Thomo,mate of mine and i are confirmed starters for The Arc weekend!!?

And we are racing again!!? Some of those nominated for Cheltenham are try to get their last run in at Ascot in the weekend and Newbury are looking at getting their card rescheduled which will help alot of Cheltenham bound horses also.

Thanks Mardi, it does seem to be going that way,which makes me think there will be fees added along the way in the future!

Are BGP set up and run as a punters club or a business?

Agree Chief, but I suppose it will come down to each individual club and what they do or don't negotiate,as it would be coming out of their pocket.So the math for them is really important for the bottom line.

Sure is Rowley!Doddie was a hard bastard on the field and a gentleman off it .Had the pleasure to play against him when he was playing for Melrose in The Borders back in 93/94 season.He is now doing some fantastic charity work.

All stables on lock down.Vets doing overtime in next 3 days,Nicky Henderson has 6 vets testing at his stable today! Check out the replays from Leopards town 2/3 February, a lot of horse going to Cheltenham and with the events of the last couple of days are fighting fit with their last runs under their belts!!Some English trained horses may miss last lead up races now before the festival . The festival will be my first bet of the year!! "Bring it on"??

Tom,I thought you were "not for turning". Welcome back

As I said on Thursday ?

Agree whole heartly Rowley.We may have a two prong attack here as you are in the industry and my sources are behind the scenes ?. Weirs story is going to be interesting. Cheers

Rowley, I respect your views on a number of threads,but surely you don't believe all you read?(Aussie feed streams?)My sources are well respected so that's all I can go by!RV and the RVI are the puppets in this show,they can hardly nail a picture to the wall let alone lead a case like this.Who is the puppeteer? Everyone has their own opinion and I respect yours

Weir is innocent until proven guilty.The items found on his premises were released for the media to chow down on!!The Federal police are leading the investigation (not just for the the last couple of months)which could mean there is something deeper here.Only time will tell.

That's a tough one Centaur,as the 11% are claiming that he is "trolling"!!Either way he can't win. Personally I don't have an issue with him apart from getting a little over excited on some threads,especially defending his point.It would be a bit boring if everyone had the same opinion would it not? I think this all started over a (my c##ks bigger than yours) my BP is better!!Who cares what system you use as long as you are happy and making something on the side. Life is short. Cheers

Quite possibly Chief. We all know it's not a cheap game as a owner, racing 1, 4 or "90"!!

Suzi Best,Is she the wife of trainer Jim?Who got put out for a positive test or something like getting the jock to "ride them cold" ? Come in Flagship or Red Rum

All the very best to everyone for a relaxed and happy festive season. Just flew in a couple of days ago and have seemed to bring the weather with me (sorry).Anyway,the inlaws are taking great care of us with delicious food and wine!!Even pulling out a bottle of 40 year old port from Oporto (outstanding ) Cheers

Onya Barry!!? Come in Tommo?

Quick question Thomas, what would your units typically transpire into $$ wise? Cheers

Any other suggestions for the 324 boayers ??

Jess,any win for our syndicate is classified as a "group win"?

Has had a few winners in Victoria of late!!With the Aussies, you don't but they seem to like him.

Watch out NZ , Birchley is coming!!?

Barry,your thoughts on the cup being a invite only?So to find a more balanced field from around the world or a series of qualification races to justify there places in the field.

I like your enthusiasm Thomass, but this technicolour dream chart has put me in a spin.I feel with all this info to get through I wouldn't get my bet on be fore they jumped!!For me the simple gut feeling ,watching and waiting (plus some inside info) and not over thinking things usually reap rewards?. If your system works for you that's fine,but for me there are to many ifs,but's and maybe's to invest with any confidence All the best

Good to have you back Thomass. Bang in form!!!
