I bet Shoemark is hoping Lanfranco isn't coming over.

Heavens I bet Gosden misses Dettori.

On heavy ground maybe - I think Kauto would have far too many gears for GDC on better ground .

it started this season - although not quite at those prices clearly Michelin star prices and looked pretty empty. I suspect Cheltenham ignored the pandemic bounce effect of the 2022 Festival and thought they could charge what they liked and the last two years have been a nasty surprise.

Definitely the worst Festival I have ever been to . Of course there were lots of great races but lots of depressingly uncompetitive ones too. Heavy ground obviously compromises it . The race day experience as they like to call it was also much the worst . It was as if they had little confidence...

I understand the feeling . The greed of Jockey Club racecourses is appalling and the golden goose is looking poorly. I have been an annual member since 2003 and not missed a day since Best Mate’s first Gold Cup but am seriously considering not renewing my membership . The latest greedfest is the...

Saints above - but he didn’t take masses of taxpayers money for defective PPE.

Due to his owners I suspect he would be the most unpopular winner in history - An Capall .

Nashwa if York has not left a mark.

Thistlecrack was a steering job - hardly evidence of how good a jockey was. Tudor strikes me as having a good racing brain and good hands - and his riding of those Christian Williams stayers has been exemplary.

Rather amusing that the software has censored the rooster of the North !

Announced by his son on Twitter today that he had died aged 86 in the night. Yet the RP and SL websites took ages before mentioning anything. Leaves Carson as the last of the top jockeys of the 1970s still with us. Eminently reliable jockey - if you have ever seen the video a careful clever...

Tudor is a much better jockey than Tom Scudamore so hope they thrive.

I hope they do go for the stayers . Teahupoo’s form last spring on good ground was poor, Blazing Khal might bounce , Flooring Porter not in the same form so far . She looks like she has more gears than most of them if she stays.

Pleased to see a double for Henry yesterday .

Galopin des Champs is much too short at present . If he wins the Irish Gold Cup easily then 6-4 might be justifiable.

Honeysuckle May well though.

Came from the owner . Not every yard seems keen to tell the public as soon as they know something was wrong .

Says a lot about the small fields crisis .

I assume that explains the appalling entry of only 13 for the big handicap hurdle .
