  1. Delphinius a Frankel half brother to Kingman and Tango Fire at Stud in Pakistan. Straight Shooter has already had a winner in Cyprus . Cunco his first ever winner is at Stud in Chile so his genes are spread far and wide .
  2. Four winners for Frankel yesterday all at top tracks , Newmarket , Newbury , Leopardstown and Longchamp , His brother Noble Mission chipped in with one as well, Bated Breath , Beat Hollow and Kingman also got on the board for Juddmonte bred stallions . Even horse called Denounce who I think was at Warren Place but just average got one home the other day . Those fillies do look cheap .
  3. Frankel Arabia Queen winner in first last night , 20 to 1 . Beautifully bred , Dam beat Golden Horn in International at York . Destinado made 30k guineas , to owner who has a horse with Tony Carroll . Good trainer of lower end horses , gets them to their level though and gets plenty wins . Dual purpose trainer so maybe juvenile hurdling awaits . Again I thought he would make more .
  4. I see Y'Bir has had the unkindest cut of all Stodge since he went on the Derby trail . Appleby has assembled a decent team of three year old geldings now , all entered in Volitigeur , Manabo, KemerI and Y"'Bir , thinking he might be assembling a team to Melbourne .
  5. Okay okay you guys win , I tap out . I am off to chain myself to the gates of some capitalist corporate greed company in my Citizen Smith uniform with my copies of socialist worker .
  6. Line one , totally agree , people say that to me a lot so must be true, I've would you believe had people call me far worse while trying to take a right good shot at me , all the fun of the fair P4P . I can only go on what Shaun is quoted as saying , what else can I go on . As I said a number of times , the other quotes you attribute to someone else would be a disgrace, at what point did I disagree with you on that . The blokes been fined, he's appears not to be appealing . Do people really say sorry and not mean it to mitigate a fine and or being sent down , blimey never seen that before but I learn something new everyday .
  7. Now that is very bad and something that is totally out of order no debate on that one IMHO . He made a great effort and his recovery I've explained to couple young keepers last night and told them watch it a few times , that's why the keeper coach does the drills to get up and recover . They are tough drills but he almost got that rebound . Just couldnt parry it out to the sides .Father and Son both true professionals.
  8. Shaun Phelan himself agrees the comments he made were totally inappropriate on National TV , so he is at odds with those on here that say they were fine . Again , iam no woke warrior at all , I enjoy having the piss taken out of me , I enjoy taking the piss . But my point has always been in 2021 that cannot be said on National TV and not expect to get a sanction , all sports are the same , look at the crazy overreaction to that England cricketer the other week, then they tried to slur other guys inc a NZ cricketer for a tweet he made years back that were very mild imho . I hear Poms this and that loads , it's great , it's funny , and I really don't give a crap what is said to me and 99 per cent time it's a laugh and bit of back and forth with great mates , the other 1 per cent is even funnier , nothing funnier than people getting wound up , my phone will melt with txts if Italy win on Monday morning taking piss put of England but it it's not about individuals and my point is I feel racing was backed into a corner . Imagine it came out on news and they had ignored it , the action they took and Shaun's mature reation has imho taken the wind out the sails of the " woke warriors " . I actually reckon Shaun comes out of this looking like a thoroughly decent individual , we all make on mistakes for gods sake , the authorities had to act IMHO and hes copped it with grace , better that than they ignore it and then it's on news they swept it under carpet. Likewise TN , always enjoy your posts.
  9. 42000 Guineas to Barratt Racing , not sure who they are but brought a few yesterday .
  10. Love Leopardstown and one of best days I've been on track was seeing Istabraq waltz home in the Irish Champion . , the roar and emotion of the crowd was great, and the old boy is still alive and kicking at Martinstown Stud . The funeral parlour in the rear of the pub in one small town I popped into once time didn't thrill me, but the Irish fry ups beat the English hands down .
  11. What provinces do the National Rugby Team of Ireland represent ? I do read a lot of racebooks, surprising the amount of time wasted that I don't get more winners , but I have a working knowledge of Ireland and worked shoulder to shoulder with top people from both traditions from there for many a year .PSNI indicates by the name it's Ireland . One thing I have learnt from my dealings is a lot of things are not as simple as it seems on the Island of Ireland , but what is simple is the racing , pubs and countryside are up with best anywhere .
  12. Racetracks there not too bad Shane , bit undulating though.
  13. Many who live there see it as part of Ireland !! , an occupied part but part of an Ireland they want united at some point . It's called the Island of Ireland by some interested parties .
  14. Once again, it's not about individuals here , it's about an organisation catering for large audience, no organisation can ignore that . Accept it move on , you cannot go on TV and stereotype a racial group on a negative way in 2021 and get away with it , it's not an opinion , it's a fact. We can all give thousands of examples of being call this and that, I don't give a flying fuck being call a fat, lazy ,smelly , soap dodging, cowardly , weak as batshit pommy fuckface , but if a licence holder pointed at me on track on TV and call me it on trackside and I said yes I am of those , the licence holder will get fined, it's the way it is .
