Tingle Creek / Becher Chase weekend

[humblepie]

It’s going to be tough going in the London National later….

Didn’t realise that was today. Let’s hope Tommie Beau gets the win

London National was a nice watch, despite the mud.

It was great to see Mr Vango win for Sara Bradstock, looks like he’s going straight to Chepstow for the Welsh National.

Romantic Warrior wins at Sha Tin over Liberty Island! He’s the first horse to win the Hong Kong Cup three times.

And another Skelton win.

The VT they've just shown of Viking Flagship in 1994 is dreadful quality. I thought TV was better that? I'll have to ask my dad what programmes were recorded onto then.

I thought that. I watched it last night and I said it looks more like 1960’s footage.

Bretney led the whole way round but picked up well after the final fence to be a convincing winner of the Borders National.

Good round, I enjoyed watching that.

And Djelo was fab as well. Britney jumped super to win.

Bluegrass just won at Huntington ex O’Brien horse who was third in the Dante. Can’t access my RP account on phone to look at his sales record.

Also nice to see Emergumene back.

 

[McGrools]

Loving seeing British trainers on flying form. Venetia and the Skeltons are on an impressive roll. Djelo was very impressive. I lost interest at the end of last season when Mullins was hammering us chasing the championship. It’s great to see us fighting back

 

[Maddie Moo]

Energumene returns a winner in the Hilly Way after 593 days off the track!

Ferny Hollow is okay after he fell during the race.

Also I love the Jockey Cam from the Hong Kong Vase…

[Snowfilly]

That mares bumper was entertaining, swerving around the hurdle wings like a bending race!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Another Skelly win

 

[Maddie Moo]

Sad update as Ferny Hollow is confirmed to have died following his fall yesterday, initially he was reported as okay by the trainer but RP just announced he sustained injuries when he fell and died a short time afterwards.

Have just seen that about Ferny Hollow. That is very sad.

Caldwell Potter is about to have his second chase, hoping, really hoping that he’s the real deal

That didn’t go as expected !

That didn’t go as expected !

Saw the result but not the race.

Mister Coffey who is in the Cross Country race again would make a gorgeous show horse......

 

[Maddie Moo]

I have to say Stumptown is a gorgeous horse, very eye catching.

Oh the replay from last year with Francky Du Berlais

 

[Maddie Moo]

Stumptown isn’t just a pretty face

Mr Coffey so close to getting a win!

Indeed. That was one seriously cool ride, the way his jockey looked like he was just sat there whilst the others were working hard. I am sure he wasn't just sat there but all the same cool

Unfortunately looks like Cheltenham will have low sun. Urgh

 

[Maddie Moo]

Good luck to all you OG owners of Stage Star today

 

[Maddie Moo]

Get in Gemirande!!

Cracking run. Thought Fugitif was going really well at the turn but glad Gemirande held on.

I was shouting at the tv I very rarely bet nowadays but that was a nice little profit off a £1 e/w bet.

I’m a big fan of Venetia and how she trains.

 

[Maddie Moo]

Joyeuse is stunning

 

[humblepie]

Only saw the early races but good racing.

I would love to have been sat on Vanillier! Johnny was having a ball out front on him and his jumping was
