I was fortunate enough to work with Al for many years and it was an utter privilege.

He wrote about racing with a compelling mix of passion, verve and lyricism and I always found him a tremendous fella to deal with. I think he always relished finding a kindred spirit who loved racing.

How poignant that he was able to be there for the renaming of the press room at his beloved Cheltenham. That will have meant the world to him.

RIP, you top man.

Sweet whistling Geronimo. I only saw the updated scores just now.

Thanks again to everyone for the kind words.

Normal service will surely be resumed in the Saturday comp!

Thanks very much to Hot Fuss for running a superb comp.
And many congratulations to Over2U on a stellar win.
See you all next Saturday!

Thanks RTB – and thanks again to Raymo for running the comp.
I didn’t smash into my selections, but I did have a modest Heinz that’s given me a few bob to go to war with down at Plumpton on Monday.

Thanks Jac. I did get the first five up in the ITV7; on a day when the jackpot is £100,000, that does rather get the pulse racing.

I wish, Raymo…

Long way to go…
