Is it me or is that a lot of parting of company with the trainers that Denis O'Regan has done now? Do we know the reson behind it?

Booked to ride for Ferguson at Ludlow tomorrow.

Tragically Jimmy Fortune's wife, Jan, (to whom he rushed away from the races at Saturday missing the ride on Tullius in the Lockinge), has died. He rode for me while I was training and you couldn't meet a nicer guy. My thoughts are with him and his family.

Terrible news - condolences and thoughts be with him and his two boys.

Thoughts with him and family. R.I.P

 

[icebreaker]

That's awful news.
Sympathies and condolences.

 

[Cruella]

Such sad news. Condolences to the family.

 

[Fizzbw]

That's very sad, poor man and family.

A kick in the teeth for Hayley Turner today - losing one of her last good rides to Dettori who promptly lands a G1 with Ribbons .

She has had a terrible time since her injuries - nearly all of the trainers who used to use her a lot seem to have thrown her overboard barring Conor Dore and despite Ribbons - Fanshawe.

Bryan cooper is back riding out

Peter Bowen's son Sean has joined Paul Nicholls as one of his stable conditionals. Shame Roddy isn't posting to give us the inside info!

Has anyone heard from Roddy at all?

 

[Singing Detective]

There's a few regulars not posting anymore, maybe they only post when NH racing starts properly ?

Pat Smullen hits 100 for the Irish season today.
He is World class and it is amazing he has not been used as super sub by the really big owner groups so far. I suppose he is a family man and Dundalk winter season keeps him from globe trotting but he rarely makes a mistake and is ultra reliable.
Hats off to him.

Hughes only three behind Moore now. Didn't realise it was so close; Moore has ruled this season.

He is all of that

Was at Haydock yesterday (Sat), 2nd race anyone see Adam Kirby idle Skyward Emirates with a 3 length lead and get collared ? Not seen anything about it but would think he'll cop a few days - I was on the winner Stoute's horse Mustard, great to see a horse headed and fight back but what a shocker from squeaky.

 

[Desert Orchid]

Prince Of Johanne did the dame thing later on. It could be the jockeys couldn't do much about it. Maybe they just went too soon, maybe they misread the ground. Maybe once they got to the front and moved over to the rail they hit softer going. I don't know.

Good to see Daryl Jacob riding a big winner for Dr Newland yesterday. I hope he has a decent season

 

[chroniclandlord]

Hope so too.

Bryan Cooper declared to ride Guitar Pete at Limerick Sunday.
Welcome back to him and wishing him an injury free season.
Indeed that wish extended to all jockeys ( if such were possible )

Hear, hear.

 

[chroniclandlord]

Great to see Cooper back in action.

Yep. Some exciting novices await him. A young talent who has undergone a lot.

Wertheimer Brothers announce a split with Olivier Peslier after twelve years of success.
Goldikova, Intello, Solemnia and others were the highlights.
He would be an ideal candidate for Ballydoyle / Stoute stable should the need arise.
A top top jockey .
