All down to you guys, amazing how so many people have been active here so long
Although I haven’t posted so much I have been a member since 26 June 2008 (18) years and don’t think there was a day that I haven’t been online reading. There is no forum or anything like abc ,over the years I have noticed some important topics get reported here before other sites like sporting post etc

I've been reading almost every day since 08 I only made an account and started posting a couple years ago
Congrats Bob & Dave, the one outlet for opinions to be shared without fear or favour 👏👏👏
Awesome job 👌👌👌
Congratulations ABC, really enjoy it every day to come on and see other opinions on a whole range of topics
Was chatting today about how many site legends have passed away.. Guys like Mac, Dave, Sylvester, Zoro, Fingers, Muhtiman, Doyen and a few others are 20 + years come September I'm not 20 years until February, Bayern you are over 14 years
Well done to ABC and all the contributors for keeping the site alive. As a matter of interest, besides Dave, Bob and probably Pirhobeta, how many original members are still active contributors - understand some have passed on, emigrated, etc.

Hi Durbs
Mac still active on the ABC whatsapp group
Posts about Irish racing 😉
Scotia and Chris started the forum in the Betfair Forum concept style... Chris moved on and started Good For The Game a sports betting website.. Check it out https://goodforthegame.co.za
Just a question, the site was started by whom?, the original members, you were all racing friends and decided to start/join the site and from (say) an original membership of say 10 did you advertise or just grew by word of mouth with other racing enthusiasts?
Hey Durbs, it's great to know that someone was thinking about me after all this time. And thank you Dave for alluding me to Durbs' post. I was thrilled that Udinese won the friendly triangular tournament with Forest and Barcelona, but less thrilled that Forest came last! My punt today is Zaydann to run in the first three in the Juddmonte. Now that I am motivated, I shall chirp on the blog once again. See you then.
