Thosedaysaregone!

Are u still languishing at the bottom of the first division, such a shame,u should let Salmon show u the way with a bit of On Demand

I've just gone with Sonic for my nap - of course I should have read your thread first--100 lines to write--"check with Skinto first"

I actually agree with Norfolk about this one. Nearly put it up as my Nap last night but,like him,I assumed it would be odds-on and for the moment I am avoiding such shorties.

charles has given thommo the nod

Most jockeys would've kept going there. The horse was tanking.

How's your luck

LOL - what a useless ride - and managed to take out 2 other horses as well

At what point did he lose the irons?

He was looking down after the last first time round

OK, I didn't see a mistake but noticed plenty of head movement.

Drifts like **** ...saddle slips say no more

Fav falls at first fence at Southwell, Irish raider strongly fancied and fav, pulled up after rider loses his irons. One could not make it up.

Thought that myself, these days jockeys keep going especially if there's only two to jump.

He was continuously looking down after about a mile, knocked me out of the placepot!

A short priced fave's jokie losing his irons eh. OUTRAGEOUS! If they didn't bring them oarsies over for the Sedgefield air, Shirley the trainer's orsie will win the 3.35 or it could be a double lay coup!

to be honest sometimes its really questionable the value in jumps of a 7 or 10lb claimer - so much is about race rding, presenting horse at fence or hurdle and pace and position

are you sure your not clayton of the morning star

All the money for Sonic. Do the math..

I thought the claimer carried out instructions perfectly

probably right -
mad to punt on this game - as you are entrusting your money , thoughts , judgements
into an untrustworthy market involving untrustworthy people

He lost ONE iron when the horse stumbled slightly on the flat, then he baled out.

Didn't look good did it. Eben Mick Fitzgerald was more or less saying he should have kept going.

im sure the security/integrity department will be checking all the accounts as we speak

"The Stewarts carried out an inquiry into the running of Thosedaysaregone in the 2.30 at Sedgefield and asked what does a punter expect in a sport where money is involved. They found no difference in this race to any other race and stated it is now time for a bit of tiffin before the next race".

Race 2 - 2:30pm
THE bet365 NOVICES' HURDLE RACE (CLASS 4)

Approaching the bend out of the back straight, the saddle slipped on THOSEDAYSAREGONE (IRE), causing the rider to lose his irons and whilst trying to pull up, caused interference to MAJOR MINUS, unplaced, and in turn REGARDE MOI, unplaced, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved.

probably as far form a cynic or conspiracy theorist you will find on the form, even i found that one a tad odd

the integrity dept have looked it and discovered these accounts lay all of norfolk's .

Only joking mate!

you need to know which accounts were laying it for good money. 

believe me, betfair are all over this in fact Sandra's going to look into it 2 weeks on Thursday right after she's finished dusting the plants ...

5/1 not to place,they might be thick but their not stupid

fitzy chooses now to tell us it took byrnes 10 hours to drag the horse to sedgefield.  it clearly wasn't keen on running, i'd have laid it had i known this ....

Due to Charles Byrnes's excellent past record, the stewards decided to take no further action.

Purcell was a central figure in a sensational outcome to division one of the bumper where trainer Charles Byrnes saddled the first two home. The race was won by Byrnes' Alpha Royale (7/1) under a strong ride from Martin Ferris but that was completely overshadowed by the ride from Purcell on the second placed Laetitia, which was unfancied at 14/1.

Purcell sat motionless on Laetitia for much of the home straight and although the rider's second crack of the whip inside the final furlong did connect, the rider appeared to do insufficient to help his mount close home, allowing Alpha Royale to win by a length.

Same trainer's Viking Hoard drifting out to sea!

Obviously didn't like the Sedgefield air!

what's that story about the one of his that won in the fog that day, that he allegedly wasn't happy about?!

the one where he pulled the jockey off the horse

maybe we should ban runners from ireland below the top 2 grades? They can do the same .

that's the one, Fear (allegedly)

all i remember was he was supposed to have a face like thunder despite having a winner

you have to love thommo asking charles about his chances and believing he'll get an honest answer

russell not riding them is a big clue

I remember that, can't recall the jockeys name but didn't he retire not long after.

Tom Doyle?

anyone remember Charles and the would Tom Doyle after Solwhit won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse

bould

ah I see others are having similar great memories of Charles
