    I was at the Newmarket horse racing museum this year, 4 racehorses there but none I’d heard of or I doubt anyone would have who didn’t follow low grade racing.

    Racing post stable tour had ferny but no nice guy.
    Ferny Hollow
    He’s making very slow progress but is making progress. If he comes back it’ll be towards the end of the season and we’re not going to rush a horse of his ability. We’ll let him take all the time he needs. It’s not ideal when you miss two seasons, but he has such ability we’re going to give him every chance

    Someone thinks he’s back but I’ve no idea how concrete it is –

    ‘He can go all the way’ – Five Willie Mullins horses to follow this season ⭐

    Yes, she was on the Nick Luck podcast earlier this week talking about it and Nick also talked to a guy who is testing out screening horses beforehand so you know their normal gait and the computerised system could then pick up changes before a race on screening.

    Hiya
    From the paywall article –
    The thing is, there was a rumour. At this time of year there often is. Not for the first time this week a leading festival fancy had been a notable betting exchange drifter. For a while on Saturday morning Betfair customers could back Jonbon to win the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at around 10-1. Did that mean something was wrong with the horse? Was a defection announcement imminent? Was he heading instead to the Ballymore?
    They’ve all asked me today and I’ve told them all the same – go and ask AP,” said a friendly but exasperated Henderson. “I’ve had ten people ask me since I came through the door. Does it surprise me? No. It’s the betting boys just playing games, isn’t it?

    Sorry to say, racing post live feed reported a freak accident falling in the brook in the middle of the course and breaking his back. Apparently not railed off so as not to attract horses.
