    Any news on Music Society?
    I emailed the trainer but he’s ghosting me after I mapped out a mediocre 22 run seson for him ending in The Prix de l’Abbaye

    The problem with getting young people interested in racing is that the majority have no personal feel about it
    For example you can walk up the park with a football or cricket bat and ball but you can’t really take a pony up the park and have a spin can you..
    If you have some kind of involvement you are more likely to form a bond with a sport. Horse racing can’t provide that for the price of a football can it.
    It would never happen and I’m talking a little nonsense here but how good would it be if every school adopted an ex race horse and the kids could muck it out etc, have races against other schools
    Yeh, back to reality and that is what racing is up against
    I still don’t see the major problem in attracting new people to the sport. How do they know who is attending anyway. Nobody has ever asked me when I go “are you new to the sport” seems a gimmick to spread the millions around pockets of the clueless people that come up with these daft ideas
    Talking of which, I hope I get the fast horse on school sports day … 😂

    Francesca is multi talented,
    racing presenter,
    paddock expert :rose: ,
    Fashion queen,
    part time air hostess

    I bet you didn’t know she is also a mobile hair dresser
    she turned up to my house and asked “how much do you want off”

    I told her to take the lot off but she is welcome to keep her shoes on… :scratch:

    “Albert Einstein might run next weekend and we always thought he could be a Coventry horse, we thought this could be a Norfolk horse (Charles Darwin) but he needed to learn. He was green and babyish and he has to be just caught hold of today. That’s why we were here with him and we’re delighted.”

    The runner up might prove to be better than the odds suggested today, still looks like all systems go although Simply Astounding was well beat. Was there any news on her? Ryan was very easy on her once the bird had flown

    I wouldn’t be overly concerned about Darwin Nunez… Aidan had 3 odds on shots turned over today so maybe the yard has hit a dip in form
    Charles Darwin was quickly away and compare his run to that of his debut he is much more professional. I wonder if Ryan has let the other horse get in front of him deliberately to half force a duel as we hear Aidan likes his two year olds to learn something new. Fairy Godmother springs to mind last year. Darwin pulled readily clear by the end. Ascot is a stiff course so 5f with a decent pace, I wouldn’t say is not his race but also I could see something may be too quick for him at the same time.
    Interestingly Blackbeard ran in the Coventry but had less runs than Charles Darwin at this stage and Little Big Bear took in the Windsor Castle.

    The penalty save was huge
    And with it being Palace’s first ever trophy the crowd scenes were magical to be fair

    True but if Simply Astounding beats her the bookies are bound to be a sea of blue.. I’m only playing with small stakes from the Chinese lad winning the snooker so nothing to really lose
