I noticed today that several firms are quoting prices on Gordon Elliott's No More Heroes for the Weatherby's Champion Bumper. There are no entries as yet, and No More Heroes won't be among them when they do come out, as he is ineligible to run. Bets should be void, but any firm stupid enough to...

Sad to hear Terry has died after a long illness - he was 72. One of the most dashing of jockeys in and out of the saddle when the game was a little less constricted than it is now. A bit of the colour has gone.

Mr. Delargy I do not know you, or what your problem with me is exactly. What i do know is this, [1] you have effected my family business WITH YOUR SLANDEROUS COMMENTS! [2]I have reported all this to the bha! [3]You have personally upset me and my whole family...

Planning to fly home next week, but had my passport stolen last year, and have been unable to get it reissued in time - I need photo ID to board a flight and only have a passport which expired in 2006 (don't drive). Does anyone know a good way of obtaining adequate photo ID quickly - Easyjet...

Colin loves his trainer stats, so I thought I'd dig one out to confuse him and others who like a puzzle. Can anyone name me the trainer who since 1997 has the following stats (accurate up until August 2011): Horses starting at bigger than 14/1 No wins and just 9 places from a total of 398...

Just heard that George Mernagh, former stable jockey to John Webber, has died of cancer. Most recently MD of Tatts (Ireland), I remember George fondly for his old-fashioned style on horses like Knock Hill, Townley Stone, Auntie Dot and Mweenish. He also rode Robert Waley-Cohen's The Dragon...

I see someone has started a thread about this subject elsewhere, but it seems an odd coincidence that so many of the fancied horses he rides suddenly become impossible to steer in the closing stages. Gurtacrue was a good example on Monday and Timesawastin just now looked an identikit case...

Hugh Taylor has put together an excellent Christmas Quiz on ATR, and I hope he doesn't mind if I re-post the questions here. Here's the direct link: http://bit.ly/dh2AWu , and here are the questions: 1. A Newbury maiden in the last 30 years saw a future Derby winner and a future Champion...

I haven't a clue, tbh.

Shocked to hear that the Rosewell trainer has apparently killed himself after returning from Kelso races yesterday. Used to follow his fortunes closely having gone to Uni in Edinburgh, and remember the likes of Beldine, Moment of Truth and Dizzy (after whom a bar at Musselburgh has been named)...

I'll start this here, as he is an occasional poster on TRF, but I must say that Lee McKenzie's calls at Exeter today were poor. He does come across as a very nice bloke, and used to be perfectly adequate, but has morphed into a combination of "shouty" Johnston and the Swedish Chef from The...

I've done the write up for this race in the Timeform Free racecard and was surprised to find how at odds I was (no pun intended) with the Sporting Life (there'll be nothing from the Post until tonight). Here are the contrasting verdicts. I'd be interested in hearing the thoughts of others. I...

With only Kempton on tonight, Timeform Radio are having a "606-style" phone in with yours truly in the chair. If you fancy a chat, why not e-mail the show on radio@timeform.com to get a call-back. Stick your TH username in the e-mail if you like and I'll know who I'm talking to. Or not, if you...

A friend of mine has had someone drop out after booking her flat for race week. If anyone is interested in staying in a one bed flat in the Montepellier area (could sleep two), let me know. It's a great area for socialising and I can recommend The Beehive enormously, especially if you're Irish...

One or two of our members (Steve M a primary candidate) seem to be having trouble getting the smilies to appear at the end of their posts. Could a mod look at this please? :whistle: :whistle: (Mine seem ok)
