Hi, I tried to pm you earlier (at some length!) to say thanks for your message in June which I only just read! But got a box up saying you don't accept pms! - or is your inbox full? Thanks, anyway! :D

Sunday 4pm, showing live on ATR Pomme Tiepy is the only foreign raider in this - does anyone fancy her chances? If she won she'd be the first horse not trained in France since Mandarin - and given Mullins' form this season you have to give her a chance The race is on Sunday at 4pm, and will...

When I was younger I found a live-in job a great way to save money - you had to do that (save) to get a mortgage in my day :rolleyes: and I did several stints as a cook/housekeeper when I was still very fit and strong! This was on the website of The Lady today - one of you Irish people may know...

As it's that tiem of year and there seems nowhere to post such news, I thought I'd start a thread on the foals of first time sires 2009, and we can watch their progress Sir Percy's first foal saw the light of day on Sunday - hard to say from the small photo in my newsletter if he's a chestnut...

I just had an email from the racing historian Guy Williams - I'd been hoping to catch up with hiim over the last weekend but he was away sadly, so we missed meeting up this time. He told me he's currently hard at work on a mammoth History of the Irish National Stud. Before replying I checked...

Interesting 2yr old race coming up in a mo (6.40) at Dundalk with a lot of unraced 2yr olds form top yards inc Oxx and Bolger

Have a good one :D

Biggest career wins for all three of Bill Ratcliffe, Bel Cantor and Kelly Harrison in the Ripon Cathedral Handicap Bel Cantor is by a fairly poor and certainly unfashionable sire, Largesse - mind you he probably never gets a decent mare! But Bel is a sound horse who loves his racing and Bill...

Interesting Listed Chase coming up at Newton Abbot on atr - several contenders for the Summer Plate re-oppose inc the winner Race is off late so you can still catch it Edit, sorry atr were still showing prices during the ads!! - so I didn't realise the race had been run - another nice win...

Sorry this is a bit late, I've been distracted! Also if it looks like spam, but it's in a cause I'm sure we'd all like to support... From Hilary Parsons at HEROS << Heros is doing a charity Race Night at Bath on Saturday 30th August .......... Firstly, Heros need to get further sponsors for...

There's a very interesting piece on the Telegraph site about a study which has shown that betting is a very good predictor in all kinds of situations and fields: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/08/18/scibetting118.xml

It's driving me bonkers. The forum keeps logging me out - just now I was pm-ing someone and had to put some links in, and when I came to post off the message I was logged out!! it happens all the time - I tend to flit back and forth between 3/4 forums, and keep finding I've been logged out. It...

Who do TV people get to advise on racing scenarios? Taggart - showing now - has a race-fixing plot. The CID just fingered the collar of a jockey - in the parade ring just before before a race as he comes out to meet connections :eek: ffs! Wonder how they got in there :rolleyes:

Wants more Pattern Races... I see their point as they do get good crowds, but surely you can't hold that many Pattern races at courses where there is such a gross draw bias? RP Story

From Lydia Hislop's column in the Times, I must say I agree totally with her verdict: << The case of Michael Wigham exposes a loophole in the integrity of British racing. This trainer was found guilty of - in the words of the disciplinary panel - “cheating”, twice within 13 days with the same...

I caught up with the Moores at the Queen's Arms in East Garston yesterday after racing - just like old times :D Both Stan and Sara seem very well and chipper, and I get a sense they are in many respects quite relieved by the turn of events. A few owners who had bowed out of the yard after the...

We were discussing Billy Fury and his horse which ran in the Derby on another forum; and doing a bit of googling I came across this wonderful soundtrack of Prince Monolulu the great tipster of the 30s/50s. Was he the first rapper do you think? I think this recording is from Billy Fury's film...

The horse was very lucky to survive that. He hadn't been jumping well at the start, then settled down and jumped well - but met that one all wrong - imo because Brennan got after him at just the wrong moment. Any opinions? If he'd sat quiet in spite of the horses coming up behind him the horse...

And did you kiss the right one? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...wblarney121.xml
