    The news none of us wanted to hear. A young and talented young man has lost his life and the racing world mourns his loss.
    Condolences to his family and friends coping with his loss and yet having already consented to his organs being donated to help others.
    He will be sadly missed.
    R.I.P Michael 🌹

    Great to hear the good news about baby Leo Graham, you must be so relieved. :rose:

    I took a day off from the racing today as the card looked so lacklustre. I was hoping Native Approach would run a decent race today and come home for Nick but in the end Creative Story was far superior and very impressive.
    Let’s hope the Meydan card improves from now on.

    Just 200 points in the Bonus Race, I hope everyone was on. :good:

    Good luck for tomorrow’s competions all.. :good: Jac x

    Best of luck with Native Approach tomorrow Nick :good:
    I don’t think the card looks at all inspiring and may refrain from having a bet.
    May change my mind as the afternoon wears on but at this moment no bets from me.
    I have Native Approach in my Godolphin stable so will be cheering him home and may risk my £10 free bet with Paddy on a Rev.Forecast with Creative Story.

    She’s a gorgeous girl Catherine and love the name Suki.💜 thanks for sharing.

    Yes Emergency Ward 10 remember it vaguely but always preferred Dr.Kildare and Ben Casey.. :heart:

    Moe..It’s great that your Sciatica went away eventually. Mine is more deep-seated in the sacral muscle and could take a lot of hot and cold compresses and stretching before it resolves.It’s been 37 days since it came on.

    John..Hope you’re feeling better and many thanks for reminding us of the Bonus Race. :heart:

    Graham..nobody deserved to be Poster of The Year more than you..you always go the extra mile and you’re always there to offer help and advice to others even when you have been suffering in silence yourself…that has not gone unoticed.
    We were all over the moon when you won 🏆

    Oh Moe I know how you feel I’ve been doing a lot of pottering these past 6 weeks :wacko: …I saw the physio today and he diagnosed a problem with the Sacral Muscle deep in your bottom, I cannot describe how painful it is to walk I nearly passed out in Tesco today, I think its home deliveries for a while. :wacko: He’s given me a strict excercise routine of stretching and hot and cold compresses on my lower back and right thigh 3 times a day and says there should be some improvement in 2 weeks but I must carry on until things get better could be 4-6 weeks..I’m determined to do it and get to The Craven Meeting that’s my goal so watch this space. I’m going to be a right pain in the butt to live with and that’s official.. :good:

    Sleeping in the wrong position is what I was doing wrong Moe he told me to sleep on my back to relieve pressure. I’ll give it a go.

    Looking forward to Meydan Racing on Friday..I had to send Godolphin an email as they hadn’t awarded any points for Symbol Of Honour..not just to me but quite a few players. They contacted me this morning to say they had put it right. :good:

    Catherine did you very get your extra swap back? I hope so..
    Best of luck with your new puppy. What have you called her and what breed is she? I would so love another dog ❤️.

    Praying that he get’s over this, such a beautiful horse. Nicky Henderson has been so unlucky with his top horses being off with injury.
    The main thing he recovers and if his racing career is over let’s hope he gets to spend a happy retirement with his owners.
    Come on Sir Gino this is your biggest battle yet :rose:

    Hi all.. don’t talk about cabin fever Catherine I have been 6 weeks with a trapped nerve..sitting and walking painful. Took 3 weeks to get a physio appointment, seeing him today and pushing for a scan to see what is going on. Suspected something called piriformis pressing on sciatic nerve.
    But at least I can drive I just hope it gets better soon with help. Painkillers help but not the answer.
    Lucky you having a new puppy (so jealous 🤗)and know how time consuming they are but the rewards are great and you will have a friend for life. I do want another dog I miss my two lovely shelties so much. :heart: both lived to 12 years of age so 24 years of having a dog. Enjoy every moment. :heart:
    I did try to message you about the late Bonus Race Catherine but in messaging your name only partially appears and I couldn’t click on it to send a PM…maybe something to take up with Admin if you have trouble receiving PM’s .

    Graham what a great honour to be Poster of the Year and King of the Dublin Racing Festival…we are in exalted company 👑 🤴 hope you are feeling a bit better that was an awful thing to to through, glad the pills are doing their thing.

    Catherine…we definitely need some ‘pupdates’ to cheer us all up..🐕🐶x Jac

    That was pretty easy for Arabian Light wasn’t it Nick :good ..
    Kalidasa did’nt seem happy in the final furlong and dropped back. :scratch:

    Hoping New London can score in the 5.00 but first I have a little EW on Olympic Candle in the next to bring the form back for the SBS yard. :good: I think he just might. :yes:
