Got me thinking when I’d first come across his name. 55 years ago he would have been preparing for a Derby ride on Beaming Lee, one of a few running at mega odds that Mill Reef year. He was prominent to Tottenham Corner.
The comical denial of awareness has raised the height of the bar once set by the late Tessa Jowell.
Haydock seems to get a lot of fixtures. The inevitable tinkering in aspiring to achieve desired going on a frequent basis can’t be helping.
I was interested to read of past shallow mining in the area. Probably not as great a risk of subsidence as in my local area but even so…
Should he be successful that would be yet another Labour leader in a London constituency. Not a great look.
I can’t see any great benefit in him standing down at the moment. He’s not done very well as PM but hasn’t disgraced himself on the international stage ( leaving Mandelson aside). A lot of discontent at home but I don’t see a replacement changing that in a hurry.
As for election losses, the Labour shower in the Senedd have brought in wildly unpopular aims and impositions and can consider themselves lucky to have lasted there as long as they did. Plaid Cymru backed most of what was put through and are very lucky to have escaped similar blame. Elected only as a counter to Reform who themselves have had some success as an antidote to some of the nonsense the progressives backed.
Kate and Andrew Brooks haven’t jumped ship yet as far as I’m aware. Not that they seem to have anything out of the ordinary now.
A jarring note on their ‘Race Tracks’ archive feature (quite apart from the Rick Astley track in the background.)
The spiel below the footage of the ’87 Scottish National stated it was Toby Balding’s Little Polveir. Would have had poor John Edwards choking on his cornflakes. Toby didn’t get the horse till shortly before the 1989 Aintree triumph.
Shame they don’t ask us old buggers about things like that.
I think I’ve heard the review panel sits for only 2 days a week which seems a huge shortcoming if this type of ruling is to be applied.
I’m not against disqualification in theory but this one hasn’t worked out well. Man of the moment Toby McCain Mitchell being the beneficiary for going just the two over.
I question the need for this sort of race on a major card. Conditionals seem to get plenty of opportunities.

So Patrick deserts Nick Rockett for Grangeclare West and Tom Bellamy is snapped up for Nick Rockett.
I find it hard to see the upside in either of the arrangements.
Nick Rockett not pleasing at home it seems.
I’ve backed Bellamy’s rides a few times and it’s been a very unhappy tale. Eclair Surf sadly lost, Broadway Boy somehow living to tell the tale and two other falls on his most recent forays. FFFF takes a bit of doing over the ‘brush hurdles’.
