    1980's Barney Curley documentary

    When I watch the Godfather or Sopranos I sometimes get envious of the 'real men, real courage, not give a phuck about societal convention' characterisation. When Mrs AC notices the wistful look she reminds me that these people are just Fat Freddy Thomson or Daniel Kinehan with a vowel at the...

    Irish Sunday Racing Thread

    An Irish trainer of note once told me that 'a wind op might get you 3 or 4 pounds first time out and after that most of them are not worth a phuck.' I know nothing about horses, just passing on a quote.

    The 2025 Breeders' Cup

    Jaysus, Troods. Much as I love you I cannot let this pass. This is the fecking Picasso of after-timing. Makes Ian's efforts look like a child's crayon scrawl.
