Morning, team.

I guess the 2 big talking points this morn are that (i) Dettori has, and I quote, 'cancelled his retirement' and (ii) the maximum field in the Grand National will now be 34 - down from 40.

Anyone expecting a quiet news day on the racing front, this Thursday, obviously didn't see these stories emerging!!!

Every other year there is changes. I've been saying it for years, once you give into any sort of change in the beginning it leads to an endless pit of possible changes in the future. They may as well remove every fence and reduce it to an 18 runner 4 mile handicap flat race. The grass might not be the right shade of Green even then for them.

Animal Rising comment in the aftermath was that they won't be happy until there is no racing at all and all the thoroughbreds have been turned loose on the Moor.

Can you imagine Rocky on the moors? He would be going into Mr Mcgregors garden hunting for carrots.
