I don’t know if I can face listening to that yet. I may try in a few weeks time.

Thanks for that. Bob is a bit of a cliff horse of mine. He was mentioned in my jumping prospects book which I haven’t got with me at the moment so I’d forgotten about him. I do have a soft spot for The Young Master, though, and would love him to win. Admirable horse.

I guess I was referring more to those of us that were happily watching him eat his food than the person who owned him. Good point, though.

Ballyoptics owner is putting lots of pictures on Facebook of him in retirement with Ballyfitz. She apologised for posting a video of him eating his tea saying she hopes she isn’t boring people but I, along with many others, have been happily watching him munching his tea. And people accuse...

So could a jockey fail a drugs test because of touching something that a user had also touched? The tests are rather sensitive aren’t they?

Is it partly to do with not being able to eat much due to weight problems.

Oh how awful. My condolences to her family.

I can’t quite get my head round how upset I am about this: was absolutely shocked when it came on the news yesterday. Peaky Blinders is very dear to my heart as my dads family came from the area around The Garrison and it was their pub. Black Patch Park where the gypsies lived was my playground...

Oh dear. I just read this on Facebook and thought someone had posted an old update. I do hope it is just a normal part of her treatment.

I saw it when it was on, I think, Ch4 a few years back, but only saw one episode. It did look good.

Some of my favourite horses in that race. Jardine is very good at freshening new horses up. And, of course, my local trainer John Mackie sends one up, too. I was wondering if, with racing being cancelled on Saturday, it would give an advantage to the northern horses, assuming that the southern...

Just had a bet on Teruntum Star because I always back him and the jockey just fell off...

I had a quick look at the 2000gns card but can’t find any dark horses. I did have a bet on one though. Royal Air Force.

He’s fine Outsider. Thanks for asking.

I used to back her rides for Shark but can’t believe it was 10 years ago! I don’t know where the time goes.

Also, jockeys trainers having winners on their birthday eg Paddy Brennan today....

Thanks. That was nice surprise when I came back from the beach and logged on!

Maybe your boss was quite canny barjon. I’m sure I used to be told the third horse down in a handicap was a likely winner and I bet the third race of the day would most likely be a handicap. WHill radio have an ongoing theory about grey number 5’s that do have an uncanny knack of winning.

Many Clouds was still technically a 7 year old when he won I suppose. I know I felt at the time that Hedgehunter just needed another year to mature after he fell in his first National. It just seems like a different race now.

I thought they’d started walking horses back through the water sprays that they use for eventers? Or did they decide that wasn’t necessary if the race was ran later? I, too felt worried for the horse but had forgotten about it till I saw a picture of him today looking very tired. I wish I still...
