    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    From the equipment code section from the BHA Rules of Racing - " If a Jockey or Trainer cannot fit the tongue strap: (1) the horse may still run; but (2) if it does not, the financial penalty for non-runners will not apply". "If a horse declared to run with a Tongue Strap arrives at the start...

    What are you watching

    Alan Whicker explores Middleham in 1968. I was surprised to find this film yesterday as I would usually associate him with Pacific islands, the Mediterranean and California.

    Hasn't Rod Stewart got a seat reserved for him at Celtic even though he probably doesn't attend too many matches? Bet they've never played this one at half-time.

    Willie Mullins has been quoted that " hopefully Reaching High will be back for the same race next year ". He's currently showing as the 6/1 favourite for the Northumberland Plate a week tomorrow. If he's too successful he'll be outside the 0 - 100 handicap range for the Ascot Stakes - 101 and...

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    You beat me to it by a few minutes. Apart from the win over course and distance last July Northern Express has two 4th places in that race, and a 3rd and 5th in the Buckingham Palace Stakes. He'd be half the price if he were trained by a top Newmarket trainer.

    The Fist Of Fury Royal Ascot Cup 2025

    I thought Bobby Clampett might have been one of those players, but he only managed a 67 in the opening round of the 1982 Open at Troon. A second round of 66 wasn't too bad either. Pity about the final two rounds where he carded 78 and 77, and finished only four strokes behind the winner, Tom Watson.

    Heighlin won both the Triumph Hurdle and Ascot Stakes in the same year so it's not impossible. I watched the whole race for the first time on YouTube yesterday as I would have been at school in 1980. He wasn't even mentioned by Peter O'Sullevan until they crossed the road after the home turn...
