I think that Starmer (and Charles) have shown political dexterity by inviting Zelensky to meet the king today. Given Trump's awe of the monarchy, it shows him like nothing else where our support lies. Starmer's body language and actions in Downing Street yesterday were also spot on. As a by the...

Just sugar normally but, for special, with banana and either honey or cointreau, topped with ice cream.

Not really fair to call out the trainer over a JP horse's race planning.

We have a tipster competition based on our 'Jolly Boys at Cheltenham' group. Essentially runs from October to the Imperial Hurdle and involves virtual bets on races on terrestrial TV. It means that I look through the weekend races and potentially have a competition bet on 2 or 3 races which is...

Joyeuse was 5/2F and Wodhooh was 10/1. Up to the individual to draw conclusions.

I don't think that it can be answered in general terms because it tends to be an individual circumstance based on a long term plan and most people would consider the form in its entirety. However for me, in breeding terms, winning a G! would generally be better than coming second in another one...

Apparently quite soft today but mainly dry for the next week to ten days.

Wodhooh +11 since beating Joyeuse in December while Joyeuse is +19.

Every Tom, Dick and Gordon has had their say but not a peep from the O'Learys. I have a vested interest but I still think that they are inclined towards the Mares if Constitution Hill stays fit. If they do go that way, there should be no criticism as it's been the publicised plan all season.

In NH racing, Class 1 races are Grades 1, 2 and 3 plus Listed and some top handicaps like the National. Has caused confusion in the past where some race conditions have penalties based on Class 1 wins rather than Grade 1.

Great call. Didn't have a bet but gave him a cheer for you.

Would you be worried about Rubaud getting the trip? Not particularly bred for it.

Bert Jansch was a folk hero at my youth club in the mid 60s. I saw him in concert at Manchester Free Trade Hall within 2 months of starting at university on a bill that included a young Al Stewart, John Renbourn and the Incredible String Band. He was due to be there again a few months later but...

Can't imagine why anyone would give a flying ferret until it becomes compulsory.

No. I'd stopped backing my own runners by then. However, a few from my local did so I didn't buy any beers that night.

His son, Gordon, was a decent amateur rider. He won on our Sam Shorrock 3 or 4 times, once at 66/1 beating the 10/11 favourite in a 6 horse field. The bookies cheers echoed around the Towcester.

An Audience With Jasper Carrott was first broadcast in 1978. I have a vague (and possibly incorrect) memory of it being on a Friday or Saturday night and watching it with a takeaway after a couple(!) of pints.

This and Don't Turn Around both among the 45s that I've just looked through.
