He finished tired in the Topham when he ran in it.

Something has been bothering me since Saturday. Have we reached a situation in the National whereby it is so important that any injured horse must be taken away in an ambulance in circumstances where it would be better for it to be pts on the track. I know everything possible must be done to...

Oh no. Really sad to hear this.

Not when you add salt and vinegar to the water to stop the eggs cracking. Mind you I do use it to kill the moss that grows on the patio.

I really fancied Percival Legallois. However, as I mentioned on here, it bothered me that he’d fallen twice and unseated once. I also read on the OLBG stats page that Mark Walsh didn’t have the best of records in the race and that Gavin Cromwell didn’t seem to have much experience of training...

That’s just what I’ve been thinking. I’m worried about the effect it will have on racing over here. I guess it all started when Graham Wylie moved his horses to Mullins after Howard lost his licence. I felt a bit aggrieved at that because with Ferdy Murphy gone ( or did he leave afterwards?)...

Woke up this morning realising that I wanted Hewick to win so much and am almost scared to watch the race because of it. I’ll be screaming the house down if he’s in contention at the last.

Well fancied by a lot of people and is said to be an exceptionally good jumper. I just get these ideas in my head that I can’t shift but that was well and truly proved wrong when a 7 year old won! I still haven’t got over that.And I didn’t back Ballabrigs because of his breeding. I mean, as if...

I keep seeing Strong Gale in Three Card Brags pedigree and can’t believe that he’ll stay that far. He’ll probably win by a mile!

I kept thinking is this what’s going to happen in the National with Kandoo Kid? It’s vital he gets a good position at the start. Kept having memories of Suny Bay taking the inner route in the National.

“An old wives tale explains warts coming from touching frogs or putting your hand into the water used to boil eggs. It is now known that warts come from a human papilloma virus, which is NOT found in either frogs or hard-boiled egg water!” I’m still not prepared (as an old wife) to risk it…

Aim for the National. And then keep on going…

Maybe it’s because the McCain runners have a little bit of Red Rums hair attached to their headgear…

Does the times table song work? How do singers remember all the words?

From Folk on Foot ( if the link works)

Clem Burke is amazing. Very underrated imo. He also sets himself as a role model for young musicians, keeps himself supremely fit. My grandson is a drummer and I’ve told him to model himself on Clem ( and not to do drum solos because they’re soooo boring,

Can’t just back a couple imo. Nothing more dispiriting than to get towards the end of the race and not have any horses running for you! Look at Corach Rambler last year. Who’d’ve thought he wouldn’t at least get placed. I’m currently pretty keen on Perceval Legallois but concerned that he’s had...

You mean decide that someone else convicted for a crime can become president?

Oh b****r. And for once I was trying to be an optimist…

I had a teacher friend who taught a couple of the girls from Bananarama and had said at the time that they would never achieve anything with their lives
