Nurburgring today at Leopardstown, according to RTE news. It looked a rotten fall

Patrick's RP article earlier this week states how they missed November with all the rain, haven't had a Bumper winner in Ireland since mid October and have 18 to start off over these days in Bumpers, today's runner being one of the best of them. Now I have given them the kiss of death they...

Paul Kavanagh. Irish conditional who was killed in a motor accident in Co Limerick Christmas eve. Rode out for Enda Bolger and well supported by Michael Winters, he will be missed by all who knew him. All Irish jockeys wore black armbands riding today in his memory.

Course record apparently. 2 noses and a neck or so. Bad judges of pace ?

Totally; had visions of the Captain Cee Bee fall when he bobbled after the last. Delighted for all.

It happens some horse every year there; whatever the reason. May be after effects of Punchestown race.

Paul just lost balance for a stride or two, whatever happened him. Banbridge ; Irish Panther DOH!!!!

Just hoping against hope with a little blind faith.

250 ew Irish Panther Arkle 50/1 Unibet

Pied Piper 50/1 Paddy Power Chase Sat. One of those that always turns up with his A game in big field handicaps, hurdles or chases. The price seems to me an ew gift.

What are the chances of a 1987 blow out when Dessie and Beau Ranger went too quick and Nupsala picked them off at 16/1. I can see Banbridge doing similar , in my dreams at least ! Course form has huge value here as Truncheon suggests. Great race whatever happens.

See you hopefully there, An Capall. I have another subject for your inquisitive pen, a man who witnessed Arkle's 3 Gold Cups wins on course. Racing either Sat/Sun or Sun/Mon.

Best wishes all. It may be the season of good will but Alley Bar were revelling in anticipation of another inhouse Ml Winters double Saturday with Aleish Lass and River Vale. Better than Santa, anticipation wise at least.

That about sums it up Len. Golden Ace is consistent, reliable and jumps like a hurdler should. A lot of the others, including Sir Gino don't or haven't recently.

Mahler (21), Coolmore NH sire that stood at The Beeches Stud. Sire of The Real Whacker, The Big Dog, Ornua and the sale topper in November Dawn Of Light. Thankfully Whitegrass syndicate have a lease on a Mahler half sister to Cracking Rhapsody to remember him by.

Plenty to like about Colonel Mustard; jockey and trainer not too well known across the water adds to the price being generous

Blue Bresil (20) at Glenview Stud. Sire of Constitution Hill, Royal Pagaille, Mick's Jazz among others , he was the go to stallion when CH did his thing. Relations with the horse cooled off tis year with some horse folk saying they do not fulfil early promise. His first Irish crop were 4yos...

Michael back on the double at Naas today. River Veale an ex Hemmings horse that remained in the stable running in the Alley Bar silks ( the greatest bar in Ireland). The Harzand filly will be okay also. Delighted for all concerned.

Miracle of miracles; both my Dark horses have now managed to win. Think I should retire while I'm ahead of myself !

Khaadem is one of those prices this weekend in Sha Tin HKsprint. The Lion In Winter is 16/1 for the HK mile. Juicy prospect for an ew double methinks. Pity I just missed Mags Mullins' Cheltenham winner to fund it....
