    According to the article, he caught it from his driver who has it. So not necessarily from anyone at the races (although I do know of two who were there and have since got it).

    And still no-one breast beating about the 130000 who were at Old Trafford and Anfield around Festival time.

    Pity he can't see the back of the net as well as he can see microbes.

    Rumour is that this step has been taken on taste grounds, and is actually fu*ck-all to do with COVID-19.

    Makes a lot of sense.

    They'd be struggling for articles.

    Today's Weekender has cards and form for Ireland for the rest of this week plus tips for US racing.

    They claim it costs a fortune to produce occasional season-to-date indexes, the reason for limiting themselves to end-of-season ones.

    I wonder if they lay people off they're hoping the government will cover the 80% of their people's wages.

    West Ham have a losing record against Stockport County. Their supporters are immune from almost anything.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    What a lazy fu*king correspondent. Of course we'd have less than 100 cases countrywide if the festival hadn't gone ahead

    I think it was exactly the same article word for word as the one in the Daily Mail (although I wasn’t going to subscribe to bother reading the rest). But typical sensationalism.
