Sad to hear the passing of broadcaster Henry Kelly. A true racing fan. He had it written into his contract at Classic FM that he wouldn’t have Cheltenham Festival week. RIP Henry.

Very sad to hear the passing of Robeta Flack,, stunning voice and another brick in my childhood RIP

Brian Campbell, incredibly in off the cush to win. Chapeau

Rubaud, tough cookie.

David Moyes, manager of the season.

Stewart Machin and Steve Mellish a very entertaining double act at Kempton on RacingTV at the moment. Talking racing cliches “older horse always need further” Machin “He’s 82 now let’s move the bus stop further down the road” 😂

Plenty of horses will have had what might be described as a ‘Cheltenham prep’ for the handicaps. Some stick out more than others. Pertemps entry Long Draw, with his 77 day break is high on that list

Anyone with news on Cheltenham Handicap entries? I thought they were due out today.

Fakenham card looking decidedly thin tomorrow. All the excitement of a 4 runner bumper.

He’s not going to run is he? #SirGino

Everytime a British racehorse trainer relocates to France, does that make them an economic migrant. Asking for a friend.

Today, this recreational Rugby pitch in Acton West London saw West Warriors lose 0-92 to top flight Rugby League side Leeds, in the Betfred Challenge Cup. It’s also the new home of the once top flight Union side Wasps.

I was a bit critical of a ride earlier in the week, incidents like this put things into perspective. Keeping everything crossed for Michael O’Sullivan tonight.
