    Tom Queally

    Tom was a late arrival with Tony Elves at Sir Henry's memorial today.Nasty gashes down one side of his boat as well as shades on , covering up what looked like a nasty shiner. Any idea if he's had a fall recently/over the weekend ?

    RIP Sir Henry

    Was a fitting tribute to a great man.Very classy , Lord Grimthorpe did a wonderful speech as did Henry's son Jake. Lady Jane afterwards , happy to thank strangers (like myself) for attending. A very fitting send-off. Tom Queally was sitting 2 rows in front of me, with some bad gashes down his...

    RIP Sir Henry

    Today I lost a friend. Not a personal friend but a pal from the day in my early punting life I decided, on scouring the old Sporting Life a trainer must be followed. H R A Cecil, Newmarket, he’ll do for me I thought And so he did from the highs of the Cauthen era to the lows of the 12 winner...

    1000 Guineas

    In fairness Hot Snap looked shot way out.Not sure if you can point the finger at Queally , she was badly out of sorts.Connections have pretty much said the same.

    1000 Guineas

    Working well at home, has a master who will have her spot on, reckon she will be closer to 2s or shorter

    Not A Brough Scott Fan Then, Henry

    Big fan of Henry myself but tend to agree. The only point is if Scott has lied to him that is not acceptable. Looking forward to reading it, turned up today.Some great pics included.

    Not A Brough Scott Fan Then, Henry

    Totally agree, its why the comeback was/has been so special, and not just with Frankel

    Brough Scott Book on Henry Cecil

    Reading on the SL Website via CP that Henry not impressed with some of the book - anyone got any info on this ? What exactly Henry is disappointed about ? Thought the pair were big friends.

    Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2012

    Absolutely no idea why Camelot was priced at 9/4 - staggering price. Lay all day long. Just really confimed again today what we all knew - Shockingly average bunch of 3 year olds this year and the Ballydoyle colt as ever overhyped - It was good for racing there was no Triple Crown , the history...

    Frankel

    What planet are you on ?

    Frankel

    Cirrus is a decent horse in his own right , but Frankel is in a totally different league. He won't get near him in 2 weeks time, ground won't be a factor either...

    Buick

    Frankel and the International Stakes

    as ever the >5 lengths market will be the one. Could not believe Hills went Evens for that for the Juddmonte..buying money..

    Frankel and the International Stakes

    Just a very small chance of the Arc..If he hacks up at York, what oppo outside of Camelot turning up would there be to beat in the planned Ascot swansong ? Would love to see him finish in Paris, but very bery unlikely. The owner is the only one who could change that, as HRAC not a big fan of...

    Queally

    Decent ride on Timepiece, gave her every chance, without The Fugue turn of foot would have nicked that from the front.

    Frankel and the International Stakes

    Be again looking at the lengths market - >5 again for me. Queally won't mess around, once he pushes the button, just a question of riding him out to the finish.

    Irish oaks

    What a great ride from Buick. Totally outpaced at the 3 marker, must have realised he still had some horse under him and attacked again on the outside. Think she could be a major player now in the St Leger. Buick , class and style reminds of a young Steve Cauthen..

    Irish oaks

    Really hope Great Heavans and Princess Highway fight out the finish.. sick of this O'Brien "throw the kitchen sink" at every classic. Not doing the game any favours
