talking of outstanding performing horses   BBC Sport are picking up that Altior has been retired and will be going to spend his retirement with Mick Fitzgerald  

Nicky Henderson quoted as saying: ``It's been a great journey, but all good things must come to an end''

Hope Mick Fitz has a comfy sofa and a big shovel ? 

Should really in hindsight retired prior to his last 2 disappointing runs , I think Henderson would hope he'd do a Sprinter Sacre .

Happy retirement Altior .

It will be interesting to see how the jumps compares with their flat alternatives with these selections

14 selections from 30 races = about 47% no doubt influenced by jumps racing today

RESULTS UPDATE

The Big 3 had 5 winners today out of 14 selections.  The odds created a small gain of 1.75 points which means the carry forward is now -8.81 points

My alternatives only produced one winner at 7/2 but this meant a loss of 8.50 points.  The cumulative loss has now grown to -63.4 points
