How exciting.

Coolmore single handily killed middle distance racing with Galileo.

Oh my God. Your last line literally nails my experience of it.

As for Kempton. Take away two races on the 26th of December and what have you left? Those two races can easily be given to another track, probably Sandown.

"Lucky enough to have been a guest in a private box". I've been in private boxes and they are absolutely shit. You couldn't hand pick worse people to be stuck in a room with.

22/1 will do me.

Janes Bowen. Massive upgrade.

How in the name of God is that 20/1? That has absolutely no chance.

Sid & Nancy would be more like it.

If that were the case, why doesn’t Roman McNally hold a trainer’s licence anymore? If the rules are breached, they are entitled to ban a jockey for as long as they see fit. You sound like the sort of lawyer who sees an elderly woman fall on a frosty morning on her way to collect her pension...

You don't seriously think Charles Byrnes' would go to court with this? He wants this to go away as quickly as possible.

This didn’t need crowd control. Two people exchanged views, lines were drawn, and it resolved itself. That’s how adults self-regulate. I don’t need other members stepping in to explain tone or play moral compass. Boundary is set. We move on.

I appreciate the essay, but neither jockey’s testimony is credible or advances either side’s case. He jumped off. Anyone with a pair of eyes saw that. They need to follow the money trail. It’s also worth pointing out that, while this was a fine opportunity to remind everyone you have a law...

Yes, and my opinion is you can f%*& off. I hope I've expressed it well enough for you.

Johnnywho is very well handicapped. He was off once last season.

You can f%*& off too.

Go f%*& yourself.

If Doddiethegreat (14/1) can put a clean round of jumping together, he won’t be far away. The horse has a knack of getting hampered or letting his hind legs into the hurdle. His form over his last five runs is ultra-consistent, though. It’s a very weak, shallow race and he hasn’t much to find...

Imagine my shock when I saw she wasn't declared. 140 in the bag, they can now work backwards from the Coral Cup.
