Slippy is currently in hospital in ICU after a major operation a week ago.

He is recovering very well and sends his best wishes to his fellow forumites.

he is in good spirits and will be watching his beloved palace today from his hospital bed.

im sure everyone will wish slippy a full and speedy recovery and other than villa fans hope that his beloved palace can make it to the fa cup final.

Good afternoon everyone, I'm hugely thankful and moved at all the really lovely messages since I've been on "the easy" list.
I had a very long and gory surgery that is taking it's time. to recover from.
I'm absolutely fine with that and won't be doing any racing days out or even a roadtrip.

I'll be resting up for a minimum of 2  more months I would think.

Crystal Palace winning the F.A. Cup would be an excellent tonic!

Thanks once again everyone.


Love

What a wonderful result. I hardly ever post now, but I remember you from years ago Slippy Blue, with our shared interest in dog racing and sport in general. I'm sad to learn that you've been in the wars (as have I, though perhaps not as badly). I trust that Palace's win has cheered you up, and hope that your recovery continues apace.

Good afternoon people, Sheehan was very positive after the Plumpton spin and Tappers was blowing hard and needed the run. He'll run his usual gutsy race and we're hopeful of a solid performance today in a trappy looking contest, on paper anyway.

I couldn't make it today unfortunately which is a shame as I've never been to Wincanton before. Home safe and sound is always the best result regardless but he "should" run well.

Here's hoping....

A solid run as we expected but those errors proved his undoing.

Slippy, does your syndicate have a policy of giving rides to, and thus encouraging their progress, apprentices, conditionals of limited experience, who claim weight?  If so it is very commendable.
Report SlippyBlue November 20, 2025 12:32 PM GMT
Here's hoping H.

We got the 11/4 and 365 were 3's but Denice has me on the naughty step so we couldn't get that.

It's upto the trainer Suzy L.H.
I saw the video of her post race interview last time when Isabelle finished second and she was very positive about him. He's so honest and gutsy it would be great to see him win again.
