    The 2025 Irish Champions' Festival

    He's a dude all right. The top horses tend to be bolshy. Montjeu was the same apparently. Galileo unusual I being tough as they come but fairly laid back. Will be fun waiting to see his offspring.x

    The 2025 Irish Champions' Festival

    He looks quite the specimen. Very much like camelot who felt he was top dog at coolmore. Must be a tricky horse to handle. Well done to soumi btw. Loads of pressure on him as that was a huge deal stallion wise but he was super cool on him. 👏👏

    Jockey News

    Just highlights how risky a job being a jockey is. If crowley doesn't go for gaps he gets shouted at. I admire these guys immensely for their bravery.

    Election 2024

    Indeed Ian. Too many folk romanticise thatchers time but her policies have left us where we don't make anything ourselves,there is a massive shortage of affordable housing and wages are falling behind inflation horrendously. The elastic band will snap eventually but unfortunately those on low or...

    Election 2024

    Folk want easy answers and don't want to see snake oil salesman. Society is becoming more stupid and unable to think beyond what's in front of them. If reform get in I only hope folk are prepared for the carnage that will follow. We are royally screwed whatever happens and that's from the...

    Election 2024

    Yup. Just enact policies that help folk and improve their lives,even marginally. God knows why politicians can't see this. Too tied up in soundbites and dogma. So feckin frustrating

    As mad as a box of frogs nadine Dores has defected to reform. Just when you thought politics couldn't get any loopier.

    Point Blank: ‘The Lads’ Have a Ryan Moore Problem

    He already rides out at ballydoyle on ocassions usually before big races. He knows the set up well and has no retainers so perfect for coolmore while Moore is out.

    70s

    Heartily agree. Most music in the 80s were throwaway pop. 70s brought us so many great artists like gerry rafferty Tom petty,Billy joel to name a few. I do like some of the 80s stuff like omd but very rarely go to see 80s bands.

    Self indulgent is the word. The old Sunday forum on atr was a brilliant show with the likes of Pete Thomas and Julian muscat hugely informative and entertaining. Can't watch the racing post podcast. By far the worst of the main racing podcasts. Imho of course.

    It's actually very sad how much its regressed. Just poor analysis and writers bias shines through.

    Quality, quality, quality. Hmmm

    I'd say my upbringing was tough for various reasons but fortunately find my life in a good place and do try and help others if I see that I can in some small way whether just a wee nugget of advice or in a practical way if I'm able to. I do both proper fives and a sort of jogging football with...

    Quality, quality, quality. Hmmm

    The fab for breeders wanting speedier types of horses plays into what's going on. In Japan they breed top class sprinters and also horses top class up to 2m. I'd be bored rigid watching heaps up to a mile at a meeting. Chester cup day has a very large crowd and a very varied card...

    The 2025 Glorious Goodwood Day 3 (Thursday) thread

    It's 21 degrees by 12 o'clock today with sunny intervals at goodwood. Will be loose on top but good underneath. Too many trainers too quick to pull out horses imho. Aidan let Bedtime story run knowing it was unlikely she would handle it. She ran pretty well considering and will have teed her up...

    The 2025 Glorious Goodwood Day 3 (Thursday) thread

    The hill/camber surely helps it dryer quicker. The camera yesterday showed a lovely shot of whirl leading towards the stands and clearly showed they come downhill for most of the straight. I can see a few being pulled out but by the time we're racing could be good/good to soft. Can't understand...

    The 2025 Should Be Odds-On Thread

    When I saw Minnie hawk win at chester I thought she'd be placed at best in the oaks. Whirl reminded me of snowfall at York and thought she looked the oaks winner. Now we have two top fillies both of whom haven't reached their ceilings. The joy that is the puzzle of horse racing.

    Jockeys earning their corn today. Makes tipping almost impossible. Who handles this ground. Wouldn't be surprised at a few upsets for the rest of the week.
