Slightly off topic but I get the feeling that the dodgepot that is Denmark is very talented but is determined not to share it with the punters.
He trained and had a small stud near Wilmslow Cheshire.
A bit off the beaten track as very little else around there these days.
RIP Franny.When I first saw the name I assumed that it was the staying chaser that Trevor Hemmings owned a few years ago.
RIP to the younger bearer of the name.
If we are to remember her at her beloved Royal Ascot it should either be in the Gold Cup or maybe the race that I still call the Cork & Orrery.
The Jubilee title seems somewhat redundant now?Mel Rowley definitely one to keep on the right side of.
Tim Easterby I like on his Southern raids particularly in soft ground Nurserys.
Sea Pigeon was the best hurdler to have run in the race but earlier than dates under consideration.
Blushing Groom belongs on list of best non-winners.Had to laugh recently when after Battleground’s recent Goodwood victory she was commenting on the horse’s pedigree.
She correctly identified and praised Found as the dam but was disappointed that War Front was the sire. That, she opined, would damage Battlegrounds’ stallion prospects saying that she would have preferred the horse to be by Galileo.
As Galileo is already the damsire I doubt such a closely inbred stallion would find much favour.
I must agree that the ‘Pure Theatre’ theme music and visuals (and the incidental music come to that, bloody Chandelier) is rank bad. Bring back the ’70s ITV Racing theme tune
=========================Can I speak in defence of the theme tune which I regard as being stirring and well crafted? It’s the visuals that accompany it that are corny and need binning.
I enjoy watching Ed, Blake, Weaver and Ruby. Francesca’s OK but drops a fair few clangers and the thought of her and the dreadful Oli Bell practicing bedroom gymnastics put me off my kedgeree.
Oli, Alice, Harvey, Persad and McCoy add nothing for me.
Always hoped he’d be a top performer but ended up a “nearly” horse.
Sorry to see you go, old boy.Remember being present to witness him laughing at the Aintree fences about 25 years ago.
Wonderful horse.RIP The Hustler.
He was a pretty good jockey, mostly riding as understudy for the Rimell’s winning the Queen Mum on Another Dolly when Chinrullah was stood down but he was probably even more distinguished in his great efforts in raising the status of Perth from a gaff track to a prestigious venue for Scottish Racing. An MBE was deservedly awarded to Sam for his innovation and hard work.
RIP Sam.
My favourite NH Horse of the last 30 years.
Better put down than living in misery but still a sad, shocking piece of news.
