    That Broadway Boy fall is going to be all over the back pages tomorrow.
    Another nail in the coffin of this race.

    It'll become a hurdle race.

    I’m good thanks Ron. Still involved in the point to points. We had a horse this year but he had a few issues with injuries and ran poorly so called it a day. He was sold and went hunting. Had a decent Cheltenham by my standards and won a few quid on Mr Vango recently. Was hoping he would get in the national. Aintree has been poor for me. Apart from that life is good. All good over in France?

    What was the issue here . He fell two from home. Who is going to pull a horse up when leading in the grand national?

    The issue is that tens of thousands of people only tune in to watch one race a year and will have been absolutely horrified by that fall. The horse was out in front so centre stage and it will undoubtedly have sickened the majority of once a year punters.

    Yes, all good thanks. We have an afghan hound puppy now, got it from Italy. Long time since we've shown them but this one looks a good one so will probably be concentrating on Europe with her

    Fortunately the horse is fine and has been returned to his stable.

    We acquired a springer spaniel, he’s bonkers but keeps me fit and he loves going to the points. Our big local meeting on Good Friday 10 thousand in attendance last year. I’ve still yet to have a runner though. Good luck with the shows.
