    “What price it doesn’t make 20 …”

    The ground staff have been very busy today, assumedly checking for any damage after the recent work.

    I passed the racecourse at approximately one o’clock and they were out then; they took a bit of a break but are back now.

    Edit: the sprinklers have now been turned on for about 100 yards after Tattenham Corner and into the straight.

    Second edit: they are also watering the 5f chute, although nothing up the hill from Tattenham Corner.

    Thought this thread would be about Everton.

    My condolences to the horse’s connections.

    Storyville is excellent. Two of my favourite episodes were “Mr Nobody Against Putin” and “Sanatorium” – both are well worth a watch.

    I always used to get the Magic Roundabout theme tune in my head when I saw Brian The Snail was running. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

    Agree with Ruby and LD here: Dubai Millennium was a very good horse, but not a great. Timeform’s 140 rating was a bit of a stretch, in my opinion.

    Still waiting for an answer to my previous question: how would a Farage government improve your life?

    I could start a very long digression here, HDLG, but I won’t.

    “The reason jockeys still use the whip when they are well clear on the run in is that they are…”

    Allowed to.

    Are a way of controlling the public by pretending to be authoritative.

    Discuss.

    “As for appearance it amused me that Jeremy Corbyn had something of a makeover on becoming leader”

    A sad reflection on the superficiality of modern society.

    Someone who can’t do up their duffle coat or someone who was hell-bent on stripping society to its bare bones?

    Tough choice.

    “Mullins has 5 of the 6 for the Gold Cup”

    Four of the five declared for the Champion Chase on Tuesday, too. How come Elliott cannot get any of his young horses to progress to Grade One level over fences? His lack of top-class senior chasers will cost him the title again.

    It’s not entirely beyond the realms of possibility that the episode was staged to boost his abysmally-low ratings.

    Queen of the South – up north
    Queens Park _ there used to be a Queen’s Gardens in Croydon, but they didn’t play there
    St Mirren – in Helen’s garden
    St Johnstone – in Jimmy’s garden
    East Fife – somewhere east of West Fife
    Hibernian – okay, they’re Edinburgh
    Heart of Midlothian – so are they
    Cove Rangers – in a cove somewhere
    Spartans – don’t know where they play, but Gerard Butler is their captain
