Ahem. Monsignor has met with a minor setback, but Mark Pitman thinks he might be back after Christmas. Shut up - it's tradition. :whistle:

He agreed to paint the horse green, which makes him slightly less of a c@nt than Paddy Power. No sanctions for the latter, of course...

Graham Goode. Discuss, with annotations.

Chaumiere is a bit of a blast from the past - turned out to be a C&D specialist, winning 2 Magnet Cups for Robert Williams and owner Colin Booth. Happy days (unless you'd backed Cherry Hill in the Glasgow Stakes, and didn't want to be reminded of it!!).

I recall him trying to win by the narrowest possible margin, and getting it horribly wrong on a few occasions, losing the Cheshire Oaks on the superbly-bred Bashayer and an infamous Lingfield maiden when the formbook comment read "always going well, hard held final 3f, headed post". That came on...

He only had 10 horses running in his silks last season, havinf scaled back significantly in recent times. St Killian's Run has been put down, Ashkazar, Swing Bill, Poker de Sivola and The Package are approaching retirement, leaving only Champion Bumper also-ran Doctor Harper and the two...

You're a man with a great memory, so you may recall this better than I do. Elementary was once entered in a handicap at the Galway Festival in which there was no upper limit, either in terms of rating or weight to be carried. It wasn't a feature event, and his participation would have made the...

The biggest "one job" disaster since Phil Tippett in Jurassic Park. :ninja:

Highlight of the card was Mark Johnston's explanation to the stewards of the improved performance of Overstep in winning the first. They received a report from the trainer "stating that he could not say that there had been an improvement in form as it was a small field and the favourite may have...

Quite.

Smith clearly in sh*t over this, but an initial (and ill-advised) statement from the BHA Press Office that the dead-heat was called correctly also means he's not the one with questions to answer. A can of worms. I've asked the BHA to look at 2 other "Dave Smith Specials", but doubt whether I'll...

Heads should roll.

My advisory balloon tells me that all the mugs will be backing Coastal Passage at Thirsk tonight, before the real players lay it heavily before the off. When it gets stuffed, connections will presumably claim it hadn't recovered from the colic which was the official reason for it being withdrawn...

No ****, Sherlock.

I look forward to the Planetoid update.

Well done again. Turning into a nice weekend!

Cracking mare, and a sad loss. Hope the foal does well.

Well done Roddy - a mighty performance.
