It was wonderful to see him enjoying racing and finding a 5th gear just at the finish line like he does. Sam TD so humble all the time, nice to see one so polite.

That is such sad news. :(
I do understand why people are saying they ought to use a top jockey on Long Run, and even in the Racing Post connections have said that they know Sam is not as good as a professional jockey. So it...
My family & friends and I really feel it was an honour and a privilege to have been able to be at Kempton to see Kauto Star get his 5th King George. We have followed him from his infancy and marvel...
I'm really sad for Golden Silver, and for Paul who was tweeting how gutted he was and what wonderful days the horse had given him. We all know this can happen but it sure does not get any easier no...
I truly love Lough Derg. At home he shows he still loves his work, this reluctance to race was a shock, not expected at all. His owner adores him also. He has had hard races and always wanted to go...
Just read this - so sorry about this news. He was a fabulous racehorse, so brave and determined - and fast! It must have been a real pleasure to be associated with him, it was certainly a joy to just...
I loved Dubacilla. I saw henry Cole at a trainer's yard in August and he told me she had been put down a month or so ago. I think they could not even bear to tell people about it until now she meant...
Oh, thanks for that one. This could be interesting. :)
Really pleased Chester won - I was too late to vote too Troods but he looks magnifico! :D
It is a good card, wish I were going. I am interested to see how the Anthony Honeyball runner gets on today.
Not been on here in ages, and so much sad to read of late. Really hoped Bideford Legend would be okay, terrible. Flame, very sorry to read about Wavertree Princess. I knew her in her first owneship,...
Such a shame, was a promising horse and his connections had been very patient. Hard blow for the King yard.
crazyhorse re Aran Concerto:
Noel says he has injured his hock again and he his racing career is officially over but they are hoping that he will be ok to go back to the field to retire with his...
Yes, he broke down but I can't get any news about him. So sad. :(
I absolutely adored him. He lived to a great age, had a wonderful life and left us all so many memories - and more for the future no doubt.
But I am still sad at his passing. :(
I know he...
Hoping Tricky will be okay, he is a nice horse and would make someone a good hack.
Shame about Sir Gerry, really liked him too.
I did not back Binocular and am not even a fan, respect him though. But this is a real shame.
I don't understand how some substances are banned, something to treat an allergy does not appear to...
Took myself down to the bookies today so I could watch his race. Double each way result for forum connections as Crazyhorse was involved in the breeding of Bergo who also came 2nd.
Well done...
Yes, of course, I'd forgotten that Colin. Are you on the list of those who he dragged about? I always remember him as being very strong, and everyone says at one time or another he dragged them in or...
Hurricane Lamp put down in retirement aged 20. Much loved local legend round these parts, I'll miss him. :(
Seems it did not happen but was being talked about on course. We had some friends who had a horse in the race (pulled up) and the buzz from the jockeys,owners, trainers lads etc after the race was...
I agree that the race was not nice to watch, I was just praying that nothing died. :mad: But I have to hand it to the winning horse, he was so brave. As were they all.
I hear that the jockeys...
Yes, too terrible to even think about. And an only child. His poor parents.
I have a lot of time for David Pipe, always very friendly and humble, almost surprised about his successes. I've been to the yard a few times and they are very proud of their horses and all are well...
