The record was six but was that in a three day festival or the four day festival,Ruby is a great jockey but lads look at the book of rides he had in fairness riding for the top trainers both sides of water.

Well done istabraq, you are well named. Also well done Dubinmeath, probably the oldest poster in the competition, i.e the one that has been posting on here the longest, maybe Horse would have something to say though. A worthy runner up all the same. Also, fair play Paddyogall who rounded out the top three.

Loyal fair play for all the hard work, a credible 6th. Betfair exchange is definitely the best I got Denman during the race at 9/2 to PLACE with 4 to jump, couldn't believe it, only home from the pub now!
