I swear I wasn’t looking for attention, folks :biggrin: <br>but thanks all the same Reet Hart, Matron and Trackside for your kind words :) It was just a scare, I hope………… ( knock on wood)

Sue Montgomery and Brough Scott look forward  to the 2006 King George V1 Chase
Alan Lee sounds an optimistic note on integrity in racing in his  Times diary.

I can’t share that optimism as long as you have  paltry prizemoney  in so many races; three yesterday at Kempton with under two grand at stake for the winner just for example! With such amounts dwarfed by the tens of thousands being bet on these same races it defies belief that all runners are targeting these races and that there is not regular low-level corruption. So called "matches"  in very moderate contests must also present opportunities for the unscrupulous.
