?Yes Thomo! You could say that it's a thread of "two halves",and we all know how the second half ends!! If we had a horse called J A,how would his form look? How would the horses discriptive runs look on paper? ?

What two great rides from John Allen on Kenedna and Etana at Doomben yesterday.No hussle and bussell, just getting his mounts to relax in running and producing his horses with perfect timing.

Coming up the middle and stand side yesterday, with most jockeys fighting over the preferred middle strip?

T O looks good but doesn't mean much unless you have a "tight grip on the spending reigns" and I'm guessing he probably has having been in and out of the industry for a while.For where HQ is situated the mark up should be quite profitable. At the end of the day it's all about the end of year net profit and if HQ is making money and creating jobs,good on them. JMO

Where art thou Thomo??

Over 2500 winners Flagship. I would be slightly peeved though if I was a punter who backed Ruby to be top jock at Punchestown week and he pulls the pin after day 2!! (Ouch)

Middle and stand side usually the best,this also depends on the weather and how the track is riding on the day. All the best

Sorry Chief,fat fingers!!You can delete this one.

Irish jump jockey legend Ruby Walsh has called it a day on his career after winning the Gold Cup on Kemboy at Punchestown today.

No winners in town yesterday, but two hot favs got up at Dalby!!I was beginning to think that he may have had a stable virus!Interesting to see how the stable goes during the week and next Saturday.

Leading up to the carnival,I see that Tony Gollan has had a couple of quite weeks(last 2 weeks,31 starters 0 winners).Should be hitting his straps!!Interesting how the stable will go today.

Agree Flagship ? Maybe Thomo has swung too far to the "left" and snuck in the "back door" at the cul-du-sac!!

Babies being the operative word here!!As Turny said life is to short, so let's just stack this on the appropriate shelf and move on.Bring the toys back guys as we all still want to play

Go Koepka !! Share of the lead on day 2

Sorry Wally!Slow away and by all accounts pulled up shin sore!! Onya Weasel, 6-1 still a tasty return?

No real bets on day 3 apart from a sneaky £5 acca with 5 horses (Monalee let me down),but have a couple of ante-post for day 4 and may have a little play with profit from day one or save it for Aintree? Ride of the festival so far has to be Barry Geraghty on Sire Du Berlais,first class!!

Big win!! The way he powered up that hill was pretty high class
