    Outwardly extrovert displays of camp-ness always screams "Gay" to me.
    But I appreciate that may be me being unfairly judgemental and stereotyping.
    I therefore apologize unreservedly to you, Marble, ............................ and to all the other campish members of TalkingHorses.

    That edition of the ML this morning must have been the most boring hour of TV ever conceived and delivered. I suppose today's cards hardly gender excitement, but who booked those guests?

    Rte have a show on at 9.35 tonight following a racehorse owner for a year
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Going to the sales with deep pockets and by the look of it, little expertise is a recipe for disaster.

    Not sure how good the Stacks look coming out of it

    A lot of editing to put a three year experience involving six horses in one hour of tv.
    To be fair he did not do badly with two decent horses out of six.

    I thought he came across as a self obsessed shallow prick, TBH. Sad to see Lucy Stack in so many shots. Why would they keep her in the film, don't get it.

    Apart from that the programme bored the arse of me.

    Exactly, he only lost about a third of his investment, he did bloody well but didn't seem to be aware of it. He was down in the mouth that he hadn't got a Gr1 winner.

    The kids sticking their fingers up at the big shot in the Merc was the highlight for me.

    Great to see Robbie Mc on RTE today. The way he has taken this setback is inspirational stuff. In great form on this and on the podcast previously.

    RTE's budget would be far less than CH4's and aside from their love of Tracy Piggott and fashion segments they do a generally fine job covering racing

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