Pet-peeve at football (especially non-league) is whole team bar keeper going into the opposition corner of a pitch to celebrate a goal for over a minute with referee near them just watching. Restart the game.

Only in the Racing League could an Irish-trained horse be representing Wales And The West!!!!

At Sienna , a few days ahead of the Palio. If they want anything slower than hard they are going to need a lot of water

An empty net would have posed a bigger challenge than David Raya

Worrying times for Martin Smethurst

Part of the reason why the National is less of a ‘spectacle’ is that jockeys are so much better and it attracts lots more good horses - hence less fallers. Would argue that field needs to be 40 runners.

If the Cross-Country is abandoned why not let horses run in Gold Cup - several should be running in it rather than this Mickey Mouse alternative.

No better or sadder indication of Jumps racing at present than Wednesday’s Gallagher Hurdle. 8 runners - five Willie Mullins, one Henderson, one Ben Pauling and one Harriet Dickin.

Racing may have lost the Mildmay Of Flete and Mildmay/Cazalet Chases but name resurrected on London Overground with the Mildmay Line

People bemoaning meetings called off too far in advance given temps are about to rise above freezing. Once frost firmly in ground it takes ages to come out. To give an idea - take a piece of frozen meat out of the freezer put it in a fridge and see how it takes to defrost.

Does anyone know how winning and beaten distances in horse races are calculated in Ireland? Is it the same as in GB as I know their rules?

Mullins 5 Elliott 4. It doesn't create a good impression of Irish racing

Every year Coolmore/Ballydoyle have a new ‘best we’ve ever had’. Wasn’t it Auguste Rodin this time last year.

Sepp Kuss owes a big thanks to what ever ailed Remco on that one day.

Watch Frankie Dettori's first Royal Ascot ride. 1987 Royal Hunt Cup - he came 6th on 33-1 shot Merle - rode at 7st6lb putting up 1lb overweight youtube.com/watch?v=DU5wIkDl…

Good chance that The Real Whacker gets booted out next week

So it is just 116 confirmations for Willie Mullins and 101 for Gordon Elliott at this year’s Festival.

14 of the 21 runners in Thyestes trained by Gordon Elliott or Willie Mullins. Surely, that’s not good for the sport
