If the talk that Ruling Court may not run in the Derby comes to pass, where does he go next? Stay at 1m for a rematch with Field of Gold in the SJP? Would be one silver lining to the dark cloud.

Where do you want to be drawn in the Derby? 🤔 Here's how each stall has fared in the Epsom Downs Racecourse Classic based on % of rivals beaten this century 🔍

What time are the fireworks this year?

In Ruling Court's absence, just noticed that Tennessee Stud is the only Group 1 winner going to post for the Derby.

As far as jockeys go, I don't think there is a better job going than the one Colin Keane has just got. The history behind the silks, but the bloodlines in the right hands that promise future success. He's going to ride a stack of Group 1 winners.

Obviously the draw in horseracing is generated at random, but in dog racing it isn't the case. How did they decide who got what stall for the Greyhound Derby as I noticed that cheap Sandwiches and Bockos Diamond have been in 5/6 pretty much throughout.

Looks one to follow.

Heading to Pulp tonight and need to swap 2 standing tickets for 2 seating tickets next to each other. Any shares appreciated

Interesting comments here on Never So Brave and why Wokingham might appeal more than Buckingham Palace. Potential knock-on effect for same owner's favourite More Thunder, too.

These marathon ARC cards are getting longer and longer....

As a rule, no

Some bad luck in France. 4mm water put on just hours before 13mm rain from thunderstorms.

Keeping things ticking over at the Leeds 10K. Good benchmark for a 12 week build to London's Big Half in early September.

Come on kids, we're off to the Showcase meeting at Cheltenham.

Every year - approach Royal Ascot handicaps with such clarity ante-post. Thrown in, laid out for it, loads in favour etc. At decs, realise there's at least another 6 that you could say the same for and another 10 you can make a good case for. Never learn.

On a week that will have many sweating like Bandari, there won't be a braver man at Ascot this week than him that has chosen to wear a pale blue shirt.

If you don't go the Eclipse John, we're finished, me and you.

Ground going to be much livelier for Utmost Respect than when he lagged up in the Silver Cup at Ayr nearly 20 years ago. You going top price again James?!
