Over the last few days I have been switching between the Test match and ITV racing. Changing channels just before race time and hitting the mute button. I can honestly say that if I closed my eyes I could still enjoy the cricket. If I did the same for the racing coverage I would be slitting .y...

A friend of mine purchased a racehorse and asked me of I wanted to get involved. In 22 starts it has won one race and be placed seven times but has cost him an absolute fortune..

The last two days of the Ebor meeting were abandoned due to waterlogging so its not unheard of. A friend of mine who lives on the estate at the back of the course (where the Terry's building stood) regularly walks his dog on the knavesmire. He was telling me that when they were doing remedial...

Terrific line up potentially but it will have to be to entice punters to dig deep in their pockets to shell out £78 to get entrance to the county stand that day.

Do you pronounce it Darby or Durby just asking for a friend.

At least Danny Tudhope won't be riding overweight. He put up a pound overweight when beaten a head carrying 8 stone 13 pounds at York. That cost me a fair few pounds!!!

Warren Fentiman claiming five is a positive booking. Gave Alzahir a great winning ride at Epsom last night.

I think most of the bookmakers are anticipating quick ground on Saturday. Way the market's moving it will be odds on by then.

Would be interested if the claimer Mason Paetel took the ride (rode him well at Chester latest start). Unfortunately he is engaged to ride at Beverley on Saturday.

Did really well to get Moonax to win a classic as he was a highly talented beast of horse. I was at York when it was due to make its debut there was a flood of money for it but the horse went ballistic and was withdrawn. Terrific trainer.

What happened to the female passenger. Seems like it's been 'hushed up' very well.

On her last ride at the course she won on a 28/1 shot!!!!

Jack Dace's claim takes it to virtually bottom weight and it's his only ride!

York 2:25 Saturday PABORUS Strictly on form should not win but has won four of its last five starts winning reported as: Unchallenged/Comfortably/Readily/Easily I know it flopped at York but that was at a time when the yard wasn't really firing. The interesting thing is that William Buick has...

In the early eighties not long after the Racing Post was launched and at a time when I used to attend both the Dante and Ebor meetings in full (Tue/Wed/Thu) in those days then travel to Thirsk (Fri/Sat) where I was then an annual member ((£65 for 12 days racing at Thirsk 8 days racing at...

Talking of my recent cruise. I was away for the first three days of Royal Ascot and decided not to have a bet (problems experienced previously trying to make a bet with a UK bookmaker whilst abroad). I was walking through the casino obviously itching to have a bet and the roulette croupier tried...

I don't watch that on religious grounds lol

Brighten up guys and gals we have still got the wonderful Shergar Cup to look forward to!!!!

And most of the presenters are ambassadors for bookmaking firms!!!!

On Saturday I was switching between the Test Match and ITV racing. My wife loves cricket but not so horse racing as she hates to see animals hurt. She turned to me and said why is it that the commentators and presenters of the cricket are more professional and the horse racing presenters seem...
