    The 2014 World Hurdle

    I was on More Of That (horses are often unbeaten for good reason, couldn't pass up the prices offered!) and had a little on Big Buck's too. I didn't fancy Annie Power at those ridiculous odds. I honestly thought she ran a blinder though... AP was ill at ease before the race and I wonder if it...

    Champion Hurdle 2014

    I don't think Ruby has done anyone any favours whatsoever there, The Daily Mail predictably has picked up on it, do try not to read the comments section on the website! No way would he have the same sentiments if that had happened to Kauto or Hurricane Fly. It was a strange fall as Our Connor...

    Diamond Harry

    One of my favourites, this fella. He's had so many problems in recent years and I cannot believe they are still running him, he just isn't the same horse.

    Retirements and Departures 2013

    Only just heard about Dayjur. That's the horse that got me into racing at the age of nine! His shadow jumping antics in his last race endeared him to me even more (probably because I was too young to bet!). They don't make them like him anymore.

    Road to the 2013 Gold Cup

    Having said that, the first-time-out form is swaying me a bit (watched the Betfair Chase 2011 again and he did better than I remembered) and he looks quite well in training: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU9UOQ2pwWQ&feature=youtu.be

    Road to the 2013 Gold Cup

    As someone who has spanked a fair bit of cash following Diamond Harry... I have to say that I think it's a big if :)

    Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2012

    Yep Nathaniel is out. If there was cut, he'd have been a mighty player. Hope he runs again.

    Epsom Derby 2012

    So is he that good, or was it a poor Derby? Can't wait to find out, but i'm not laying him again!

    Retirements & Departures 2012

    Poor Birindisi! My only winner at a hopeless festival, and surely had plenty of other big days ahead. Really sad

    Channel 4 secures all racing terrestrial rights

    I like the Channel 4 racing team, even Thommo makes me laugh sometimes, so I hope that doesn't get broken up. Wouldn't mind Balding making the transfer, but Carson, Parrott and that enormous bookie can stay right where they are!

    Retirements & Departures 2012

    Featherbed Lane and Abergavenny both put down after Coral Cup. Very sad to see two good looking and fairly young horses end up like that.

    Grand National winner Don't Push It retired Well done to connections for retiring when he has lost his sparkle

    Retirements & Departures 2011

    I remember him having a particularly nasty fall a while ago, I wouldn't be surprised if that put him off! Good on the owners

    Old racing on You Tube

    I keep watching Dayjur at Belmont Park, Mtoto's Arc and Dancing Brave in the Derby. One of them will get there one day!
