    Anyone have any ideas when this is this year. Its usually about this time but have heard nothing of it this year. Surely can’t have slipped under the radar.

    Taken from The Daily Mail 6th April

    LEADING trainer Aidan O’Brien normally has a media day at his Ballydoyle stables around this time to preview his hopes for the Flat season. But it’s unlikely to take place, with O’Brien still furious at the Racing Post for printing his hesitant answers verbatim, after asking him about jockey Kieren Fallon’s future with his yard after the High Court race-fixing case against him collapsed.

    Bit of a shame really, its usually quite interesting, hopefully the information should gradually feed through anyway.

    O’brien should know he can’t avoid the media forever, not when his words are adverts for the stud potential of horses his employers are trying to sell.

    Thank you once again Lee Smuttershead, how this guy is still allowed to write for the trade paper is beyond me. His inside special on Sunday exemplifies the extent of his capabilities.

    Sean I don’t think Ratpack is Richard as he posts under his own name in this forum and also that post does not seem his usual style.

    ratpack is his BF forum name.

    He has posted this info on this forum previously in case anyone thinks I’m "outing" him!

    As I have stated before on here, I am not Richard Hoiles, and as blue chariot alluded to it would not be Richard Hoiles style to slate a fellow member of the press/media nor very prudent to be seen to be doing so I’d imagine!! I have no connection to Richard in any way shape or form, but I for one think he is one of the better guys out there on both the commentary and punditry scene.

    In response to what LM’s column on Sunday was about, it was sensationalising the fact that Jamie Spencer and Francesca Cumani are the faces of racing promoting Harvey Nicholls ladies evening this summer at Haydock.

    Why is Jamie Spencer promoting Ladies evening? Wouldn’t his wife been better?
