Sorry to hear that Grey - it's always the genuine ones that go. Flame - Just to let you know, Emily Weber heads up the Spotlight team!!!!

Two who ran at Salisbury yesterday - Yair Hill and Whiplash Willie. Yair Hill in particular is a lovely big horse I spotted running at the same track last year.

Mafeking died at home on the gallops recently.

Awesome performance, don't think I will ever see a race like that again. Horses just don't win Classics like that.

....oi, Krizon!!!!! Just 'cos I've got blonde hair and blue eyes!!!

Frankel to win from Native Khan or Saamidd. The latterly named two horses are lovely creatures who always looked like big, raw frames who would be better at 3.

The problem with point to point tracks is that so many just don't have the ability to water - Lockinge being one, for example. There were still no walkovers last Monday which was a surprise for many, even those organising it! They worked hard to produce safe ground by going over it with two...

I'm getting fed up of all the anti-Royal crap that is being spouted at the moment - and no, I'm not talking about this thread. Maybe I'm an old sentimental traditionalist historian but I'm a Royalist and proud to be. The Royal Family give this country its identity, character, customs and...

I hope both divisions of the maiden have had their prize money raised to the original levels rather than being split, as usually happens.

Wasn't meaning to preach Kri - just pointing out that, despite what a lot of people would think, running a horse in a 0-90 (or 0-95 in this case!) handicap chase especially during 'summer jumping' is actually the easier option versus running in a lot of point to points which can be surprisingly...

That Miss Work Of Art is a nice filly, as is the third placed filly, Dawn Lightning.

Cheers, Kri! Stephen Fry will tell you he only had I think it's four wives. Theory being something like he wasn't married to Anne Boleyn and he had the marriage to Anne of Cleves annulled. It was a question on QI but I forget the 'actual' answer!

Running in a point to point isn't a whole lot different to running in a 0-95 handicap chase, in fact running with a weight of 9-12 it'd arguably be an easier race. As I said, since the horse broke down it's immaterial really whether it was running in a 0-95 novices handicap chase, an open point...

Shame to see the old warrior Juveigneur go. Which Pocket was a casualty at Lockinge in a curious incident on the run-in - not having a clear view of the incident, it was said that he collided with the wing sending the runners around the fence that is the first and is by-passed on the final...

Do you really think the pisshead level wasn't too bad, clivex?? They were jeering and shouting from early doors then just after the last, a group of lads hilariously and originally attired (!) in fancy dress pretending to be jockeys ran out to the last two fences and proceeded to climb them...

Towcester can't implement the rule unless the BHA agree to it. Anyone who advocates a whip ban might like to think on where this will all end up....after the whip the Grand National will be the target, after that NH racing, then 2yo racing.....until we're all vegans living in tents.

I knew I'd seen The Book Thief mentioned on here - just finished it, thought it was superb. Cried my eyes out. On flicking through the thread I see I posted at one point that I was enjoying Mo Hayder's Pig Island. I must only have been three pages into it at that point. Don't read it, it's...

Horses aren't worth the cost of the rugs they stand up in at the moment, Hamm. Can't give them away.

World Domination is a lovely, lovely horse.

So long as you like sleeping on the floor, that must work grand, so.
