50 odd views and not a word of gratitude from anyone. That must be what people are referring to when they say the forum is going to the dogs. Or perhaps those very same critics, expect to just continually take take take from the forum without ever contributing or expressing gratitude.

Kavvie saw/listened to some of it on line but missed some bits including bit on Supreme. Can you remember what did Patrick say on that race and did he indicate what Ruby might ride and/or was his choice dependent on ground.

Been to a preview before with Sean Quinn, shrewd enough like his dad, the previews without the so called big names tend to be better more open to giving out true opinions on horses
