    Grand National protests

    I think treating the protesters as cranks is dangerous. I can only see the protests getting worse as the years go by. Did not Ruby Walsh describe the race as little more than a 4 mile hurdle quite recently? It is 50 years since Red Rum`s first win but what sticks in my mind is Crisp virtually...

    Memories of former members

    Yes, he was not without his faults, who is, but always came across as a very generous and warm and helpful chap. And, as for Diamond Geezer, well what a loss. Another who did so much for this forum. And he, too came across as a lovely chap.

    Road to the Champion Hurdle 2023

    The most important person in the house...

    Many years ago (about 65!!) we had a cat which my brother, sister and I adored. Well, we moved from our slum of a terraced house to a brand new council flat But on the day of the move...no sign of our cat! We, obviously, had to move and for a couple of weeks my dad returned each day to look for...

    Racing memories (good or not so good)

It was running in my lunch hour and I had my weeks dinner money burning a hole in my pocket! In those far...
