I liked the old-style commentaries of watching horses round the parade ring and on the way down to post. You managed to get a glimpse of every animal, usually with an informed comment on each one. Or...

FAREER for me - to have an interest in a runner in a big race through the personal connection of a social networking site was a thrill. But to see him win! Unforgettable.

It goes without saying...

My sister has a place near Ffos Las, you can get there in ninety minutes or so from Cardiff, given a clear run on the M4.

Sorry Gazella, no. I've been mulling over whether or not I wanted to watch any summer jumps given the high level of injuries lately. I then saw that Chris Grant's NGONG HILLS was running at Wetherby...

I grew up on a street that faced public parkland and just about every house in the street owned a dog at some stage. Blackie and Rex (both male) were regularly to be seen having fun on the fields...

So if they go through with this stunt and a horse goes apesh*t on the track with catastrophic results, who carries the can? If I'd entered a horse in the race and it was then announced that this...

That is a shame. Fingers firmly crossed for Ffos Las.

I just about held the tears back when I heard this on the radio. I rate Claire as quite simply one of our best new-ish broadcast journalists. It was so ironic she was castigated for unkind comments...

I clicked on your Flickr link GS, I loved the pics, but particularly the three sepia or b/w architectural ones, ironically. I've seen far worse win prizes.

Well done for having a go anyway - people really seem to enjoy these comps, I wish I a) knew more b) had more time and c) could trust my memory in order to participate.

I had a hollow little laugh at that but it turns out that Uncle Goober is psychic ...

"Trainer David Hayes said he was in favour of taking out the final hurdle in the home straight, as in...

I tried four times last night to post mine - here we go again!

Kauto Star's and Well Chief's respective comebacks, one from defeat and one from injury.

AP's wonderful wins on Wichita Lineman...

Having seen a pic of Black Sam Bellamy and looking at Sea The Stars Urban Sea had the knack of producing beautiful progeny, for sure. Not just beautiful, but talented too. A lovely story.

I wish him the very best. One of my colleagues had quite severe head injuries from a car smash some seven years ago and recovery was a long process. She had to learn to read again but in the process...

After today's horrors I'm crossing fingers even more firmly. King Barry had caught my eye too, but with losing the lovely Percutant today Ferdy Murphy's Nine De Sivola gets my sympathy vote.

I can remember reading a lovely article on James Bowe and Limestone Lad in the Sunday Indo quite a few years ago and following that I always kept half an eye on his horses. He came across as a really...

It would be good for Nine De Sivola to win as he had bad 'seconditis', yet after the Grand and Irish Nationals one feels ANYTHING could happen. (Please, dear God, don't let that 'anything' be...

Now that's it's been revealed that Hayley had bleeding on the brain you can understand why they took the decision. When you look at what happened to Natasha Richardson after an apparently simple fall...

Rhyme and Reason to have gone on the deck as he should have done in the 1988 National and Durham Edition to have won it. Or to have won the 1990 National from Mr Frisk... it would have bankrupted...

How did I miss seeing these earlier? I just choked with laughter and now have tears pouring down my face ... thank you!

I hope that On Raglan Road will join Inglis Drever at Andrea and Graham Wylie's place, if that is right for him, it's good news that he isn't dead. Fingers crossed that he is able to recover enough...

What posts a YouTube video on other forums doesn't seem to work here, but for anyone who is interested there is now a better version of Christy Moore's Ballad of Ruby Walsh on YouTube.
Here are the...

I can vividly remember watching Arkle before one of his races on TV -those who have seen it will know the clip I mean - where the wonderful Clive Graham (BBC paddock commentator who died many years...

That was worth joining this forum for. Thank you so much for taking the time to post these. Some of the shots just made my jaw drop, particularly the two of Master Minded and the Diamond Harry pic. I...

That's good to hear - it just isn't coming over as much on TV as it used to.
