    Road to the 2025 Champion Hurdle

    Or maybe c hill not as good as before. Nico may believe there is lots more to come but how many horses cruise to the last then don't find much. We will find out in the champion hurdle of course but suspect it will be a lit closer than some think.

    Legend?

    Couldn't leave out Jim Clark. I'm biased as a scot but to me the most gifted driver of all time over many disciplines. Check out his record. Plus an incredibly humble guy. Ayrton senna visited his museum in duns and viewed him as the best ever. That will do for me.

    Getting older

    Me and you both. I was very politically active in my younger days but have gradually over the years seen how there is nothing you can do to stop the march of rampant capitalism and the evils it brings. I so worry for the youth of today but I feel ive done my bit and its up to them to find their...

    Getting older

    I do occasionally get annoyed but quickly realise it's futile to expend energy of these waste of spaces. Far better to channel my enegy into something that's positive. The wildfires in la show shit happens to everybody and you never know what's round the corner. My best mate rages still about...

    Getting older

    Could have written exactly the same thing. Couldn't agree more. Only thing I would add is that, for whatever reason,folk are way more selfish than they used to be. Still loads of decent folk around but a lot more selfish barstewards around now. IMHO.

    Getting older

    Never thought I'd be like this though. Always angry about the latest bit of tory cruelty. Now I realise it doesn't matter how much I whinge plus ca change as the French say. Who knew you could be this chilled in your older years.

    Getting older

    Gave up stressing about all the worlds ills. I can't change anything but I can ensure my family and my friends have an enjoyable life. I steer clear of social media, apart from the sporting ones,and ignore anything by extremists on both sides. I don't watch anything that's clearly slanted to a...

    Getting older

    Played five a sides earlier. 0 degrees but no wind. With no wind chillled factor so not too bad. One thing I've noticed as I get close to retirement is how the aches and pains increase when it's around freezing. Never used to bother me but can feel it now. 12 degrees next week. Bizarre weather...

    I think he needs to find another job. His body surely can't cope with so many injuries.

    Well done you. I struggle to remember what I did last week never mind nearly 20 years ago. I still think in my mind I'm in my late forties but every now and then my body reminds me that my pension is just a couple of years away. Young in spirit is how I would describe it.

    Jockey News

    Well done. Great to see lesser lights in the headlines. Guys like connell and kia at amo are just tantrum merchants who think changing jockey will make a hoot of a difference. Just thoroughly dislikable folk. Or arseholes if you prefer.
