    Ding Ding has retired. So relieved to see her retire in one piece but, boy, will I miss shouting her home.

    It was an uncomfortable watch live. He appeared to plough straight into the fence. It was almost as though he didn't see it.

    Oh that’s sad. She was the dam of Sir Isaac Newton who I saw go through the ring as a yearling and he was stunning. Sadly he didn’t turn out as good as his looks and ended up dying in a hurdle race.

    Rumour has it the last year she foaled to Galileo the owners went alone as opposed to foal share ; their bill for cover and keep exceeded 700,000.
    Rumour has it.
    Some loss to her owners.
    On the other hand rumour has it dam of Allaho was sold for a bag (or two) of apples before breeding him.
    Oh to be in the right place at the right time, if only once.

    King's Advice was lost last Sunday at York.
    Should have been retired before which makes it more annoying.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    The newly formed retired or dead handicap chase at Southwell looks interesting!

    The heck has happened there.
