The pain hasn't lessened after 36 years. We were relegated that season and took us 34 years to make it back.

Nice try Howie. We probably won't bother. I was just rattling your chain 😁

Was actually Steve Gatting PJ. Moved to Brighton after Arsenal and played for us for 10 years including the 1983 Cup Final that we should have won. Smith must score... He didn't 😭

We may HTD this Saturday Howie. You v PJ has some merit. Watch this space

Wow some horse. The one good thing that may stop him being sold is that the owner is a very wealthy man. He may just want to enjoy owning a potentially great horse.

Where's Winston? What a bloody joke this whole thing is.

Duh because I prefer the original. Just my very humble opinion of course.

Hmm not sure if I agree on that one.

Let it go Maxi. Let it go 😄

Both part of the Belle family and descend from Belle Time.

It appears the owner might have 'let it go'. Still down this morning.

Graeme Hick springs to mind.

Hi Doug I know you take a look in here quite regularly. Just wanted you to know that you are welcome to register and post here any time you like. We won't moderate you in any way as long as you behave yourself. P.S Don't you think it's rather hypocritical to champion free speech when you have Hesi and I on moderation on your site?

You're a flat track bully Alan 🤣

Now let me guess Rees. The nuclear option 😁?

Finished a very long way behind the placegetters. Just makes me sad.

One of the many great things about Raceplace is that we're ad free. You could go elsewhere but then you might see this.

No it's far more fun to focus on the negatives. Although it did break my heart watching Aalaalune. You have a potential Oaks filly being pressure cooked by the owners. What a waste. Should have left her with Jacob.
