Sad for our esteemed owner, would of been great to see the horse try and win three in a row. Mullins will have another star lined up in his place I'm sure!

Not sure, it's still running. Really about time the owner put it out to grass

Tony has Tango Boy running at Doncaster this afternoon (15:22) - Opened up at around 6/1 and appears to be on the drift (9/1 in places as I write).
Well worth keeping an eye on the market as we get closer to the off.

Massive blunder at the open ditch, any small chance it had will be gone I'd guess

A different kind of pasty
Very nearly all over at second jump

Jumping like a stag now, pity it's as slow as a steamroller.

The cleverest Premier League football club tycoon is also a devoted racehorse owner committed to “expanding” his racing empire. QED: put Tony Bloom in charge of UK racing and tell him to replicate the miraculous transformation of his Brighton & Hove Albion FC. One day last week Bloom addressed...

Tony has Ile Atlantique running this afternoon (13:42 Naas) 7/4 generally available with most bookmakers and just shy of 2/1 on the exchanges - Definitely worth keeping an eye on the market as we get nearer to post time.

The 16/1 winner is a very good horse..
lle Antlantique looks like a chaser going over hurdles.. Arkle 2025 next year or possibly the Turners as 2m 4f will suit better

Tony's Tango Boy is declared to run tomorrow at Plumpton (15:20) - Will be well worth keeping an eye on the market once the prices become available.

11 year old running three miles round a ploughed field with a few hurdles thrown in, and two most recent runs ended Fell and Pulled Up? Not for me Jeff, not even each way at a hefty double figures price

Plumpton very much not a ploughed field these days. The grounds staff won grounds team of the year last year. They have really sorted out the drainage and the turf is in brilliant condition now, investment and hard work really paying off. As a member there it has been very much improved in the last ten years or so.

Can't argue with that - 2 horses died racing there last year compared to 5 in 2022 and 8 in 2021
Barbaric so called "sport" where horses die solely for betting purposes.

Fair enough, not been there for a while. Think the last time I was there a 66/1 outsider came home in a three mile chase in a field of three, being the last horse left standing
