His rating gets in him plenty of big hcaps, that's enough for Gordy to sell the dream to one of his owners.

Lets Talk Racing episode out with Skelton, good insight into his train of thought. Name dropped quite a few of the yard favs/unraced horses: Grey Dawning, Nurse Susan, Gaia Du Gouet, Unexpected Party, Ballygrifincottage, Lac De Constance, L'Eau Du Sud, Mr. Hope Street.

My Drogo wont be seen till the spring.

Anyone who's pre-ordered Jumpers to Follow, you might be getting it earlier than next week.

I've had an email with my log in details and password to view it......BUT.....

It's not working

They've sent me a further email to say they are having technical issues with their digital publishing portal and will issue a further update in due course.

EDIT - I mean the digital version of course

I think they've always said the digital one would be available two days before the physical copy. Maybe they sent some emails out a bit early? Haven't heard anything from them myself...

The Queen seemed a nice lady and did a lot for the country (was well paid and got some nice pads as well though)

But abandoning racing is a bit annoying.
And almost certainly not what she would have wanted.

Just read the London Bridge plans on the Guardian for planning the aftermath of her death - all the brothers and sisters will have had to kiss Charles' hand apparently, that's a bit weird

He's got big fucking sausage hands as well.
Met him on Isles of scilly once. Our lass patted Camilla on the shoulder and the secret service guys got proper twitchy.

Very sad day, worked right till the end to fulfil her duties.
End of an era.

Don’t think it would ever happen, but if anyone deserves the honour after years of scraping the barrel for sponsors the Gold Cup in some way could be named after Her Majesty, although Queen Elizabeth II Gold Cup doesn’t quite have the natural ring, it would be rightly deserved.

No scratch of the day or bonus drop from Hills today, they’re taking the news hard.

Edit: found the scratch!
