How did she get the Chester gig after her various Newcastle clangers?

I never realised there were so many Irish meetings until they were dumped onto RTV

Gradually all the components that used to make the RP worth buying are deteriorating and the latest is the pre race write ups.

Noticeable that they didn’t bother to send anyone to Newbury on Saturday although that led to more horses being shown at Ayr.
Is this due to budget cuts or so save money to pay the wages of a certain egotistical ex jockey this summer?

Sounds like Sandown have a difficult balancing act with the watering for this weekend.massive amounts being needed to keep the chase course good but that may not suit the flat people in the areas where the courses cross so it could be good to firm in places on Saturday

More disappointing viewing figures for ITV,even allowing for different methods of viewing,the figures suggest the public are not buying ITVs pretence that the race is still the same

Ah yes that well know NH expert Leonna.i can still remember when Oli asked her on The Opening Show the Saturday before Cheltenham what was going to win The Gold Cup and she anxiously looked to the floor as if she hadn’t a clue what was running in it

Rest assured it will be everyone’s fault except those that drew up the starting procedure..the BHA!
The 2m4f start for example has been in the same place for decades

My dad always wore a trilby to the races and never owned a flat cap so no idea why I took a shine to them at an early age.maybe its because it helped me get away with traveling on a coach trip to The Grand National alone aged 13

Have worn a flat cap to every days jumping I’ve been to since my teenager days 40 odd years ago

Can’t help but feel sorry for long-standing raceday presenter Anthony Kemp who clearly has been told to dump things down by the clueless lot at JCR

[runandskip84]

The fact that JCR executives want The King George at Aintree shows how clueless they are when it comes to racing and explains the mess they have made of things in recent years

What are the odds on Constitution Hill being successful in that “random” ballot?

Just to illustrate how valuable racecourse land is in the south east,Ascots two car parks at the east end of the high street 5a & 6 have been sold for development.
“Ascot gardens” might prove to be an ideal place for the racing enthusiast although where that leaves car parking at The Royal Meeting I don’t know

Can imagine the English trainers are looking forward to seeing all these top Irish horses having hard races on bottomless ground 5 weeks out from The Festival

[runandskip84]

Would rather show a coked up invades sand pit evening it would seem

Was there nobody at Wetherby with a brain cell that could have held their race for 2 minutes? Or is it because they didn’t get a phone call from the BHA who didn’t think of it either?
