Bill Mott has a runner with Johnnyv on board; victory would be some achievement for USA; Trump might even waive tariffs should they succeed.

Norton bit also called a Citation Bit, named after American Triple Crown winner 1948. It is for hard pulling horses to help them settle. Lugging bit is help prevent horses hanging off a straight line. Cross nose bands are to help settle hard pullers. (Grackle was 1931 Grand National winner so...

Filly just leased so not too costly , at least not yet.

Great news Jinny. Pity I didn't know you were on the market as we ( Whitegrass Synd) have a Mahler half sister to Cracking Rhapsody to go p2p route with a view to harrowing what Straight Home ploughed; same Townend connections for phase 1 of the adventure. Form got a wee boost at Del Mar last...

Better more reliable horse, that's all.

We had a visit to Closutton Irish Oaks Day 2023. I swear no horse ran up the Curragh as fast as Wpm's worked that morning. Ebor winner that couldn't go to Oz owing to a screw. Fast ground up his alley, was hard, hard fit and ridden for luck. Le Paillon won a Arc in 1947 after placing in...

Of all the O'Brien family Donacha is made of different stuff. He has a confidence, movie star looks and can the best out of a horse. His win on Apache Gold for us 10 years ago at Cork was a thing of beauty. Like Maureen , this filly jumped off the page at me with Oisin riding. No bet ,however .

Edgt Team 1 Replace Caldwell Potter with Romeo Coolio please . Many thanks.

Another second; how bad . At least Gary O'Brien and Jane Mangan gave him the thumbs up after the race for consistency; a 4.5 k purchase to run up a 205k purchase is no bad thing. Frustrating , yes.

Race being named in memory of Edward O'Grady, a man synonymous with Cheltenham for years. A nice touch.

Back again to Down Royal Friday for another Bumper 4.20 with Hopeful Hero. Just the five runners , a duo of Gordon p2p winners, one from A J Martin and one from Crawford's academy. Ground looks ideal once the rain stays away . Lots of top amateurs rang up for the ride but Tom remains loyal to...

The new series of Champions: Full Gallop has missed/ignored quite possibly the best performance from last season; Sir Gino's win at Kempton Dec 26 from episode 2. Given the brouhaha about Constitution Hill , his prep and "that gallop " , to give his galloping companion no mention absolutely...

Not so sure one of the syndicate organisers enjoyed either win all that much....

Unlucky this year methinks. One good result this year and he was made. Possibly the best example of a top class horse needing a top class jockey in recent times.

Half the price now; they obviously don't log in here.

Quote from Irish Field , the words of trainer Peter Fahey " Paul has been a lucky owner, but knows more about racing than any of us " You have been told.

Three Card Brag 2.20 Chel Sat 12/1 or so should be in any ew combi imo.

Heavy ground always a problem that may not be worth the effort. Three of the five runners declared so 60% a solid B.

He had proper presence with a wild mane like something off the prairie; a real man of a horse. Consistent as anything seen on a racecourse if not the highest rated.
