Would that be the topically-named FROZEN POWER?

Not sure where else to put this, but any news following SHANE ROCK, PU "injured" after the third at Clonmel in the Beginners' Chase, please? He was out of shot when whatever went wrong occurred. ...

Plumpton's: 9th March, drinks reception 6.45 pm, dinner 7.15, lounge suits, £50. Panel: Gary Moore, Mick Fitzgerald, Mark Winstanley, Richard Hoiles, George Primarolo (Betfred PR Manager). Tel 01273...

Facile win (No.8) by PIPERS PIPING under Leonna Mayor just now at Southwell, for Flame, @ 4-1. Horse is out again tomorrow at Wolves in an Apprentices race, and should be fresh enough for that.

Thanks, Colin - it certainly shows that NH is very much no longer the poor sister to the Flat in producing extremely good sales figures, particularly for young horses.

Anyone who missed Rubicon, a nice twisty little thriller set in the American Intelligence world, can catch re-runs starting tonight at 11.20 pm on Beeb Two. This is unsplashy, pared-down stuff with...

See - our very own Zenyatta already foresaw that! It's that Zen intuition, of course.

Don't mind headstrong, though - rather that than the stuttering CUE CARD (the Tizzards have got to correct that!) - if he likes dominating his field at all costs, and remains accurate over the...

You can imagine the mummy monkey saying to her little one, "Now stop that humanning around, Bobo, and behave yourself." God knows that our bad behaviour is worse than any animal's, since we pride...

:lol::lol::lol:

I love that! Christ, he wouldn't be the sort of horse on which to start losing your bottle! Really required to be controlled - could've been just let fly and might then have run...

Oh, yes, I'm well acquainted with 'Dogs of the Turf', Grayson! It's applied enough times for Flat, turf and AW, and anything with obstacles included. In fact, as you'll see on here, most losing...

Intuitive, sentimental, mystical, and statistical, for starters! :D

Zenyatta has suggested the 2m novice at Aintree (not Cheltenham at this stage), Links. (See post above.)

Sounds like a plan, Zen - that would be fabulous to see. Horse is so agile, skips across the ground, and looks like he is thoroughly engaged with his work at all times. Got to be a joy to be on a...

I don't think you understand what I meant by dog. Dog, as in a verb, not a noun. I know QC wasn't a dog, I was implying that, like a terrier, he would doggedly follow the field through thick and...

Sure did, Links - the Rubester's arms must be 2" longer now! But not through being naughty - just keen as mustard to get going... and going... and going! Like Bob Cooper said, why give a 150-rated...

SANCTUAIRE!! 6 y.o. French bred and initially run hurdler with Nicholls, gallops superbly with long, flowing action and soars over all bar perhaps two in his inaugural novices' chase at Taunton just...

There's no point pursuing a horse's career, is there, Aragorn, if you allow it to develop a serious jumping fault like that? Lengths and lengths lost, not to mention the very real possibility of...

Thanks, Steve. It was indeed a very strange performance and I wondered if he'd been pronounced sore somewhere, maybe back/shoulder, to be favouring going off on the diagonal like that?

No probs at Plumpton, it was just -1C last night, they've had the take-off/landing covers on for a few days, too.

Or BEAVER PATROL?

Who was it who treated us to the sight of him pinning his hapless pilot's legs after pitching over? Interesting manoeuvre to release the lad - one person per horse leg, heave horse onto back, yank...

She'll be running out of body room soon, with eight already and DENMAN still to come!

I had a thoroughly enjoyable day out in Irish Stamp's company at Charing. Unlike some horsey events, this was a very egalitarian affair - I was expecting to hear braying accents and be overwhelmed...

Some of us, though, don't watch racing for betting. We watch it because we simply like it. If you're betting properly, I'm sure you're bringing in way more than enough to pay for RUK. But for those...
