Cause shotgun bullets are bad for your career "But his career came to an abrupt halt when he was shot four times in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas in September 1996. He died in hospital six days later, at the age of 25." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ka Ying Rising goes 20 wins in a row at Sha Tin on Sunday, winning the $24 million Chairman's Sprint Prize by a fair margin.

Horse races of interest taking place in Britain and Ireland between April 27th and May 3rd 2026. Races are at Naas, Wolverhampton, Epsom, Lingfield, Southwell, Ascot, Goodwood, Newmarket, Warwick, Doncaster, Hexham, Thirsk, Uttoxeter, Cork, Salisbury, Sligo and Hamilton. youtu.be/wG6rru3fGh0

I think the ground issues for example at Sandown are due to owners and trainers concentrating on buying horses who are likely to want cut in the ground. There is nothing wrong with good with good-to-firm in places.

@ceefaxisbetter.bsky.social My old channel and my take on Downfall as Hitler realises he bet on the wrong Miliband brother. The throwaway part looks more interesting now 15 years later! youtu.be/bR4sq6qy5IU?...

Horse races of interest taking place in Britain and Ireland between April 20th and 26th 2026. More obscure races include those named after early 20th century jockey, a famous manager of Coventry City, a family who ran pub in Ripon and horse who excelled at Beverley. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeNQ...

I remember having a nice short chat with Sean Magee in March 2016 which included how neither of us wanted Spurs to win the title vs Leicester. How things have changed in 10 years.

Actually the day before www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH9D... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH9D...

I'm finishing a video about the British and Irish next week but one of the poignant ones is the race named after John Sillett who was the co-manager with George Curtis of Coventry City. www.britishhorseracing.com/racing/fixtu...

11.40pm tomorrow for the 2026 Nakayama Grand Jump. Hopefully at least afterwards I'll be able to catch the commentary from my favourite commentator who I think may be Hayato Ozeki. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxWx...

The shortest time previously a world snooker champion had failed to qualify for it after winning the tournament was Joe Johnson six years and Alex Higgins seven years. This has happened to Luca Brecel after three years.

Booked Chelmsford City for Chelmer Fillies Stakes on May 7th. Having booked a train to Lindon they then changed the race to their April 30th fixture. Now both meetings are cancelled. At least I can go to Brighton meeting in May 7th. I mean surely they can't cock things up!

Real Ale fans like me seem to ask for a pint of "the" whatever beer it is especially at beer festivals.

I'm braveley trying to read 's Faust at Newcastle Beer Festival which is becoming increasingly difficult.

Does anyone know how many horses won a novice chase or hurdle in their second effort at the race? Stromness was fifth in 2001 and then in 2002 won the Seton Novices Hurdle at Aintree.

Chelmsford City Racecourse are cancelling their April and May meetings.

My visit to Musselburgh Racecourse April 12th 2026 plus some transport chaos getting to and from the course. Also I mention my visit to the Surrealism exhibition at the Scottish National Galleries Modern. youtu.be/2vKENU_PaaY

Bob MacIntyre calling out Segio Garcia in 2022. This has not aged well for either of them. x.com/i/status/154...

Loose horse caught at Musselburgh.

I left Adonus off bets at Musselburgh because he was well odds on. Massive drift since

Willie Mullins needs to switch to training training on the flat after matching Vincent O'Brien.

Bar Red Rum in 1974 this is the largest winning weight since Royal Mail in 1937.

Jordans hadn't won beyond 2m 2f 75yds. Probably simply didn't stay.

I was never sure how well I Am Maximus was travelling on the second circuit.

Zulu Kingdom gave trainer Chad Brown his milestone 3,000th win in today's Grade I Maker's Mark Mile Stakes at Keeneland with regular rider Flavien Prat onboard. Congrats to all connections! #racingsky 🏇

Is it the law a horse called Melon must always finish second?

Conor Stone-Walsh either wins or gets suspended. bsky.app/profile/arkl...

Cyfor Malta vibes there.

Koktail Divin shitting at the start.

No 5yo winner of the Manifesto Novices Chase since 2015.

My visit to Bath Racecourse April 5th 2026. I also give comments on Chelmsford City Racecourse, the Newcastle Masters darts event I went to and a clueless racecard seller at Bath. youtu.be/KuuHK5peVio

Plenty of engagement please.

I'm going for Shanbally Kid in the Irish Grand National.

I worked at ASDA for a year between 1992 and 1993 as part of my BA Hons. It was made clear when I started that you must see a shoplifter attempt not to pay. The Waitrose employee failed to do that.

What's going on at Plumpton?

I missed the first race at Bath because the racecourse couldn't organise how to get people in.

I've only got 7 listed races left to watch but it looks like I'll have to pay £50 to watch the Hopeful Stakes at Newmarket on August 22nd because of two bands I couldn't care less about and couldn't stay to watch anyway and get back to Newcastle.

Races of interest taking place between April 6th and April 12th 2026. I mention races taking place at Hereford, Kempton Park, Plumpton, Exeter, Pontefract, Taunton, Thirsk, Yarmouth, Wincanton and Musselburgh. youtu.be/dWynrpP1bXs
