    Top 3 Albums

    I'd say that the top 2 are constant and the 3rd varies with my mood. On a different day I might have picked Blue or Born To Run, a Beatles album (probably A Hard Day's Night), Gaucho by Steely Dan, Hold Out by Jackson Browne or Night and Day by Joe Jackson.

    VALUE

    I exclude book builders as they use a different rationale but, by and large, I most often hear the word 'value' used by losing punters as a consolation. Of course, if you're betting to enhance your pleasure in watching a race rather than just making money, you can claim value in getting a good...

    What are you watching

    They were from Burnage about a mile and 30 years away from Oasis. I was in the same primary school class as Colin Leckenby, brother of guitarist, the late Lek.

    Energumene

    The eye test for me showed both Energumene and Jonbon as solid rather than outstanding. Both at tracks where they have good records and beating horses that they should. Encouraging and no crosses but, for me, not worthy of the flowery language in the media.

    RP - Willie Mullins top 5 trained horses

    Ratings would be biased against hurdlers and even the likes of Kemboy were rated higher than Hurricane Fly. Much like most tabloid polls, ask a stupid or unqualified question and you get stupid answers which is, of course, the point.

    Question

    I seem to remember a red button choice to have no commentary for football matches but retain the crowd noise for atmosphere. So much better than having Carragher deliberately mispronounce Gundogan.

    The Becher Chase

    I'd be more concerned about 68mph gusts of wind forecast.

    Beer prices

    There's a minimum price per unit in Scotland (and Wales) so probably more expensive there. In my local (Welsh) Tesco, 4 x 440ml cans of Poretti are £6 reduced to £4.50 with a Clubcard. 660ml bottles of San Miguel are £1.99 each. In the pub, San Miguel is £4.40 and Poretti £5 a pint.

    Connections of Beacon Edge will be delighted to have had a G1 day out and picked up over 10k in prize-money.

    Champion Hurdle Road ToThread 24/25

    I think that we all understand that handicapping elite horses is an art rather than a science because they don't usually run in handicaps so there's a certain amount of latitude. I'd be fairly confident that Lossiemouth would be competitive in a handicap off 160 and is capable of a few pounds...

    Breeding and Bloodstock Sales

    Insignificant for most people but a nice little bonus for me. Connie's 4yo Wings of Eagles half sister, The Great Nudie, has just won her first hurdle race. She was 'not sold' at 145k earlier in the year after she'd won her point so hopefully she can keep producing to enhance the family tree.

    Trump vs Harris

    We all have our own opinions of the result but this is an interesting statistical breakdown showing that the result was rather closer than the bare electoral college figures would suggest. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn5w9w160xdo
