    Would love see Coneygree over for the Lexus, bound to be the best GC trial too should they all make it in once piece and he will almost be guaranteed nice soft ground here at that time of year.

    Very sad to hear Gary Moore is spending the night in intensive care after receiving several kicks around the ribs from a horse in the stables ............................ he has several damaged ribs and fluid on his lungs. Here's wishing him a speedy recovery <ok>

    And speaking of jockeys, Tim Bell, a fine young rider from New South Wales who'd recently taken a contract in Asia, has fallen to his death from a high rise building in Singapore. He was found unconscious, but later passed away in hospital. He'd won the 2013-14 Brisbane rider's title in his first year as a senior jockey, winning 135 races in total that season. Police are investigating, but early reports indicate that Tim may have locked himself out of his apartment and decided to try climbing in. It's said that he was a lovely man with an infectious personality. He was 22. <rose>

    It was SIRE DE GRUGY, he heard Moore tell the press that he "wasn't that good any more".


    Seriously though, sounds nasty and hope he gets well soon.
