I think Chapman needs to tone down his loud abrasive public schoolboy sthick

I have a rule of never let anyone owe any amount that would cause me problems not to get back. Words mean nothing when it comes to the crunch with money. I'm like various guys who have done work on my house i.e. they wanted 1/3 up front , a 1/3 half way thru & last 1/3 on completion. Trouble is...

That type of thing f's me off. What happened to stigma of being a bankrupt debtor? Those that have being part of an ltd that's gone belly owing people money should be barred from being a company director for at least a year or operating any kind of business.

'fair share' is an entirely subjective term

There is a difference between avoidance and evasion (as per current law), you are under no obligation to organise your affairs to pay the highest possible amount to the tax man , I believe there is case law on that. Anyone who thinks they should can quite simply go f themselves a thousand times...

I wouldn't be backing anything in the Triumph hurdle in March on basis they'd been in any of those 'trials'

they were always known as bogeys in the north east

https://www.racingpost.com/news/britain/matt-chapmans-company-folded-leaving-339000-debt-including-178000-owed-to-hmrc-alZgK3Z5kYlB/ Dunno what the other debts covered but I have zero sympathy for those , especially those who are in any way a public figure, crying for sympathy cos they owe the...

Don't get me started on how the British and Irish racing authorities aren't consistent with their naming of races ! Cos I track and cross ref all the listed and g1-3 races in GB and IRE (which is about 1000 for flat and jumps), maintaining that due to lack of a consistent naming convention is a...

These are the races that ran in 2025 with "Triumph" in the name

Calling the 1240 the JCB Triumph 'Trial' is something of a misnomer, since 2000, 51 runners have gone on to run in the Triumph hurdle in March and only 3 have won and 7 have placed. Where they do actually go on and do well is in the Aintree Anniversary 4-Y-O Hurdle Stakes in April , since 2000...

Has a fair few graded races there, I think that's 453 in the list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_and_Canadian_Graded_races

Calling someone c&&t or telling them to f off means nothing to me seeing it on screen, but I wouldn’t be inclined to say it to newbies cos I tend to mean it when I say it and would happily say it to their face rather than in text. Some people here I do view as pathetic c&&ts simple as that but...

Short answer not many. However runners in the Gulfstream Park World Cup Turf Invitational Flat Stakes who ran in the previous year have a 4 out of 9 ew strike

In my data I have about 90 gr1-3 or listed races in the usa. The Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes and The Pegasus World Cup AW Invitational Stakes, being two coming up, I wonder how many european or HK horses go to compete in high end races over there?
