Encourages fluid intake and helps restore blood volume by replacing the lost ions used to maintain it normally. Dehydrated horses go into toxic shock very easily.

Ridiculous it isn't allowed -...

Plenty they can do that's not so obvious on scope that might not get declared!

The twenty eight days straight also includes riders who insist on coming in on Sunday's to ride one horse but don't work a full day, literally therefor an hour or so. Same with the trips to Dubai etc...

Let's leave my beloved Champagne bar out of this, shall we? I agree the entrance building should have been left as it was though, it was lovely being greeted by the pre parade as soon as you set foot...

Glad I didn't make it, instead competing gundogs in sunny (!) Northern Ireland!

Has the parade ring horse walk been resurfaced? It looked a different colour on tv but that may have been all the...

I got the same pop up except my tolerance wasn't quite so high and I just told them it was ******* horrendous.

It's do with the timing of the splenic contraction horses can do to increase their blood volume and thus o2 capacity. In a relaxed horse it takes more adrenalin to occur than in a nervy type. So it...

Well done, and nice choice of stallion - his mum was an oddball but a lovely character.

I've got Ladies IF to Dandy Man, Fascinating Rock and one still incubating

If anyone over this side of the pond happens to be at the Ballymacad meet on Sunday I'll be one of the muppets who thinks pointing side saddle in the last race to qualify for the Diana's of the Chase...

I try to have them in situ 6 weeks before foaling so they have a chance to produce antibodies to whatever is floating around in that barn/stud and thus produce them in the colostrum so the foal is...

It doesn't because you can't super ovulate them like you can with say cows. There's no more manipulation with hormones for embryo transfer than for a normal breeding (either AI or live cover).

Harzand has been on antibiotics and in a foot wrap after the plate spreading incident - not the ideal prep.

Coolmore own plenty of Frankels - a quick scan down that list of two year olds gives you well into double figures from their mares....I can't imagine they're too worried

He 100% wasn't sound on parade afterwards - there was a moment where Pat glanced down and looked uncomfortable about being onboard still. Hopefully just feeling his foot.

I've got No Nay Never, Zoffany and Ruler of the World foals on the ground. One back in foal to Casamento, one to Dandy Man and the last is visiting Holy Roman.

They always send a handful out to various outside trainers.....never ones that are thought much of if you judge on the performances they produce on the track vs their Ballydoyle counterparts.

Just finishing the plans for our lot - using Holy Roman, Ruler of the World, Cacique and Dandy Man. Expecting a No Nay Never, a Zoffany and a Camelot. Will be selling a Zoffany and a Declaration of...

Some stud fees starting to come out for 2016 - I'm interested to see what Coolmore do with Zoff and Canford.

RP just broken this but Sheikh Obaid is moving his entire string including Postponed to Varian - about 23 horses plus the unraced two year olds. A serious blow for Cumani's stable.

I'll be around both days.

It seemed stronger than usual - if you had an early type.

While I'm definitely not a Jamie fan the stewards were far too harsh. Ortiz practically took his fillies back teeth out completely unnecessarily. It was the racing equivalent of diving in the box by...

So as predicted the rain will soften the ground enough to divert Gleneagles to the Juddmonte and a clash with Golden Horn. The conundrum....he carries 8-12. Who rides?

It would have been far more insulting to remove Lucy from the film. Pretending she never existed wont help anyone.

Equinome's speed/distance gene is an easy way to explain the current trend for wanting stallions with sprint speed....

There's two options in the gene - C = fast twitch/sprint speed, T = slow...
