If you've got a winning turn of foot and in the right company, it really doesn't matter if the going is good to soft, good to firm or simply good.
Catching up with Miranda ... Series 1 2009. Really quite funny. Odd, but funny.
Hey @grok who is the most famous person to visit my profile? Thank you.
Quite a gap between CALANDAGAN [11-10] and JAN BRUEGEL [5-2] given there was only half a length between them when they ran at Epsom last month. Very odd, whatever the outcome in a few minutes' time.
MANY MEN was claimed after an unlucky in running 2nd in a Newmarket seller on his debut. He has since won over £70,000 with two wins at Doncaster, one back at Newmarket and now won at Ascot. @Theclaiminglads @JamesFGun and @sutto821 won with Andaleep yesterday, too. WOW!
BROWN JACK STAKES Brown Jack won at Royal Ascot SIX years running 1929, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 34.
A tip from left field. 2.50 Thirsk ZOUMLUZZI 16/1 might make the first two. Looks the better of Tim Easterby's two.
I agree with @Catters61 . . . A BIT OF SPIRIT more than lived up to his name. A LOT OF SPIRIT, I reckon. @McGracing
MANDARIN SPIRIT pretty much makes all at Thirsk. Many thought Secret Echo or Conjecture would go past but neither did. 10/1 in running.
Middle-age spread comes to most of us in our 40s. Olly Murphy is no exception. 😉
The Daily Telegraph weirdly blames France for clashes at Thai border. 🤪 What a ridiculous illogical train of thought. aol.co.uk/france-blame-c…
newstatesman.com/culture/life/2… This writer is not holding back. He really doesn't like @BrewDog 😐
2.20 Worcester The £4,500 is split four ways with £2,450 to the winner. Dear oh dear. An appalling state of affairs. We were offering this sort of money at Lingfield 40 years ago. @HoskinsSam @Theclaiminglads
1.25 Doncaster Boiling Over was 3/10 to go past Commander's Intent 3/1 but couldn't quite do so.
Freddy Tett from last to first on AMATHUS. @FreddyTett . . . You would have been unlucky not to win, given the number of times you were prevented from starting your run. Champion amateur in Jersey, leading amateur in France and Italy 🫡 @Theclaiminglads @sam
This really hasn't aged well at all. #swfc
Per sources, understand an agreement has been reached with at least one prospective buyer for Sheffield Wednesday. Believe documents were out for signing yesterday and at least one buyer has signed theirs. This doesn’t mean a deal is done but the process is moving. #SWFC
Double on the day as Ligtening strikes for the second time @Cartmelrace under @richiemclernon well done to the team and the @MprUpdates owners 👏👏🍾
