Just seen a lad today who i used to know years back, liked having a bet and had a small share in a horse with relations/friends. ANYWAYS, it brought back memories of the time he told me that the horse in question had been to Ballydoyle to do some work, despite not being in the O Brien stable...

Whoever put the ad with Big Mc and the lad with the tash together shouting at each other needs to take a good long look at themselves. I have the afternoon off, and am availing of watching some racing and working on the laptop. To say they have pissed me off would be an understatement. Its...