  15. Iam can still snap a daisy chain in half Rusty
  16. Woke , weak pricks , hahaha. Love it . Yep that's me . Not too bad at Rugby , Cricket and Football on the whole the old Poms .Football quite a tough sport because a lot of people play , Poms semi in World Cup , Semi tomorrow not too bad , Rugby team monstered the ABs when it mattered few years back and a cricket team won World Cup with the massive help of a kiwi / pom . Heavyweight boxers go ok too at times .How many countries won the Football, Cricket, Rugby World Cup trifecta . Bathing is overrated., when you start to smell your own body odour that's the time to bath my parents told me . I always seem to have loads social distance and also plenty of space in my various sporting pursuits . Interesting , no one minds Irish jokes , ok have a go in the Falls Road , have you been there ?? , I have, it's not a place for some weak woke pricks by the way , but i was a lot younger and fitter then . Cheering on the Poms tomorrow P4P ????
  17. I reckon dollar to a cent he would have been given a fine , I would have been most upset if he had said Poms were lazy , I wouldn't have complained though as it's way too much effort . He's got a horse and half with Big Mike though, good on him .
  18. I am a council estate boy when it comes to confirmation etc Breeder bar the very basics , but I love looking at racehorses though, the smell , the noise , etc takes the stress out of life leaning by a paddock watching them go round pre race . Beautiful , been watching them for 40 years . My best go at it would be like humans , the middle distance upwards runners are slight and slim with lower muscle tone to give them the endurance , no big muscles burning energy ,bit like old Frank Bruno used to gas out in the ring with his ripping muscles burning the fuel too quick at times ,the Euro breds slighted build so less burn in the muscles , the sprinters a ball of muscle . I have been racing Stateside a few times , the dirt bred sprinters are immense , just power pack ready to go boom from the gate burning the fuel in 6 furlongs , .In short wouldn't worry me if the horse was a bit slim in the sales overnight . Watched that Grand Promande Saturday, lovely horse , for a stayer on TV he gave a more muscled look about him . As I said an amateur on confirmation , and breeding to be fair but very interested in it . Be interested to hear a non amateurs thoughts . Looking forward to seeing how your pick goes in sales .
  19. I think you are allowed to say the word Maori on TV , I hear the word on TV , I think the rest of the words around it is where it goes wrong for the bloke . As for names your logic with respect is lunacy , you can name a horse a name if it passes certain tests , English King races in OZ for Moroney , now if he was renamed English followed by something derogatory or used in a way to denigrate a race or nationality it might be rejected , so you should be fine in your naming . Just stay clear of being an amateur stand up comic using 1970s humour on the racing TV channel and I think you can panic no more.
  20. Glad it made you laugh JOT and took you back to good memories , no one surely is saying this guy is a mad racist he just said something on the spot after a fabulous horse he must be very attached to won , iam sure he meant no harm at all however it was a racial slur even if in jest and racing will have some guidebook and policy of what is acceptable for public consumption , my view is they had no option in this instance but to take action and probably had to fine him , Iam not a woke warrior or a communist , it's just the reality of 2021 .Say something someone's gonna get offended by on TV and bang there's a fine and or ban .
  21. Interesting horse , Gosden then he moved to France .Rated 100 in UK on back of that good July Stakes run . Half brother 103 , middle to upper tier sprint handicapper now , ran the other day called Lahore . First race at Ripon last night Frankel got another winner as broodmare sire , 3 out of 6 to run have won , and only one hasn't placed and that one only had 1 run. Those six had about 10 runs in total only so strike rate looks good . Destinado iam watching in sales this week.
  22. Not sure if you been keeping an eye on New Bay JC , he is banging home the winners , couple have had a few wins . About 22 wins UK and Ire past 3 months , about 6 or 7 past fortnight , he pops up regularly now . Mick Easterby has one called Caraphilliy , won again yesterday and in again on Thursday , be interesting to see if he runs .Has about 3 in overnight .
  23. Why should he , is black a bad word ?? , why do you think this is so ?? Wonder if BK is worried , I think probably not because Black is a colour , and the geezer was fined for something totally different .
  24. Again , it's not about you , it's not about me , trust me when I tell you I've had the shit ripped out of me in rough jobs , for many many years since I was 15 . Face to face mates having a laugh, some blokes nasty, some funny , this is not that , it's National TV . I love having the shit ripped out of me , I love giving it by the barrel load as it helps when under stressful situations , but you have to cater for the audience, we can all say I don't mind this and that but trackside has many varied viewers and racing has an image it needs to protect . Precious, love it . Cheers .
  25. Okay , the racing authorities should have canvassed every single viewer to see if they were offended before they acted , maybe the cricket authorities should have canvassed every cricket fan in world before they banned the England bowler the other week for tweets when he was 15 years old 10 years ago .. He was banned , maybe still is for his joke , this bloke got 800 bucks and hes an adult, he has hardly been flogged . We are old buggers in the main , so this shit gets youngsters in does it , they love these old crap jokes , roll up roll up see the show .
