I get a bit emotional when I see Ouija Board in a horses pedigree. One of my favourite flat horses.

I’ll be staying up (well, I’m pretty nocturnal so will be awake anyway) to cheer Saffie on. Thankfully she kept out of trouble last time but might have learned a lot from it. I actually chatted to a new found American internet chum who spoke to Saffie and her dad prior to the Preakness. I’ve...

Just realised that most people watching 1883 would have watched Yellowstone so would have known what was going to happen to the main characters anyway.

I’m just about to watch the last episode. I didn’t really think much if it at first; compared it too much to American Primeval which I loved. But it’s grown on me. I wish now that I’d watched it before 1923, which I might now have to rewatch.Not sure how I feel about watching a series that...

On the subject of the Rolling Stones I’ve just listened to a brilliant Rest is History two part podcast about them; both incredibly funny and informative. They filmed Beggars Banquet just down the road from where I live. I stopped listening to The Rest is History after discovering the BBC’s...

Fascinating documentary about Anita Pallenberg on Sky Arts last night. After she died her son with Keith Richard’s found an autobiography that she’d written and the film is based around it. I’ve long been fascinated by that era of the Stones, albeit not being a great fan of their music. It...

I was going to ask about breeding because I was of the impression that Brigadier Gerard was a failure at stud ( it isn’t something I know much about, though).And his temperament wasn’t the best.

I’ve missed this thread because the forum seemed to be full of similar ones and it was a bit overwhelming. Looking forward to listening to the link when I’ve got time. Ever since I got back into racing the thing that I’ve loved is how accessible people involved in the sport are and have always...

Glad that I started working on the garden and forgot about the race, having resolved to not listen to the race but check the results soon after. He’s off to a well deserved break, now. Had a panic when I read ‘ Hewick is ok after his fall today’ instead of ‘ Hewick is ok after his race today’...

Well done. I’m cursing myself for not backing him today. I backed one of the other outsiders and when I re read what is said about P of A I couldn’t understand why I hadn’t backed him, as he had the sort of profile that I look for in a big priced ew bet ( ie underexposed/could be anything).

Discovered Wild Earth Channel 91 last night whilst channel hopping. Just people in a land rover filming wild animals and talking about them. Not like your glossy nature programmes ( which I do love) but they’re currently chatting about how they like Hyenas and find them quite cuddly which I...

Is that xylitol which is deadly poisonous to dog?

Have now watched the second film. Again glad that I didn’t watch it at a cinema but it is beautiful to watch. Kept thinking of Fist though which made me feel very sad.

But can you eat one without licking your lips…?

….don’t think the wind op has done anything for Foshan. Reckon he’ll be joining Spiders Bite at the home for retired horses soon…

Okavango Delta 2 Worcester just now. My heart horse (along with Wise Eagle because he was so sweet and cuddly when I met him when Rose Dobbin trained him…something I certainly wouldn’t attempt to do with Wise Eagle). Have been really worried about him as he hasn’t raced for quite a while and...

Just watched it. What did he do wrong? It’s so easy to fall foul of the stewards in France isn’t it..

I like Nick Luck. I have fond memories of sitting on the floor at one of our racing club meeting ( held in a rather run down working men’s club) with both of us eulogising about Zenyatta in the Breeders Cup ( he’d just got back from America). Then again I have fond memories of all of the racing...

I might be having a total knee replacement at some point which is another reason why I need to be able to have some sort of access to the outside world. I can access my Facebook page via Mikes so at least I can tell people that if they get a message from him it’s from me!

I just woke up having what was almost a panic attack over it. I depended on it so much during the pandemic. Terrified that I’ll lose it on my computer, too. It’s my main way of contacting people. I’m so annoyed that they can make something that people get to depend on but can then take it away...
