Not the very high profile races but valuable prizes.

Agreed, the irish are like listening to Mourinho rave about the community shield and League cup whilst City are walking away with the league.

They must overwork them at a young age, im betting Samcro wont win nowt in open company. Douvan, Faugheen, Min, un de sceaux what have these so called beasts won? A champion hurdle. Wow, Buveur dair's already won two of them and hes sh1t.

Maybe the need to introduce a winter break in irish racing?

was trying to say

its a shame this forum
and many like it
start with good intentions
but end up with keyboard warriors
or wind up merchants
