    I like to record the big Australian meetings and speed through them when I get a chance .I find the coverage fascinating -insightful paddock analysis and meaningful interviews with connections post race.It's never about any one individuals personality- purely about the racing.
    For some bizarre reason Gina Bryce turned up on the show last week -maybe they wanted a lightweight piece of fluff as a distraction to the serious business of 4 Group 1's.She is as bad as Tanya.

    I thought CH4 were absolutely superb in capturing the emotions of Sherwood and Hemmings - they just left it flow -Clare Balding would have interfered too much.Very obvious that Sherwood was told to run the horse -just shows that it's an inexact science.

    Agree. Also handled the "distressed" Many Clouds situation well

    Trevor Hemmings is no mug, and buys horses specifically to aim at the National. Probably vindicates Grassy's judgement of the trainer, though.

    Trainer Ted Walsh takes a break from the Turf Club hearing at the Curragh into the running of Foxrock at Punchestown last December. Judgement has been reserved in the case. Photograph: Niall Carson/PA

    The Turf Club has reserved judgement after a day-long hearing into the running of the Ted Walsh-trained Foxrock at Punchestown in December.
    The hearing concluded at 7.45pm on Saturday evening after evidence was heard throughout the day at Turf Club headquarters at the Curragh.
    Trainer Walsh and rider Adrian Heskin were originally interviewed following the race, in which Foxrock finished third, with the local stewards hearing from the on-course veterinary officer that the horse had lost both front shoes during the race.
    The only action taken was to suspend Heskin for one day for failing to report the matter.
    Fresh video evidence subsequently became available to the regulating body, prompting the reopening of the inquiry in front of the Turf Club’s Referrals Committee.
    The hearing started at 10am, with Grand National-winning trainer Walsh, who was represented by former attorney general and minister for justice Michael McDowell, giving evidence for around an hour and 20 minutes.
    Trainers Aidan O’Brien and Willie Mullins were among the expert witnesses called, together with several vets and farriers.
    After the hearing finished Turf Club chief executive Denis Egan said: “There were 19 witnesses called, seven from the Turf Club and 12 from the other side. There were two inquiries, the original race and post-race.
    “Judgement was reserved and will be communicated in writing to both parties.
    “There is a volume of evidence to consider.”[/QUOTE]

    A big case. Ted has former AG and Minister for Justice Michael McDowell acting for him, and he's dragged in Aidan O'Brien and Willy Mullins as witnesses.

    It is been taken more seriously than imagined.

    Walsh is usually quick enough to bash politicians,
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Big hitters indeed. You would not imagine Mr McDowell having too much knowledge of Ted having "ridden his/her mother " in his time, or indeed the relevance of the statement for that matter.

    It reads like an episode from Flurry Knox. A gallery of charming rogues bamboozling authority.

    In short for those of you with more interesting life's than me

    The 10 page report boils down to

    Walsh doesn't like us, we know he is guilty but cannot 100% prove it

    They also got worn down by attrition it seems having to listen to cameo appearances from A P O'Brien, W P Mullins and others saying things like "Oh yes, horses often lose shoes. And they're forever tripping over their laces because they refuse to tie them. You know, I once knew a horse that lost its shoes every time it went out to have a smoke...".

    I judge Barry Connell to be a pure straight shooter. Not sure how impressed he will be with the [reported alleged implied] shenanigans in this.

    And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

    The horse should of been taken off Walsh for not winning the PP at Xmas when laid out for it
