George Baker and Daniel Mark Loughnane

Throw Tony Culhane and Eddie Ahern into the party.
The whole thing stinks like a giant steaming cesspit.

Does anyone still bother e-mailing the BHA with the ebnt rides.

Tony Culhane, the rider of TRUE TO FORM (IRE) unplaced, reported that the gelding moved poorly throughout.

Job Done

The Stewards considered the apparent improvement in form of the winner TRUE TO FORM (IRE), ridden by Tony Culhane and trained by George Baker, compared with its previous run at Leicester on 23 August where the gelding finished eighth, beaten twelve and a half lengths, on good to firm ground. They noted the trainer’s representative’s explanation that TRUE TO FORM (IRE) had had recent foot problems and appeared better suited by the more forgiving polytrack surface. She added that the gelding had possibly benefitted from the shorter trip. They ordered TRUE TO FORM (IRE) to be routine tested.

True To Form came back to form....., the run of the 5/2 paper favourite Yourinthewill though is a stinkbomb.

very reminiscent of the 8.20 September 2009 at Wolverhampton.
Royal Island 20/1 into 2/1 favourite, New World Order 5/2 trained by Edgar Byrne ridden by Tom Queally coming off a win at Kempton.
