    That was total bull that McCoy was going on about with “injuries” and Harry Cobden munching up the rides. She’s been cast out by the establishment, poor woman, good to see that pr*ck Robbie Dunne pulling up in same race….

    ITV have no clue- they’re doing great stuff showing the Stewards Enquiry but haven’t told the viewers that what the jockeys are seeing and talking about are different pictures to what they keep replaying on the screen !!!!!!! :unsure:

    Great post AP. But I thought this thread was going to be about that urban myth- “when did Good Friday fall on Easter Monday……”.

    Google says the closest to the reality was “Good Friday” falling on Boxing Day at Wolverhampton in 1899. https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-26064,00.html

    While it seems like the rain has been falling incessantly you’d also have to throw into the mix things like loads of blocked drains due to “austerity” and changes in farming, and also house building and road schemes moving traditional water courses. Racecourses were historically established where the ground was drained well enough to be always usable but now even with modern drainage methods if the water pours in from where it didn’t before you’re stuffed.

    It was quite crass to announce the death of Highland Hunter while the death wagon drove away in the background of the shot……….

    Mark Walsh was bucked off, that’s why they showed the vet there, they would have inspected the horse as well

    Isn’t the “sixth”/VI symbol for a 3/4 bred ?
