Geldings in Arc debate will be quieter this year #nobollocksnoarc

“Off the turf” scares the grandkids more than anything, the yanks have a lot to answer for

Thought it was poor of Carlos Alcarez to mention Lady Aurelia and Mike Hallett when asked about his opponents performance, kick a man while he’s down

Every time I’m watching the 28/1 last leg of my each way treble

The local Hills doesn’t have Racing Post pages pinned to the wall anymore, only digital versions on screens. I’ve had to resort to ripping one of the screens off the wall and taking that to the pub with me instead

There’s actually not much I fancy today. Is there a helpline you ran ring when you fear you’re not gambling enough?

“Grandad, the last five days have done me in. I need a rest from punting”. “Bear up, it’s the Oaks d’Italia tomorrow”. They’ll never be free from the shackles of the Pattern

The lad had 50p on every runner with the Tote

My late father Wilf backed Hyperion in the 1932 Dewhurst

The news came through that Trinity College was a nichtstarter in the German Derby

I’m a fan of Francis Tiafoes ‘Big Foe’ necklace. It’s very similar to Andrew Baldings ‘Big Ding’ one, wonder if they had it done at the same place

I was supposed to be at Hamburg 2 hours ago. I left Brian in charge of taking us to the airport but he went to the lady riders meeting at Carlisle last night and he’s just phoned saying he’s in Keswick with no car and no shoes

I nearly choked on my scotch egg when Richard Hoiles called Andreas Wöhler ‘Andy’, he doesn’t call you Ricky, son!

Was at Team Wales & the West’s Racing League preseason training camp this morning and I wasn’t happy with what I saw. I know they’re two times champions but there’s no room for complacency, took three of the jocks on a five mile run round Hungerford and lapped two of them!

The finest penalty shootout since the Heath House five-a-side summer tournament of ‘98. Alborada took one and it broke Miss Rausings nose, she wasn’t even in Newmarket at the time

Only 4 runners in the King George has certainly dampened the mood on the Team Scotland coach to the first Racing League fixture at Yarmouth tonight. I tried to get “The Wheels on the Bus” going but nobody was having any of it

I personally think Wayne will settle Continuous in the rear

Just mowing my nephews lawn in Grove Park, Atlanta with my Racing League Wales & the West cap on and a young lad comes up to me and shouts “fuck the Angels”. Shocked, I shouted back “surely not on Tapeta, son?”. Only superficial wounds but I’ll be ok
