They must tempted with a capital 'T' <cheers>

Would Venetian Sun be much shorter for the 1000 guineas if she were trained by Aiden O'Brien? Trainer Karl Burke saying she will step up to 7F in the Moyglare Stud Stakes next.

I've always been a sucker for a handsome chestnut with a couple of white socks ................. especially when carrying Saeed Manana's colours 3.35 York Ebor Handicap Majestic Warrior 11/1 This half-brother to 2020 Ebor winner Fujairi Prince overcame a nearly 2-year absence in April when...

Mojo Ego easy to back this morning, out from 7/2 to 5/1. Mr Rumbalicious opened at a general 8/1 yesterday and has been smashed into 3/1 fav this morning. I've had win singles and an e/w double. Gwaaaaaaaaan Leah <cheers>

My daughter and her boyfriend are going to Valencia for a year (he is doing his Masters at the Uni there) from the end of September so we will be visiting there plenty. Yes I love the food in the Basque region - especially the Pintxos. Been to Bilbao several times on business trips, its an...

Great isn't it? Heading down to Spain next month for a couple of weeks. 6 days in Girona, then a couple of days Zaragoza and then the rest in the general North-East basque region. Bilbao, San Sebastian, anywhere else you would recommend?

I'll be very interested to see the opening show on Mojo Ego in the opener at Cartmel (7/2 fav on the Sporting Life tissue). A good 2nd last time was the first time he'd shown anything for ages (first time blinkers obviously did the trick) and, whilst that race was a right rogues gallery, he is...

Unstickied this as I guess it’s been paused

This seems like rewarding mediocrity and I'm sure the money could be put to much better use.

I thought this article would be of interest: https://www.racingpost.com/news/opinion/comment/its-one-of-the-finest-tracks-in-britain-so-why-are-some-of-the-fields-at-yorks-ebor-meeting-so-poor-aciYM4K6mr2z/

The winner of the 2.20 at York will earn nearly as much as the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner did. £338,821.00 for winning a 2YO conditions race - absolutely ridiculous and I've never understand why so much money is pumped into these "millions" race series.

Colin Keane shines again on Carmers <laugh>

The nonsense of self-inflating flat ratings and Ascot's Chmpions day is on display in the Juddmonte again. As a 6 year-old Anmaat won the Champions Stakes last October on soft ground (what a surprise) and was put up 8lbs by the handicapper (115 to 123 having been around 115 for the previous 2...

Some things transcend sporting rivalries and spiteful taunting. 5 minutes into the match between Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday the Owls fans, in a planned and publicised protest against the Chairman of the club, finally entered the stadium having left their seats empty up until that point...

Enjoy the game Nass. My shambles of a club will no doubt be bottom of the league tomorrow evening and stay there. Still sold out the away end though. Fans protest planned, none of them will enter the stands until 5 minutes into the match and there will be a huge protest banner placed over...

Shergar Cup day :emoticon-0119-puke:

Nice one <cheers>

Just watched it Bustino and I agree wholeheartedly - a wonderful film. Thanks for the recommendation <cheers>

Its not often that The Sun trumps the racing press with a story but they were the only ones to cover the departure of Minella Premier from Seven Barrows last week. Minella who? I hear most of you asking. Well he was one of the most talked about horses at the beginning of the 24/25 National Hunt...

Sad to hear that Thurles racecourse is to close. More grass roots racing gone.
