An interesting interview with Patrick Mullins here https://soundcloud.com/emmet-kennedy/cheltenham-review-with-patrick Martin

How much would you pay for a 12yo gelding, has run well in big races (Grand National etc), placed at the Cheltenham Festival in the past but not run since May 2012. In a leading yard at the moment, tried in headgear and currently rated in the high 130's. Martin

Last Minute Lisa could go well in the opener - she was 4th to a couple of nice enough horses for the grade and time of year (both rated in the 70's) last time out at Wolverhampton and whilst she ran badly on her only previous outing here but she seems an improved performer the last twice...

Merry Christmas!! Hope it's a happy and profitable festive period for one and all :)

We've had a discussion on him on here before regarding comments AP made in his biography about him - with the recent appointment of Noel Fehily as Number One at Emma Lavelle's it's an interesting development that he rides a nice horse of John Halley's for Laurent Viel in a Group 3 at Auteuil...

Hope he has a long and happy retirement - some great racing performances in his career :)

Posted by a friend of mine on another forum - the death of French jockey Benjamin Boutin. A dramatic fall has changed the meeting Saturday at Argentan on the occasion of the sixth race of the program. After a false start, the pack was in fact entering the first turn when Game Of Legs and...

Starts tomorrow for Backstage - he contests the Open P2P at Tinahely for Gordon Elliot and Middleham Park/GE Staff Syndicate. Jamie Codd is down to ride.

I know Arkwright already knows the answer but: Which horse has won Point-To-Point's or Steeplechases under 4 members of the same family? Martin

Another legend departs our world :(

As reported by the Racing Post - the death of Grand National legend Ginger McCain :(

Anyone know when entries for this come out please? Thanks Martin

Good discussion going on in the Punchestown thread regarding racing horses in France and there've been a few trainers (Tom George and Nick Williams the most notable) who've raced horses over jumps in France recently. Thought we could track the runners in this thread: Entered on 13th May @...

Just to make it more interesting the rules to the Royal Wedding Drinking Game (courtsy of Facebook and more than likely students with nothing else to do - why they don't do a degree in inventing drinking games is beyond me). In anticipation of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton...

Thought I'd start this thread for the Dundalk regulars. Quiet start on Friday night but should be back in full swing soon enough :)

Courtesy of www.irishracing.com Jack Tyner, who has been battling for survival since taking a terrible fall at Dungarvan point-to-point last Tuesday, has lost his fight for life.The teenage son of trainer Robert and his wife Mary actually rode a winner that day (Exitnell) but in the following...

Results: Jeff Pearce - warned off for 3 years Geoff Huffer - warned off for 3 years Jerry O'Dwyer - warned off for 18 months Only taken them 2 years to come to this conclusion.

I know he had a few fans on here and probably some who'd been wondering where he'd got to. He turned up in a Point-To-Point at Cottenham today - still in the colours of Cillian Ryan though now trained by Jo Quinlan (wife of Mick) and ridden by the impressive Jack Quinlan. CAS started a 5/4...

From the BHA site: ANNOUNCEMENT: Change to Official Distances From Boxing Day 2010 we will be ceasing to use a 'Distance' as an official term when calculating the distances that horses have been beaten. This will mean that when a horse is beaten by greater than thirty lengths the old term...

See this fellow is entered at Thurles tomorrow in a 3m Chase - due to be his first start since finishing tailed off at Auteuil in September 2009. IIRC he was disqualified and banned from racing in Ireland and the UK after connections had been found guilty of running him under a different name...
