And they’d tell you the flat is boring.

Seems to be a few subs on the other team. I’m happy to have a go if it gets someone else some action too. No problem if not.

Put me in as a reserve if you’re really stuck!

An enjoyable weekend, arguably better than anticipated. Leopardstown definitely struck lucky with the weather which always helps the day. Magical deserved her day in the big one, with an honourable mention for Deirdre who should have got second. Laurens blew out in the Matron and while there was...

They've picked up on a number of the issues that I commented on from the first day, but this remains the biggest issue. Vast swathes of near empty facilities up top, with the majority packed in at the bottom. On Saturday, with only a smidge of light drizzle it was coming in on top of us. Lovely...

A cracking renewal. Let's hope they've sorted out some of the off track issues for what should be a decent crowd. CURRAGH, 25-MAY-19 Listing generated on 23-May-19 at 11:27 (15:35) 123E Tattersalls Irish 2,000 Guineas (Group1) - 1m [MAX 27] No Draw Horse Trainer Rider 1 8 Decrypt (GB)(105)...

Is Gosden considering TDH for this? Skybet would suggest so ....

I went on opening day. Looks great and the track is as beautiful as ever. BUT. Surely it's too small. Or at least if you're a pleb. Three levels, 2 for the corporates etc and one for Joe Soap on the bottom level. Decent-ish crowd there and it could just about cope, but what about the bigger...

It was obvious that Saxon Warrior was hanging badly during the race. I thought maybe he'd fallen out of love with it, but the injury made sense in hindsight. I think tedious is a touch harsh. If he'd said nothing when asked and then it leaked via a drift for the QEII on the exchanges, he'd have...

The fact that Found is being mentioned as a possible for the CS suggests this may be a runner. Probably a lot depends on the ground too. Interesting to note that it was soft on Saturday but the inner track (to be used for the CS only) was reported yesterday as being good to firm, firm in...

Fascinating Rock out of the Champion. Still a cracking field, but nonetheless a big loss.

And here we go again. Caravaggio likely to be long odds on but...... the Phoenix really is a graveyard for Coventry winners. Even O'Brien with his incredible record in it (14/18) has seen 3 of his 4 reverses with Coventry winners: HTN, Power and War Command. Add in the likes of Three Valleys...

Having been to the Arc at Longchamp quite a few times, I'm keen to sample Chantilly this year. If anyone has been racing there before, any tips would be most appreciated. Has anyone stayed out there or is it easier just to go from Paris (Gare du Nord I believe). Anything with regard to travel to...

Port Douglas is declared for the Irish Derby this weekend.
