Every year I look for the word ‘quickened’ in the race descriptions of all the guineas runners and I’m pretty sure I’ve only seen that mentioned about him and Joseph’s horse. The fact that he’s out of a horse that I backed for the Guineas oh so many years ago means I’ll be cheering him on, even...

Do those numbers next to the trainers name on the racecard mean runs after wind surgery?

Living dangerously today. Backed the two horses in the 3.40 that RR.(well one of them agreed to race but not to jump!)Dollar Value gave me a great run for my money. annoyingly finished 6th and WH are only paying first 5 today. Really having fun this week. Never thought I’d say that about...

What happened at the start? Sounded like a compete mess to me.

Thankfully when it was obvious she wouldn’t run I doubled up on Jazzaway.

I actually fancied Getaway Gorgeous more than Jazzaway yesterday so dare I ask if she’s likely to run on Saturday?

Does anyone remember which horse it was that won a race twice, first time when it’s mum was in foal with it and then when it actually won the same race itself?

How many times has a mare in foal won!

Unlucky Marb.....so close...

Oh I do hope so!

So Minella Indo isn’t running (bruised foot).I was only thinking today how much the GC takes out of it’s winners and wondering what sort of race he might run so it might be for the best.

He would have won if he had run though.....

Early foal. Won first time out. Won over 7f. Not entered over further than 8f.Lots of ticks for me.

Phil Kirby has gone to a lot of trouble to send Topville Ben over to France for a hurdle race today. Not sure what the long term plan for him is but I’ll be watching with interest and have had a little ew on at 9/1.

I’ve just looked at a rerun of the race and Kitty’s Light seemed to be drifting right on the run in. Ok I know Enrilo did veer sharply to the left as well. Potterman was running straight.

Would Harry Skelton have kept the horse straight at the end if he’d known him better? Just something that crossed mind as I was walking the dog.

Not a very satisfactory result. How many times has it happened in the race now? What a horse Kitty’s Light is. Are there many more Nathaniels over jumps?

There was one last night where Aisling Bea (who I love) switched places with Rachael Riley who then spoke with an Irish accent. I’m still chuckling over it!

There are some programmes that I make a point of watching when they’re on because I can’t get catchup for some channels and wouldn’t dream of missing. But there are others that, when I’m channel hopping I’ll continue to watch and really enjoy but generally will not go out of my way to watch. QI...
