a result for the Mullins team. I backed the 2nd horse.

 

[Clodagh]

Damn

 

[Velcrobum]

I think there is a HHO forumite leading the winner in!!

So do I! ?

 

[humblepie]

Yes think so too. Mister Fisher wants to be a show horse I think. I had Asterion Forlonge in my ITV7. Don’t think I had any winners today.

I remember who it is now well done Gamebird what a fabulous part-time job to have!!

 

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

We went, had a great day. Envious of Gamebird!

Thank you. It was indeed me. And it was quite some day. Can't quite believe it happened!

Don't be too hard on him. He's pretty injured (despite getting to his feet) and went straight off in an ambulance to hospital.

Have a good Christmas? 'Oh you know, quiet, led up the winner of the King George, opened some pressies'

Some Boxing Day for you. Fabulous
