    Use of the dutching calculator is very helpful and I always use it at these sort of meetings.

    Just read about Party Politics winning the Grand National 5 days before 1992 General Election. Will lightning strike twice with White Star Line winning the Pulteney a day after the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Father V

    I seem to remember on the footy show Saint and Greavesy (itv,pre sky!) had a free Charity bet of £25 on Party Politics winning the National and I think it was Liverpool winning the F.A cup that year.I think the odds were at least 250/1.

    Just seen the most impressive display by Sprinter Sacre , beating the course record hard held so 5-4 for the Arkle looks good. Also other horses on my short list so far, i am sure it will get bigger are, Bless the Winds Chapoturgeon Rocky Creek Zarkander bound to be placed in champion Hurdle and could surprise Hurricane Fly  Father Vaigret

    In Response to Re: Horses for Cheltenham:
    if taking raya star as a guide in regards form, you'll have to have another look at rock on ruby's win over him in the handicap earlier this season, if memory serves he was giving more weight away than Zarkander did, and Rock on ruby W/O the fly @ 9/1 looks a standout bet, couldnt envisage rock on ruby finishing outside top 4, relishes the hill. i noted on todays racing thread that Zarkander could be a handicap snip but did not want to play given the price and Nicholls' record in race. I failed to mention at the time, which I meant to, was that even given this stat, theres always a chance that he never had one as good as Zarkander running in it, and that most definately proved the case. Hats off he looks very smart, the triumph form did already but hes improved again and will improve further for his run in March after today's outing. From my previous posts you may well have hooked onto the fact that I like to try to find alternatives to the favs and get them beat, or at least have some e/w value. In all fairness I had tried to do same with spirit son come march but had fingers burnt antepost. This was further heightened by the fly's build up thorught season, various setbacks ringing the alarm bells of old, but after the irish champ hurdle, theres no getting away from the fasct that once the fly turns up in March he wins. So the w/o market (you could have had Zark in that @ 4's before today) looks the best option if not ready to plough into the defending champion.

    Well done

    Pity Zarkander not as fit as he should have been. Takes nothing away from a superb run by Rock on Ruby. Lovely to Overturn do well as well.

    Two more to add to Cheltenham Baby Mix, Triumph all others have had their bubbles burst . Tom George might have one two because West Brit also useful    Hunt Ball, he will be at bottom of handicap and is improving all the time. Handicapper wont catch up with him yet Father V

    Ok he ended up top of the handicap but didnt matter.

    Lovely winner , lovely story and  more lovely money coming my way

    First time poster in peace.

    I would like to say I think you have come in for a bit of uneccessary stick earlier on a different message topic, some like Father Viscount you have a good rapport with, others singing children's programme themes not so much, and on that front you are as bad as each other at times, although being a viewer only I am sure it is only banter.

    However, after viewing your scribblings over the last while, and albeit some fancies that never come to fruition, I see you have so much conviction in your picks and back them up with good analysis.

    Now your Akertac pick ran abysmally, but I respect your analysis of breaking down the trends, something I cannot possibly find the time to do with my busy schedule, and I'll let that one slide by as I backed it on your prediction.

    So I will therefore add you have made me a very happy man as I saw something like a rough diamond in your confidence behind Rock On Ruby, original post as has been recently posted by Father Viscount, the assessment of a form line which would see a less fancied animal turn tables on its superiors.

    In conclusion, my friends and I, who have the odd chuckle at you and your adversaries' antics on this forum from time to time, thought we would copy your four selections for the day, as they are not a 'standalone' prediction, but are backed up with understanding and reasoning, whatever the result. 

    And it was to our great joy that not only your Frooney O' Ronney managed to win my friends and I a handsome amount on place returns, and may I add very unlucky not to seal victory, but a superb tip of Rock On Ruby led us all to raise a glass in toast to Sir Bell of Poker for a wonderful financial result for us all, relegating the 'unbeatable' Hurricane Flight and for making a work associates day out such an enjoyable one. 

    Keep up the top class tipping and don't let other Imbeciles provoking you let them take you down to their level, as this is what happens, and your better than that, but you end up looking in the same or worse light than them after you bite back!
     
    Stay focused and keep to the fine chap that you really are and I shall be tuning in tomorrow to see what you have in store then. 

    I thought it would be worthwhile to say thank you and show my appreciation
     
    Kind regards, Mr T Z

    A very good day racing which was very enjoyable.

    I had 2 winning races( Quevega and Balthazar king).

    So a losing day, although I have to confess that I had a small interest in Cinders and Ashes and Rock on Ruby at the last moment, which helped to cut my losses.

    Hopefully  tomorrow will be a better day!

    Good luck all!
