    The Great Man

    I’ve no doubt you’d try, as have countless others, but expect you’d meet the same fate in the end.

    The Great Man

    It’s nigh on impossible to frame a law in a way that can’t be twisted to defeat its objective in some way. On the other hand everyone knows what is the spirit of the law and what it is intended to achieve. Thus, the problem becomes a moral one. Not enough people prepared to abide by the...

    The Great Man

    Denise Coates tarred with the same brush - hardly, she’s the one who sits put and pays tax regardless. Denise Coates, founder of Bet365, is consistently ranked as one of the UK's highest taxpayers, with her family's tax liability estimated at £375.9m in the 2024 Times Tax List. Her...

    Can Zodiac Gallop Help Identify Promising Racehorses?

    Since race horses are given the same birthday their breeding to take maximum advantage of that will mean they will mostly be born under the same couple of Zodiac signs.. For what good that does them.

    2026 Cheltenham Supreme Novices Hurdle (Grade 1) 4yo+ : Prize Money £84405.00 : Distance 2m 87y

    Always been good to me, but looks unusually competitive this year. They’ll probably finish strung out like the washing to prove me wrong. I’ll be going with Old Park Star.

    The Great Man

    “would you sleep with me for a million pounds?” he asked “Er, yes I think so” she replied “How about for a fiver then” he said “ you must be joking, what do you think I am” she said. “ we all know what your are, madam, we’re just haggling about the price”

    My notebook runners

    Laguna Beach ran comfortably (apparently) in the leading group until push came to shove when he disappeared from view very quickly and was allowed to coast to a standstill. That was reflected in the price which drifted to 18/1 and Class 1 looks a step too far. Captain Bellamy was a non-runner...

    The 2026 Imperial Cup Handicap Hurdle

    So does that mean if it opened at 11/1 and then drifted to 16/1 you’d leap in? To me that’d be a death knell. On the other hand if it opened at 16/1 and kept on shortening through 11/1 and shorter I’d be in and adding all the way (taking worse and worse “value”). Or, if you left your 12/1 alone...
