    Seems to be in woeful form. Hamilton runners tonight were awful. Don’t know if anyone else has noticed?

    Think I will avoid for a bit.

    He is someone I avoid anyway so would not know if he was in or out of form.

    He’s just on a bad run isn’t he? For a guy who’s trained a Derby and Oaks winner in the part decade, it amazes me the lack of quality horses and owners he attracts. I suppose it’s a very competitive industry and you’re only as good as your last winner.

    I’m not sure the Queen would relish being described as not being of a certain quality! :)

    He did manage to train both a Derby (Motivator) and an Oaks winner (Sariska) but does seem to have been in the wilderness for a couple of years now.

    Wouldn’t be surprised to see him turn out a big priced winner at the Royal Ascot meeting next week, he has a few good entries and hope things turn around for him.

    6 turf winners so far this season. Often goes a month or two without a winner and not a yard i follow. Not sure why Spencer rides so many horses for them when he’s contracted elsewhere either. Surely better to have someone more focused on their stable

    Spencer now rides very few of Bell’s horses Hayley does a lot of travelling for him with little return

    In recent times I have not been able to think of Michael Bell without the hapless blood relation of his "Oli" coming to mind. Which is a terrible thing.

    Has now split with Turner, I hope that was her call and not his, would be very harsh if she’s been sacked.
