Two very good things today...

[krizon]

... a great deal more worthy of typespace and airtime than 'Arry Findlay bleating about laying his own horse:

Tony McCoy gets a very well-deserved OBE, and young James Halliday rides his first treble, at Market Rasen - where, I'm sure we all recall, his brother Tim was killed in a fall in 2005. Heart-warming events, both much appreciated by the two concerned. And very, very good for racing.

Tom, rather, but agreed wholeheartedly.

It's about time A.P. got it I think. still better late than never.

I always thought Tony was an Irishman-why would he want to accept that award.

He's an Antrim man, and a realist (are there any other types of Antrim men?).

Nice to see years of hard graft and professionalism rewarded.

Why would he not accept it, he's made a damn good living over here.

Set up for it by an Inglisi, too. Pity old Pipey never got a tap on the shoulder for services to what was, until he sharpened it up, dull and boring NH fare.

 

[walsworth]

They thought he was cheating, you know!

 

[trudij]

Fab news both times.

It's about money ?.

You'd have to go a very long way to beat Antrim men Rory....

Great news on both parts Krizon, both well deserved too.
