Someone I worked with at the time had the occasional inside bit of info and gave both RDT and Dr Devious for the Derby well in advance. Remember screaming Lester home listening to it in the car for RDT. Seemed he came from nowhere or just bad commentary!

It was burnt to a cinder!

Tolkien was on one of the BBC channels last night - 2019 film. Missed the beginning and not a fan of the books ( or films) but nothing else to watch so stuck with it. Hoult nice enough but can't really carry a film as main actor but fascinating story, the war scenes down well and Sir Derek in it...

The what I call Paddy Power meeting is November- October's meeting used to clash/usually to clashes with 'Champions day'.

Been very breezy here with bright sunshine all day here so may take the deluge better than could be expected. My 3 times a year racing friend who's supposed to be coming, aside from not feeling well this week, has already picked her spot at a bar. Told her she'll be on her own most of the day!

Real shame not going to be Ascot as would have got softer ground plus I wanted to see him again! Never to be seen or heard of again if going out there :(

Ben Wishaw is off the chart in this and I don't usually rate him.

Maybe but his P2P wont affect his rating would it? ( Forgice my ignorance if the case) And he's not running great in those either. I don't think he's a chaser either to be honest. I also think he'd be better over shorter. The sire doesn't get 3 milers. I know he won over that distance but...

Ronald Pump been sent P2P - at 10????

She walked away for her mental health, not because she'd had a long career etc, she never actually said she was retirng as he did. Might have known with him though, his ego wouldn't be able to cope. He has enough connections that a visa would not have been a lengthy issue. or problem at all...

Tend to agree Luke. Can't see that any of the changes, other than removing the parade which I agree is plus, will actually make that much difference to the rate of fatalities or injuries. I think a shorter run to the first is actually a negative. Think they get there far too quickly after the...

Westover retired after picking up an injury in the Arc

This is exactly the issue with him 'cos he'd made his mind up before he sat on it he wasn't going to try. Has more excused lined up than my muppet eats stud muffins, and none of them anything to do with his riding.

I remember Pauline's Quirkes where she had the very pretty Flintlock group on. ( REALLY showing my age! )

Aide from Jinnyj's comments, which I agree with, my main issue with him is that he has not been honest for at least 20 years. I worked with the organisation when he was their stable jockey 20 years ago and none of them liked him because the rot had set in. I've posted couple of examples on here...

Marsha died Prescott just said?

I think this is a poor renewal - one of the races of the year usually where all the best across a wide range come together and anything can happen. I love Hukum, would love him to get this. I'm sure they have said he's not ground dependent but my impression of him, and probably wildly wrong, is...

Excsue me for having an opinon. if someone has 'lived' with trauma for years and not accused their attacker, why suddenly they feel the need to? How long does someone take to make a decision? If someone murdered your sister and only you knew it, you're going to keep quiet about it? I think...

Wondering why Niarchos using Goffs and not Tatts for dispersal?

I am not sure I agree with a time limit on crimes being investigated - a girl I was at school with who was murdered in 1987, her killer was identified only last year through DNA left on her clothing. A serial convicted rapist and molester and who should never have been allowed out after crime...
