Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

    Hope you can answer a question for me

    I notice that BJ Geraghty has been riding horses other than JP's in some races while JP has a runner.

    Also notice that he rides some outsiders when JP has more than one runner. Can anyone shed some light on this as some may consider he 'choice' as a pointer but Im just very confused about this.

    I thought he was on a retainer?

    Hopefully somebody can clarify

    Thanks

    Nuckey

    It appears that Mark Walsh is number one in Ireland and Barry no1 in England

    JP's number 1 in the UK.

    Hasnt had the pick of the mounts in Ireland for over 18 months now.

    They still put him on the odd 1st choice but mostly Mark Walsh. Walsh is better at stopping them.

    :D

    I think Walsh can do weight that Geraghty can't too.

    Assuming that's correct, we can expect the handbrake to be released in about 3 weeks time?
