    Clare Balding to join Channel 4

    This is the news I have been dreading. I CANNOT STAND this awful, rude, patronising, overbearing woman. I've taken to recording the increasingly rare BBC broadcasts, even when I've been at home, so that I can FF Miss B. Now I shan't be able to watch C4 live any more. And yes, I know that she...

    Is Jamie Spencer Going Bad?

    What is this about, please?

    King George

    So pleased for the great filly from the bargain basement.

    Derek Thompson - Cancer

    It is a shame that this thread has degenerated into a tedious slanging match. All the best to Derek Thompson.

    Black Caviar

    Just disgusted by the criticism. So, jockey error (?), not looking her best. AND she's a mare, not one of the globe-trotting geldings. She WON. And was superb.

    The King George

    PLEASE can we cut down on the foul language? Moderators? It really spoils it for those of us who want to read about the racing, e.g., the great Kauto, but don't want effing and blinding.

    New Whip Rules

    Please, must we have the foul language?

    King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes 2011

    Just awful, for so many reasons. Started off as a bad race with not enough contenders and got worse. Not a race I ever want to remember.

    Arse Cup

    I can't wait for Scotland to become independent as at least that means their tennis players should no long be "British interest" (although, of course, Murray was fostered by our tennis association). I have Virgin cable and Freeview; in both cases, the red button offered me tennis and nothing...

    Jamie Spencer?

    I've always been a Spencer fan, too, and have been dismayed by the years of vicious anti-Jamie postings.

    Sadler's Wells has put out his last cigarratte

    RIP. What more can one say? A great, great stallion.

    And how about Flipando?

    The Road to "No more "The Road to" " threads.

    Ardross, I'm glad you've raised this - I've been meaning to for ages. "The Road to..." is just really off-putting and, when I see it, I don't fancy reading it.

    Arse Cup

    Euronymous. Foul language, no need.

    Miesque

    I was actually amazed to see that she'd been going this long. A great innings, God bless.

    Monet's Garden fighting for his life

    I've not been able to enjoy NH properly since watching the death of the beloved One Man. His lovely trainer used to call him his little, bouncing, rubber ball and died not long after. I entirely understand the sentiment about One Man looking down on Monet's Garden and have no shame about being...

    Monet's Garden fighting for his life

    No! Haven't got over the losses of Twist Magic and Joe Lively, dread losing another favourite.

    Twist Magic

    Really distressing news. And some idiot sub-editor at The Independent thought it appropriate to come up with a crass headline about 'a bitter twist'.

    In praise of ATR

    ATR deserves praise for continuing to provide plenty of entertainment when we have had so little racing here. And congratulations to Matt Chapman - does anyone know what Alan Brazil was slagging him off about on talkSport?
