175 Daggers at Gateshead which is a pretty amazing turnout for us for such a long distance one.

Reserve team my arse. We won't be confirmed in the play-off either way with three weeks of the season left.

Barry Geraghty set to miss the festival as well. Losing jockeys as well as horses now..

This absolute gem popped up on my twitter feed this afternoon. "Former clubs"

Four draws last night :eyes:

Desperately sad but in the business that is modern football it's the only decision they could have taken unfortunately.

Limini beat Apple's Jade at Punchestown this afternoon, rumoured that he may be in for the Champion Hurdle now.

I am the best looking footballer on 1FF /Close thread.

I've not followed horse racing for as long as you chaps, but in my few years the only wide open Gold Cup I can remember was 2014 (?) when Lord Windermere won it from On His Own, think both were 20/1 shots. Even that year Silviniaco Conti was a favourite I think.

Makes it *relatively* wide open at least, although I assume Native River is the favourite.

I'm only 21 but I've always been quite tight with money. At Uni I budgeted for my first two years to last on £40 a week all in (excluding rent) and very rarely went above that. This year, after having two jobs for a 18 months and a year respectively, I've been a bit less stringent and enjoyed...

I'm quite bad with that if I look at a racecard and see a horse I fancy. Feel like I have to back him because I'll kick myself if it wins. Tbf did it yesterday, stuck ITV4 on for a bit just ahead of a race and tried to punt on Vieux lion rouge but missed it by about 30 seconds on 8/1 and the...

Not the worst shout. But then I listened to the podcast and he also floated Tony Adams coming in as manager of Arsenal so I'm loathe to going anywhere near a man who has that absurd an opinion.

I know someone that tries to do that with 'Droopy's in the greyhounds.

In all seriousness, massive congrats to Lincoln. Huge achievement. Especially chuffed for the Cowley brothers, followed them since they were at Concord and it's not a massive surprise that they're ripping it up (although I don't think anyone could have predicted an FAC6R appearance with...

If it's Trevor Kettle it's usually fair, to be fair.

Do any of you lot have favourite horses? Ones that you'd back blindly but aren't 'big' names? Empire of Dirt and Opal Tiara are my two.

One of my favourite lower league tropes is when a journeyman turns up on the opposition team. Always used to love it when Kevin Ellison or Efe Sodje turned up with Rotherham/Morecambe and Bury. It's like seeing an old relative every year :lol:
