Still not convinced that Davy should be coming back to be honest the man has taken so much punishment, there is only so much the body can take.
Four winners at Chester for 5lb. claimer Adam Farragher. Quite an achievement and I have to admit, a totally new name to me.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
Is Paul Townend injured? No rides in the last ten days.

Thanks.
Just seen on the Racing Post that jockey Matt Griffiths is in a stable but critical condition in hospital after a fatal car crash not far from me. No other details but thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. He’s a lovely lad.

A friend updated me this morning. Matt has internal bleeding, head injuries and multiple fractures The other lad in the car was sadly killed.

Oisin Murphy saying on twitter that failed jockey breath test so not allowed to ride today. Can't help thinking really hope this is not second episode in slippery slope for him.
Vote Alfie!!!!
Big spread in the Sunday Times today RACING’S DIRTY SECRET - Revealed: the shocking bullying allegations made by jockey Bryony Frost that the sport doesn’t want to talk about. Apparently an investigation report was submitted to the BHA in April who informed Dunne that there were formal charges against him under the rules of racing and that an oral hearing before a disciplinary tribunal would consider the case. The BHA have refused to comment on whether or not this hearing has taken place.
Jocks in the wars both sides of the water today.
Hope all are ok
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

Outrageous that he was even nominated after earning a whip ban for the ride. Shame on Russell and Berry.
The older I get the better I was.

This is a shocker. Not only can a race be won by ignoring the whip rules but such a ride can get further recognition it seems.
Sadly not without precedent I think (although I might be misremembering) didn’t Patrick Mullins get some plaudits after beating Rathvinden half to death
