Ordinarily Power would probably have been in line for a good few for Elliott, but is only available on grade one days for now

Aiden Coleman announced yesterday as Olly Murphy’s stable jockey
Brian Hughes at evens for the jockey’s championship
Andrew Lynch has finally announced his retirement after being off since Jan 2019.
A top man I wish him well, he rode a lot of big winners .
Rarely seen now his weight allowance was guarded as long as Victram was running in those top handicaps , time enough for him to be cut loose after; this is rarely seen nowadays, which may not be of great benefit to the jockey longterm.

Good jockey slippers.
He won on In Bloom for us on her juvenile hurdle debut and we went home thinking she would run at The Festival for us.
Alas she got a hairline fracture and was never the same after, but those three weeks post race were pure bliss !
Best wishes to him for his future.

Did you breed from In Bloom subsequently, Ed?
"And still they gazed and still the wonder grew. That one small head could carry all he knew.
And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."
She was sold at sales a year later, we only had a lease on her.
One Westerner foal ran a p2p with little success so far.
Family of Anthony Van Dyck, El Gran Senor etc so delighted to have even a sniff of such a pedigree if only for 6 months.
To the delight of Colin Tizzard. Robbie Power will be staying in Ireland till travel restrictions lift.
I think that link is broken BoS. What was the article?
Sorry, on the phone so cant resend. Colm O'Donoghue was cleared in court yesterday over charges brought by his ex, she sounds like a complete bunny boiler, he is taking a civil case against her now.
...a jockey who went from hero to zero very quickly
Is now back at Ballydoyle so be of interest if he can resurrect his career though is 40 now
"The wise man is one who knows what he does not know"
He came into his own once he left Ballydoyle for Jessie.
It just shows how mud sticks and the guilty are far better off than the innocent in these cases as they get what they deserve.
Wishing him all the best ; his riding of Alpha Centauri was world class.

Just heard today that amateurs are not allowed ride abroad as they are not professional.
p2ps deferred for the same reason.
davy is due to sit on a horse again next week.
If not for envoi, I think he'd pack it in
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
