I'd say he will do everything he can to get his rating up but ensure it stays short of 145!

Paddy Brennan the jockey same day as Imperial Commander GC win?

Gold cup in the rain and was sure Denman was going to win with Mccoy on board, after Kauto faltered (the match up had been well built up). Bit moody after that.
Then Pigeon Island at 20-1 - Nigel back in the good books.
And we entertained everyone on the bus back into town by constant singing of "Stop the Pigeon"
Some weren't amused

I know the intentions are never malicious, but please can we put in the stocks, burn at the stake etc... anyone from this day forth who posts in the 'out of the festival' thread anything other than a confirmed piece of info about a horse being out for the season/retired/deceased that hasn't previously been mentioned?!

Enjoyable documentary last night about Barney Curley, focussing on his 1975 coup with Yellow Sam, as told by him. I have links below to RTE and BBC, but unsure if the BBC stream works, so apologies in advance if it doesn't - there should be a Youtube upload before long I hope also. Well worth an hour of your time to watch.

Really enjoyed that last night. Could have easily been a mini-series rather than just the one episode too. Never realised how close him & Frankie Dettori were and what an influence he had on his career as a young jockey.

Benie in foal to Walk In The Park. She might go for similar to what Apples Jade sold for to the Morans (530K)

Great innings and I suspect a wonderful fulfilled life
