1) an 8/1 winner in a 0-95 is the same as an 8/1 winner in a Grade 1
2) Check out our DRF results
3) I don't see what the issue is paying for a blue tick (out of our own pockets, by the way) in order to deliver educational and unique racing content on Irish racing is?
4)
It is all well and good dealing with egg and spoon bookies handicaps but when they step into pattern company against one of my well bred maybes with a point to prove there really is only one outcome the danger was a non runner Blessed are the blue ticks for they know nothing...

Galon De Vauzelle is Philips third winner over this festive period. 🎄
Massive congratulations to Philip and his team!
@DangerCDaly
@dec_car
We can't unfortunately. We don't consider ourselves tipsters. We're doing our best to promote all aspects of Irish Racing. We'd like people to listen to the pod and see it's not all bad. In fact it's beautiful

@TakeAPullpod
The difference is the lads at TAP actually do their homework on their fancies, they know the horses previous runs, marks ran off, what they ran against, previous ground going. One of the best Twitter profiles there is regarding horse racing just genuine racing fans, top lads 👏🏼
Two TAP legends fighting out the finish. Eagle Fang just holds on to deny Ataboycharlie!
Close, but no cigar for
@Handy_Andy96
Great to see both horses back to form
The lads will be live from Cheltenham each day. The focus race each day will be a handicap where
@dec_car
&
@Handy_Andy96
pick one horse each, as well as one they agree on.
Then, with a Guinness in hand, they will stroll up to the nearest Tote kiosk and put on reverse forecasts
It's not Ireland but a horse we've been waiting to run is having his first start for Neil Mulholland at
