At least one major bookmaker has greatly increased its controls on money laundering and problem gambling controls. I won't name at this point because I am considering taking it further. At the weekend i placed a low 3-figure sum in my account in order to be able to quickly access competitive...

Awful news about a 9 year old girl dying from multiple stab wounds in Boston. No not in the US but Lincolnshire! The Times stated: In 2016 figures published by the Home Office showed that Boston was the worst place for homicides in England, with a rate of 15 murder-related crimes for every...

Alcohol Free ran a superb race to win the July Cup but is she good enough to emulate the same owner's Chief Singer at Goodwood ? I am far too attached to her to make a realistic judgement.

Why do I always miss out?

Who now qualifies?

It is hard to generate a great deal of enthusiasm in current circumstances but let's make the best of it and positively look forward to a much better year in 2021.

Having followed Alpha Centauri for 2 years until her untimely demise I alighted on Albigna last year my horse to follow. Her performance when accelerating from nowhere to win at the Curragh was as exhilarating as that of the former in winning at Ascot. She never had a chance on the tight oval at...

Locking forward to this. I have long term AP bets on Albigna and Alpine Star for this at 20/1 and 33/1 respectively but due to Covid neither will run. My thinking on this is that Albigna is the best of Jessie’s brilliant crop Of fillies but needs to be ridden by someone used to riding her. If...

Forgone conclusion?

4-time Gr.1 winner & Cartier Champion 3YO filly Alpha Centauri (Mastercraftsman) with her first foal, a gorgeous colt by Galileo. Both bred by the Niarchos Family.#CoolmoreSires #HomeOfChampions #FoalFriday <article class="MediaCard customisable-border"...

Like many others we have undertaken several rounds of de-cluttering. (Oddly 75% seems to have been my stuff !). The garden is in better shape than it has been for years. All windows are sparkling clean. So now the big project- Converting some 15 years of VHS video tapes to DVD via my MAC...

Its usually informative.

Tuesday night Spurs will attempt to win in Leipzig. Any good suggestions of Cheltenham venues that serve decent food and will have screens showing the football?

In the Cheltenham Week thread I mentioned that my group go to Cheltenham on Monday and leave after racing on Friday. We leave then for various reasons but mainly because we are knackered by that time. We stay in a house in Prestbury that has 4 double bedrooms plus the capacity for up 4...

Just watching the news re quarantine for possible victims. Strikes me that if this really takes hold in UK then public events which involve large numbers from all over might be cancelled.

i've been following a couple horses that are either owned by friends or by people I know well. Standing in a saddling ring recently I was discussing a horse's chance and was told that it was very likely that it would run well because it was carrying a low weight. I gave the obvious response...

As stated elsewhere there seems to be relatively little interest in the media for the Breeders Cup this year ( Do visit the ATR micro website). In setting up a platform for discussion my only contribution is based on a reiteration of some comments I made a few weeks back. Both horses are...

Providing there is not too much more rain the Fillies Mile today should be worth watching. As as a follower of the Harrington stable I ‘adopted’ Alpha Centauri before she had run and followed her throughout her career. A fantastic journey that that came to a premature end but had rekindled my...

Surprised to see an apparent lack of interest in this meeting given the depth of knowledge of many of Irish contributors to the forum. Some good, informative races yesterday and plenty still to come. Dating back to Fred Winter/ Richard Pitman days I have sought to enhance my enjoyment of the...

A full sister to the brilliant Alpha Centauri. Blooming beautiful! https://twitter.com/coolmorestud/status/1129390758249803778?s=20
