If you get chance to see the opening round of the MotoGP from Qatar yesterday you should give it a watch. A cracking race which sets up the season really well. 18 more races like this would be fantastic. 

I prayed for you Max but no joy I'm afraid. Just Cousin Pete and Theinval each way for me today. Good Cheltenham for me overall. Finished about 300 quid up. 

Even though I don't know my Pearce from my Cole I'm still not seeing it. 

Remember that the placepot is run by the Tote @TildeGuy~! not by Skybet. It's Tote rules on places. 

I've had 2 of the first 3 winners. Didn't have Delta Work. 

They should retire Cue Card now. He doesn't owe them anything. 

So here we go again for day 3. I hope Sam Spinner wins the Stayers. Had a few quid on him ante-post after he won what was the Fixed Brush at Haydock earlier in the season. The ground will be right for him. 

I look forward to the book A Brief History Of #Hashtags by J N Lister. It's got bestseller written all over it.

Not sure how to post pictures but I've always thought Adam Pearce resembled the vocalist from The New Radicals.

Gregg Alexander Bay Bay. 

I'm not seeing it if I'm honest. 

That was a proper career shortening fight for them both. 

I got bummed today like I was swimming in a pool at Michael Barrymore's house. Nothing won but everything finished between 2nd and 6th. 

Cue Card will either fall or finish 2nd tomorrow. I was there when he won the Champion Bumper, you could have heard a pin drop. They should retire him now, he deserves the rest. 

Sounds like Ruby Walsh has broken his leg, and as average a ride as Davy Russell gave Petit Mouchoir yesterday he gave Presenting Percy a cracker today. 

I can't be having Altior or Douvan today. Altior was lame 2 days ago and Douvan hasn't run for a year. Min for me. 

The rest of mine today are flights of fancy and I won't bother you with them

I agree about Ms Parfois's nose. Had Benie Des Dieux Ms Parfois and Mr Whittaker in a treble. 

Bollocks. 

That was closer than you'd want in a short priced treble. Wasn't sure Melon wasn't going on to win that after they jumped the last. 

They both wanted to lead and they buzzed each other up. That race was lost early on.

Mark Chapman already testing my patience and it's only 9:45am.

Do you mean Matt Chapman Butch? I think they are both bellends but Mark is worse for me. 

I don't like Getabird either. First Flow for me in the Supreme. Won his last 2 on heavy and the last was at Haydock where heavy means sinking up to the hocks. 

I'd also picked out Ms Parfois and Mr Whittaker 

You need to watch the Moto3 as well @BigJag. There was one of the races last year where every rider in the top 19 was in the lead of the race at some point during it. For all the people who complain about the lack of overtaking in F1 Moto3 is for you.

I am looking forward to the new f1 season, i hope Verstappen,has a more reliable car this season, he is very exciting to watch 

Are there any major rule changes for this season? 

They have brought in New tyre compounds Ralphy, and they've outlawed the stupid shark fin on the back. They've also brought in the halo protection for the drivers. 

The F1 season was pretty good. You are always going to get races where the first 1 around the first corner will win, but as King of the Coconuts said we have 2 of the best drivers of this generation in Hamilton and Vettel, we have the heir apparent in Verstappen, the brash Aussie who has had his nose pushed slightly out of joint by the younger teammate in Danny Ric. Add in a mid field of up and comers like Sainz, Ocon, and Perez, and the glorious grumpiness of Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso and you have an entertaining season. 

What will this season bring, testing can be a game of cat and mouse. Notice that Mercedes didn't run the hyper soft at Barcelona for example. If I had to guess you'd think that Red Bull and Ferrari have probably got a bit closer to the Mercs but we shall have to see. 

Can I also ask any MotoGP fans here?

Bill and Ted isn't acting though is it. That's Keanu playing Keanu, and that was a stretch. I just can't watch anything he's in. 

If that is a Matrix reference Zeb it has gone over my head I'm afraid. I haven't seen it and I can't watch anything that wooden motherfucker is in. I have a very simple and quite low benchmark when it comes to acting. Are you better than Chris O'Donnell in The Three Musketeers, and if the answer is No then I don't watch it. Keanu has never met that standard. 

The only way to know the real age of Keanu Reeves is to cut him in half and count the rings. 

So how many matches do we think we are looking at for Mania. Pre show to main event? You'd have to have the following. 

1. Universal Title 

2. WWE Title 

3. Smackdown Tag Titles

4. Raw Tag Titles

5. Intercontinental

6. US Title

7. Raw Women's

8. Smackdown Women's. 

9. Cruiserweight

10. Steph/HHH v Rousey/Angle

11. Cena v Undertaker. 

12. Andre The Giant Battle Royal

13. Fabulous Moolah Battle Royal. 

Obviously I'm not suggesting that's the order but that is a shit load of matches. Have I missed any? This is going to be a long show.
