This is not one of my favourite songs, but it may be the only one to mention the Lanark Silver Bell (6:35 race at Hamilton today ).

Silent Film - 8:15 Newcastle, Thursday, 1 mile ( Racing League ). 28/1. Worth doing with Lir Speciale (12/1) just for the sake of it.

Pocklington is entered for the valuable six furlong sprint handicap, the 4:10 at York, on Saturday. He's one of the few Geoff Oldroyd horses not to have won recently.

Hannah McMahon's recent record doesn't suggest that her first winner is imminent. Well done for picking Harel Du Marais to win the slalom race at Market Rasen. It's too early for me to resume my interest in Jump racing , but Mark Howard's One Jump Ahead should be available by the end of September.

I think he was entered - but can't prove it - for the valuable Connacht Hotel (QR) Handicap on the Monday of the Galway Festival, but wasn't declared to run. He was subsequently a non-runner in a non-handicap later in the week. It could be that the Irish handicapper is refusing to give the...

I'm puzzled. Today's Racing Post News section has a feature " One eyecatching entry to note in each of the supporting races on York's Ebor Festival day one card ". The horse mentioned for the 4:10 race is A Dream To Share with a write-up about his win in the 2023 Cheltenham Bumper and win on the...

I've got 14/1 about a 7/1 shot ( Silent Age ) and the 75p win double with Whathappensinvegas would be very nice.

A Dream To Share for the Kielys and JP has been entered for the 4:10 race on Wednesday, the two mile handicap. I am guessing that its handicap mark will be revealed tomorrow.

Kate Bush Blind Joe Death The globe spins, Dragging collisions of clutches, to the end. Blind Joe Death staggers to the instrument And caresses the soft wood of the neck. He guides the dizzy fingers through The mist of Melancholy...

Did you mean the Old Borough Cup in a month's time on what used to be Vernon's Sprint Day?

A short film about Newmarket in characteristic Meades style, featuring Sir Mark Prescott ( briefly ), The Osmonds, and Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg.

There are also entries for the Arc and the mares' race on Champions Day at Ascot. She's German owned so the Group 1s in late September at Cologne and early November in Munich over a mile and a half which Alpinista won as a 4-year-old can't be ruled out.

Any of the Shergar Cup races will be much easier than those two. I found a quote from Ian Williams in the Racing Post dated 22/9/2024. " When you've got opportunities like the Shergar Cup and Racing League, they might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they should be embraced because of the...

Bill Frisell. More likely to be heard on Radio 3's Jazz Record Requests. A variety of styles, but principally Americana.

David Gilmour. I thought I would pick a song which isn't Comfortably Numb.

A Dream To Share wasn't entered in the Qualified Riders handicap ( 6:40 on Monday ) either. JP has Dawn Rising and The Shunter in this race and two others as well. I remembered your comment at the end of March that A Dream To Share would be aimed at a race at Galway.

This one will not be a longshot on race day if fancied to run well. Westminster Moon - Monday 6:40 Galway. 2 miles 1f Connacht Hotel (Q.R.) Handicap - 4yo+ 70-100 Trainer AJ Martin / owner John Breslin - familiar green colours with yellow sleeves who have tasted success at this meeting...

I have read the 2023 Little Toller Books edition of Michael Morpurgo's first book All Around the Year, published in 1979, which relates in diary format a year in the life of Parsonage Farm in North Devon. This is one of the farms involved with Farms for City Children, and the book's sale...

Official reason for three of the non-runners in the 2:25 at Newbury ( Contacto, Kyle of Lochalsh, and Wonder Legend ) was that the going had changed since the declarations on Thursday. It's officially good to firm today, and was good to firm ( good in places yesterday ). I don't know what the...

I noted his rule - " One hint of a drug and you're out ". I can't recall any instances of him being fined for horses failing drug tests either for cross-contamination or for medication being administered improperly.
