I'd like to nominate myself for not recognising the typo at the time!!!!

 

I'd also like to nominate the RP for two of today's articles. Firstly, the reporting of Reg Griffin's death. All they could possibly bring themselves to say with regards to Jim McGrath was that they were "partners in racing" for many years. It is well documented that Jim and Reg were a couple and had been for many years - they themselves were quite open about it. I can only imagine that it must hurt McGrath that the RP refused to recognise their relationship for what it was - can they not bring themselves to admit that some people may be gay? McGrath must be grieving very much anyway, he doesn't need petty behaviour like that to add to it all I'm sure.

 

Secondly, I'd like to nominate James Willoughby's article on Frankie - jeez, is he engaged in a pissing contest with Brough Scott and Lee Mottershead over who can come out with the most unnecessary gushing flowery prose? I left my paper at Goodwood but the guff line early doors about him making riding look easy nearly made me choke! If someone has a copy, please do put up the comment, it involved Dettori being the sublimination of the physical difficulty in riding equines or similar, yet even more gushing and flowery than that!
