Pirates... I'm not taking sides but imho the quote I used is what set off the personal stuff and though what you say could be true, the personal stuff was imho unnecessary (whether or not retaliating for something previously said, no need to deal with it here). Plenty of ways you could have made the point without calling someone an idiot etc. I have no issues with you and I have none with BP but, as you say, this is a forum and its meant to be just a helpful and fun thing, that is all. But let us not continue the topic, its hopefully done n dusted now.

Captain of all x Proverb.....

That also bothered me.......but Anton's no fool.

I took a treble on Thursday (nice prices)

Bez Valley (R2) showed good improvement in her last run. Place chance. In R4, Trix of the trade, never far off and drops in trip today and gets the blinkers on. Place chance. Also like Zara's Legacy in the same race, hanging and not striding out in her last race still finishing close behind Anatalya winning her latest. In R5 Tullynally won her maiden race in good style and carries a very light mass and should run well in her handicap debut.

Good luck to all today.

Valmont to blow them all away

Just playing Devil's Advocate here, Priano, what put's me off is that when the jockey booking were made, Marcus was not injured, Marcus and Laird do have a long standing (good term) relationship, so unless Laird has planned a brialliant coup here (and the money has since come for Priano) - i'm not sure this is the winner - good luck to the stable if it comes off though.
