Or not discharged …

Heavens it is 10 years since Sprinter Sacre's comeback win - he would lap this lot .

Says a lot about state of chasing in this country - the race is worth almost exactly the same as the Thyestes but look at the fields in comparison .

Well he was injured in the Queen Anne .

Immensely talented but clearly flawed but that Lockinge win will stay in the memory . RIP mercurial one .

Del Mar - It’s a joke track . Like reopening Ally Pally and running Champions Day there.

Now when is his bankruptcy discharged ? And might he then pop up here again ?

I would to start : 1 Improve the LIncoln meeting - more prize money - bring back the Doncaster Town Plate, Batthyany Handicap and the Doncaster Shield . Make the Doncaster Mile a Group race 2 Race on turf at Kempton when they are already watering it - in April and September - bring back the...
