    Your Top 5 most memorable racing-related experiences

    1. My son (Fallon) meeting Kieren Fallon who he was named after at Pontefract races. They say don't meet your idols but he was really friendly and genuine. 2. Picking Hallo Dandy to land my first National winner in 1984. I was only 7 yrs old, had picked one out for my dad to back based on the...

    Your Top 5 most memorable racing-related experiences

    Because of Frankel or Sir Henry Cecil? I was also there that day and agree it was emotional. The moment I saw Henry Cecil come into the parade ring I knew he was really ill, had deteriorated rapidly and would not be with us for much longer. I felt physically sick seeing him looking so frail and...

    Talking Horses Ten To Follow Competition 2015/2016

    Thanks very much for running this, always look forward to a TTF competition. It's the W.P Mullins appreciation society for most of my picks. If he has a bad season or gets a bug in the yard I'm buggered. :) Team A Djakadam Don Poli Douvan Faugheen Long Dog Nichols Canyon Un De Sceaux Vautour...

    Diamond jubilee sprint

    Cheers for that. 16-1 looks huge and when he won at York over 5f he looked like a ball of speed. O'Meara's assistant, Jason was stood by the side of the parade ring watching the race. My mate who is in the Direct Racing syndicate spoke to him and said "he seems a bit of a short price doesn't...

    Diamond jubilee sprint

    I'm not sure what the link was to originally, leads me to latest updates on Royal Ascot when I click it? (Current story is about Make Believe and Peslier) I am also a fan of G Force and although most seem to think he's better over 6f I think he has a chance in the Kings Stand too. I wonder if...

    What are you backing Today?

    The Twisler - 2.10pm Doncaster - 1pt WIN 9-1 Bet365 I've got this race down to about 3 runners. The fav Stormin Tom has had a run this season and won last time out, staying on over 10f but that was a crappy class 6 race at Nottingham on good to firm and its soft at Donny. Magic Circle is the 2nd...

    What are you backing Today?

    Well done with Ryeollian, a decent looking sort that I saw in the flesh on a yard visit to David O'Mearas. Had a patch of ringworm on his neck at the time and hadn't been racing. (I think there is a picture in the photos section)

    Where do we go from here...

    Probably too far for you to travel but there is a monthly meeting in Leeds (Pudsey Liberal Club), first Tuesday of every month. They have jockeys, trainers etc visit each month and arrange some trips to York and have a Cheltenham Preview every year. My membership has just expired. What would it...

    Glastonbury

    I saw Foo Fighters at the MK Bowl and they were very good live, some of their older stuff is really good. I'd rather jab red hot pokers in my eyes than watch Kanye West, despicable cretin.

    Films

    I saw the new Avengers film last night, was a bit meh, nothing you haven't seen before and all a bit Michael Bay for me, effects and fight scenes with little plot or substance. In comparison I saw Child 44 the week before and thought it was really good, Tom Hardy again proving why he's one of...

    What Are You Listening To Now?

    I went to see Catfish and the bottlemen at Leeds the other week, few technical problems at the start but really good gig. Atmosphere was electric, massive buzz about this band. Really catchy songs and they seem really down to earth in the interviews I've seen, including a really good one with...

    Aintree 2015

    It will be interesting to see how Beltor runs back on a flat track. I backed All Yours at Kempton and Cheltenham and of course left the bloody thing alone today and backed Devilment instead. Form franked today and they seemed to think a lot of Beltor.
