I hope the rest of the season shows what a good horse Ruling Court actually is.

I’m using an App on my iPad but I can’t access it via the browser either. I get frustrated by my technophobia

I can still use it on my home computer but not my iPad. They now seem to have banned me for life on my iPad. All the times I’ve reported racist or xenophobic comments to Facebook and they do nothing about it but I get in a mess with my passwords and I’m banned. I don’t think I was hacked but my...

Being pretty housebound these days I depend a lot on Facebook. I have it on my house computer but also on my iPad. I depend on my iPad when I’m at Mikes. A couple of days ago I got locked out of it on my iPad. On travelling home I found that it does still work on my computer so I’m scared to do...

Buick knew he had a horse that could accelerate when he pressed the button.Which is why I always scour previous races for ‘quickened’. I’d assume that’s why he chose him over his stable mate, too.

I’ve only just looked at the race and Ruling Court is the only one that has the magic word ‘ quickened’ in a race description so he’s my pick. Not much of a price for a 3 pence ew punter, though.

I had no idea they were all related.

I’ll be watching the race from behind the sofa…

I just keep thinking that, as he took the trouble to tell us how ill he was he would also have asked someone to keep us informed, whatever the outcome.

Mind you, I thought he was going to do a Dayjur at that road!

Wasn’t he running a mighty race at Cheltenham a few years ago before either falling or being brought down? One of those horses that will never get the recognition they deserve ie any good race ran is deemed to be a bit of a fluke and not because he’s tried his heart out.

In Northumberland we have the ancient Chillingham cattle, who are truly wild. What I always wonder ( and the same applies to the American Buffalo’s or Bison or whatever they are is how do they, as migratory animals, cope with being enclosed? Do they get to the perimeter of their enclosure and go...

And also, when they were offered a herd of buffalo to keep in America, congress (?) decided that they didn’t have the money. So good old Canada bought them ( hmm, shades of the current political climate here). I’m still worried about the plight of the last remaining mustang herds. I find...

Was just channel hopping with the sound off and up popped a documentary called The Great American Buffalo. Even without sound I knew straight away it was by Ken Burns. I hadn’t heard of this one. Going to watch it on catchup when I’ve got time to savour it!

There was a fatality at Kelso last week when we were there. I thought the vets and the ground staff handled it incredibly well. Along,obviously, with connections it must be very difficult for them.

I’ve never used one. Being a technophobe my current problem is paying for car parking. My son has downloaded some parking apps onto my phone ( which I rarely use anyway) but I’m still scared to go anywhere where I can’t pay by cash or card. Our nearest car park is now fully automated meaning...
