    I watched that jockey butcher Rachel Alexander in the Woodward last year and he’s done the same there on Super Saver. He may be a champ over the pond but I wouldn’t let him on a Blackpool beach donkey. Animal Aid would have a field day if a jockey did that over here.

    And while I’m on about Blackpool donkeys I wouldn’t run one on that muck that passes for a racetrack in Kentucky. How they can run any race on it, much less a so called classic is unbelieveable.

    This will be shown on RTE1 on Tue 16th March at 10:15 for anyone in Ireland who hasn’t seen in. I heard some people complaining on the radio today about the subtitles being used because of the Wexford accent. Lucky they didn’t use a Cork/Kerry trainer.

    As for the swearing, it’s everyday language over here in Ireland, in all walks of life and all levels of society. I’m sure members of the BBC trust would have heart failure if they heard the language that is allowed on radio and tv here at all hours of the day. Very few words would be regarded as forbidden. A government minister even used the f word against an opposition politician in the Dail (Irish parliament) recently.
