    Appleby won’t care either way – treble for him at Newbury today.

    “Not sure it is fair to single out Appleby. You could ask the same questions about other trainers.”

    CAS sums it up there. Same applies to jockeys, too.

    “Trainers in form” is important any time of year but – on the flat – particularly so at this time of year.

    “A lot of them are ex public school, not smart enough to work in the City, not even smart enough to become a Conservative MP, so they go into racing and train horses.”

    Made me think of this lot (note how the going is described as “firm under foot”):

    Doesn’t matter if you’re upper, lower or middle class; still got to train the horses.

    Loved that video CAS could imagine some of those runners also recruited straight from the Stewards Room. :wacko: not half a brain cell between them.

    Slightly off subject but this video is a classic..Native Trail look away now…

    O’Brien had proved he was a top trainer before going to Ballydoyle….
