That's contradicted by Ardross' post above. If it is so easy for C4 to get out of it on this basis, why on earth are they arguing about whether he was appealing to viewers or not? That would be irrelevant, right?

Again, didn't the pre-trial hearing answer those questions? From: http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jun/28/victory-john-mccririck-ageism-channel-4 Surely it wouldn't have got this far if the fundamentals of the case were still in doubt? So C4 will have to show that they had good cause to...

Sadly for reet's pacemaking conspiracy theories, no Camelot.

Hasn't the question of whether or not it constitutes a dismissal not been settled? Isn't that what the pre-trial hearing that he won was partly about? Have to agree with EC - think C4 are screwed here, even though I doubt his age had much to do with the decision.

He found that British security forces were colluding with terrorists to murder people.

Took a bad step crossing the road on the backstraight, lost his action, was looked after.

Gold Ship? Nice shot.

Is Gentildonna still in training? Would be nice to see her come close to emulating that Japan Cup win where she seems to have been rated miles ahead of anything else she's done. Ran well in Dubai but she couldn't land a blow on St Nicholas Abbey who is well exposed.

Yup: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Greyhound+betting+fraudster+sentenced%3B+180+hours'+community+service...-a060658013

I wonder what the outcome was?

August 25th 1998 :)

The official handicappers would agree with you on Trading Leather and Al Kazeem (and to an extent Parish Hall), Euro. (I'm not sure that's a good thing!) No way has The Fugue run below form to win an Irish Champion against those horses, though.

Suny added on the fillies' allowance. I think Timeform give 1lb extra than the official WFA for the Arc though?

For the Irish Champion, Timeform went (previous bests in parentheses): 128 The Fugue (126 Yorkshire Oaks '13, 120 Yorkshire Oaks '12) 128 Al Kazeem (128 Eclipse, 127 Tattersalls & Prince of Wales's) 124 Trading Leather (124 Juddmonte, 122 Irish Derby & King George) 115 Parish Hall (117...

Orfevre crashes through the rails taking Kizuna with him as Ruler Of The World and Leading Light zip past to complete a Ballydoyle 1-2. Gamla Stan spontaneously combusts. 3rd placed Novellist joins Godolphin. Next seen in a conditions race at Salisbury in 2015.

Yup, and it turns out its not even on Sky's basic package. From the horse's mouth: http://www.attheraces.com/article.aspx?hlid=208928

It's "free" on Sky but you still have to sign up to Sky's basic package.

Price-fixing, collusion... anyone got the OFT's number?

The long boring brute force way that makes you understand it: Write out all the possible ways that Trump can win a best-of-9 match. For example: Win 5-0: W W W W W = 0.63 * 0.63 * 0.63 * 0.63 * 0.63 = 0.0992436543 Win 5-1: L W W W W W = 0.37 * 0.63 * 0.63 * 0.63 * 0.63 * 0.63 =...

Sadly reminiscent of Barbaro. I remember there was a couple on here (Shadow Leader and Songsheet, I think? I'd have to go back to be sure) who thought they went too far with him and he should have been put to sleep long before he was. I disagreed with them at the time but looking back it was...
