I received a call at 12:58 today, 01/02/2026. The caller did not identify himself, but the voice was quite familiar. He mentioned the address where my daughter lives.

To quote the unidentified caller exactly: “If you keep putting things up online about me, I'll put a bullet in your head.”

Respect to you for having the cojones and the passion to say what you say.

The truth will set you free.

And hopefully get some C+%t locked up.

Slim, hopefully whoever threatened you has been swiftly sent 6 feet under or in prison

Re the 2:45 - is seven green-and-gold in one race a record? I'm not sure I've seen the pink cap before.

13:40: PHOTO FINISH BLOODY HELL

TALK THE TALK SNATCHED IT ON THE LINE!!!!!!

They are three proper novices. That was some finish.

Yeah that was a Bit of a Novices Classic

Just nailed but a tough performance from Ballyfad though. Jumped well and looked like he'd be swallowed up and he hung tough. Winner did well to get up there though.

Was on The Reverend as he is my tracker so was a bit annoyed.

 

[Frankel]

Glad the best horse won!

 

[WandererSkyLight]

is the Gold Cup going to be on ITV Tomorrow?

 

[granger]

Fine race

Three good ones

 

[Slim]

Three Grade 1 horses.

Good question. Surely it will be on ITV4 etc.

 

[WandererSkyLight]

Yeah you'd think so. Considering the card is very interesting for Cheltenham and Aintree

 

[granger]

I'd like to see the still of the finish

Must have been so miniscule

Winner is for sale.. his price now?

 

[pawras]

Both of you are right. It's better if it was my address and secondly it's complete bluster. Notice he hasn't pushed back in public on the what I've written because it's factual.

Thieving c's don't like the truth

Did he slip on some bad ground there?

For sale?

 

[granger]

For sale?

Yes, at a unmatched price to date

And now.. I guess as they shouldn't need the funds, it will be unlikely

I'm a bit lost. Why would they sell?

 

[granger]

I'm a bit lost. Why would they sell?

From A.Bromley

"There were definitely at least three big players who have enquired," he said. "A price was put on the horse and the horse hasn't been sold. It's a statement of everything has got a price, they (Munir and Souede) are trading now - Flat and jumps - and if the price was right and tempted them at certain times... but at the moment it doesn't look like he's getting sold.

Really impressive from Majborough. Maybe cheekpieces have cracked the code

 

[granger]

What a good day for Mark Walsh

Wondering how ground dependent Majborough might be or is it just to let him roll

 

[viking]

Marine Nationale hated the ground

 

[Desert Orchid]

Caught that race on TV.

They didn't seem to be kicking up much on that chase course.

Is Energumene gone? Are they eyeing up the Grand Annual with it?
