Some* need to hang their heads

* they know who they are

 

[Slipps]

I will - 15 microseconds before they jump in the George Main.

But ill let you in on a little secret friend:

ROTHFIRE IS GOING TO WIN THE GOLDEN ROSE BY 40 LENGTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS - there are times and places to pick roughies and the Golden Rose isn't one of them - pretty much every winner has already been well and truly exposed by now

This didnt age well

Shame about the mulligans,but keeping with the golfing theme maybe you could have a 'cut' halfway through.
Let the leaders get on with it and get rid of dead
wood.

At least Probabeel is still in the race for you guys. My Epsom tip has been retired

At least there is a bit more dispersion in the Guineas tips for both sexes - surely they can't all get cursed!

Is anybody going to have a spring champion stakes runner?
