How could anyone not back D'Argent (when we publish the Zombies and Rod Argent) with a trainer called King? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I've only had a quick glance through the runners, and the one that stood out for me was Simon ... which probably means it'll fall at the first. I quite fancy Fresh Winter in the preceding race. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I came second with King John's Castle! Fat lot of good - I never back each way. Hey, the winning jockey spent 6 months inside. If I'd known that, I'd have backed Comply Or Die! Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

What a lovely piece of classical music! Used every year for the National on the Beeb! Carl Davis 'Champions' Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Well spotted Hoss; I thought "how wonderful" every time the Beeb played it (which they did several times). Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I have always wondered (when I hear this piece of music), why it hasn't been made into a classical track - with a vocal from someone such as Katherine Jenkins, Sarah Brightman etc....

Surely it would have great interest, with the Millions of World-wide viewers who hear it every year!

Thoughts JK?

Do you think adding a vocal spoil it as a piece of classical music??

EXACTLY the same as me JK - i backed King Johns Castle and didn't do it each way! That on top of an FA Cup semi final defeat!!!! Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Well, it does seem I am 24 years too late with this.... Shirley Bassey released a version of 'Sometimes' way back in 1984 as her new single. Still...., a 'newer' version from someone such as Il Divo or Katherine Jenkins could be a huge hit!

Yes, it's a beautiful piece. Inspired by the wonderful story of Bob Champion and Aldaniti. Winning the National after Bob recovered from cancer, and Aldaniti a broken leg. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
