    Irish Champions Weekend

    I am even money for Saturday. I have a few fish to fry earlier on.

    St Leger

    I am already looking forward to making the same post for next year: "I am all over John Gosden's Snoano for this. Will be having my largest bet of the flat season. Eyecatching prep run in an important Leger trial, unexposed, trained by a man who block books 15 rooms on Leger weekend in the...

    St Leger

    I am all over John Gosden's Forever Now for this. Will be raiding the kids’ money box to get as much as I can on him. Eyecatching win in an important Leger trial, unexposed, trained by a man who block books 15 rooms on Leger weekend in the hotel beside the racecourse and a dosage profile that...

    The Road to the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2014

    If KH wins the Arc, it's time to eat my hat. He's a boat. I haven't got a clue what wins, in fairness. I would love to see Australia tog out.

    Haydock Sprint

    Cougar Mountain's first two runs this season made me think he was a G1 sprinter. At the price, I'm willing to forgive his Nunthorpe run. Ground should be fine. I think Sole Power is the horse to beat.

    I tipped up a few winners on here this morning, which seem to have disappeared.

    Can Ireland declare neutrality in this war?

    AP McCoy The Legend

    5/4 shots are more than likely to lose than win. So a win is out-running expectations in my book.

    Henderson Cheltenham team

    Not much wrong with the Clonmel Oil or the John Durkan either. Plenty of options for these horses, which will be shown by small fields both sides of the Irish sea. Henderson will still lob his toys out the pram about the lack of options, though.

    That sounds like my kind of 5/4 shot. If I could find one of those a day, I'd be happy.

    Henderson Cheltenham team

    I would love one of those jobs as racing manager. I can plan any horse's season.

    Henderson Cheltenham team

    Why not the race in Aintree or the Amlin? A hurdle race like the one at Ascot? More I think of it, the Amlin is perfect.

    Pet driving hates to be fined

    Well said. Just because people have a perception of competency (maybe accurate, maybe misplaced) doesn't mean they should be allowed to flaunt the law. Like Clive, I have been over the limit the morning after twice, and I won't do it again. I don't drive so well when I am like that.

    Pet driving hates to be fined

    Because 30mph is demed to be the maximum speed at which you can drive safely in those areas. There may be other road users (including people walking) at that time. What's more, they might be drunk. Driving at 30mph could save your own life, and lives of others. No you don't you pay...

    I don't like that, Slim.

    Jamie Spencer Retires

    An unusual move. Fair play to him. I have always liked the guy on a horse.

    What are you backing Today?

    Apparently the second furlong was just over 10 seconds. Not sure what the fastest sectional you have seen for a furlong.

    What are you backing Today?

    I have liked that Tiggy Wiggy for quite a while. Only times I have backed her, she has finished second. I wonder will they consider aiming her at the Abbaye? Doesn't have the look, page or profile of a 3yo. They are talking about the Chevely Park, but I wouldn't be surprised if they made...

    Juddmonte International

    I find it very hard to believe that he won't go for either Ascot, Longchamp or the Breeders' Cup. They don't bottle it.
