The two highest rated hurdlers in training out of the Champion Hurdle and the highest rated staying chaser along with the two previous winners out of the Gold Cup. 

Not a vintage year.

I've an unbroken Getaway out in the back field. I might pop him over a fence tomorrow and supplement him!

If Willie had any guts at the start of the year Douvan would have a penalty kick now.

I couldnt sleep the other night so got up and did some channel surfing, before landing on horse racing in Australia. I don't bet or follow horse racing, but the place looked warm and nice.

Anyway, you know when they lead the horses around in a circle before the jockeys mount up, do the horses ever stand on people's toes?
