West Ham Online

I'm thinking of going for Stumptown but my last winner was West Tip in 1986, so any tips?

Celebre de Allen age 13 passes away two days after being pulled up after jumping the last.

Jockey Michael Nolan had already received a ten day ban by the stewards for continuing when the horse had nothing more to give.

Not a good look with animal rights groups up in arms at what they deem to be it's abhorrent treatment.

They won't be satisfied until the race which has already been dumbed down to make it considerably safer is banned for good.

Dog racing is soon to be banned in Wales so these groups are having an impact and slowly getting their way.

It's a tough old game for jump jockeys 

In what other sport do you have two ambulances following behind you ?

A couple of mates have chasers and hurdlers but it's often to
expensive to insure them so if one gets injured and needs to be retired or put down you have also lost all of your investment.

Had a tenner on Nick Rockett! Pays for a drink tonight.

Get in. Won something today!

Percival Legallois  Win 

JP McManus has a very strong hand this year and this could be the pick
 
Broadway Boy. E/W 

Course winner and he will appreciate the trip although would need to jump better than he did at Cheltenham.
 

Used to be a proper, real man's steeplechase back in the day: dogs got fed, glue got made.

Now it's just an overly long PETA-driven woke-race.

Stumptown and Intesnse Raffles for me 

EW on Grangeclare West 

Foinavon?

100/1?

No chance.

Put your money on Foinavon.
