Meanwhile, Carlisle racecourse has done away with separate facilities for their members. Although it's my nearest track I haven't been for a few years, mainly because it's full of pissheads with no interest in racing. However it seems they see this as the way forward...

Magnier was apparently bidding on the Nayef half brother to Fantasia today. Is the cold war over?

Spacious retired. Just a shame she never did get her Group One.

Richard Hughes booked to ride Theology putting him out of the running for the Snow Fairy ride.

I'd like to see them all with a few jumps in front of them although whether there'd be as many available to ride as there were today I'm not so sure.

Has anyone heard if we're likely to see Elusive Pimpernel again?
