Red Rum

Did he just say the colour Black , or was other words in a sentence around it , like I think this sentence would be fine " Black Caviar was a good racehorse " or maybe " the chequered flag was black and white " . Do you know of anyone saying that Black cannot be used in a sentence anymore . I've never seen that but I'd like to have a read up because that person would be crazy , I've seen people get upset at racial slurs though. You do understand this was on National TV .

I am at a loss that people cannot see a racial slur on one section of the population on the national racing channel by a licence holder and the term black as a colour as different , you do know black is a colour and it's fine , some are saying change the names in stud book on here !!! What a load of bollocks !! Each to there own , happy punting . This really is a twilight industry here .

Why would you consider a name change ? I am confused .

History books are history books , Iam no woke warrior for sure .The cop making those comments was a numpty too but worse because he's on the government coin . I am certainly not for hung drawing and quartering the bloke , Big Mike is a gallant horse and I wish him more wins with him . He's has a licence , he make a racial slur , he copped a fine , IMHO justified , pay it move on I reckon. Each to there own but it's 2021 not 1971.

Iam going to put my flairs on and get a perm, and watch Starskey and Hutch , this thread is getting retro . FFS you cannot say that shit on national TV , as a licence holder and not expect a fine . There no PC about it , it's common decency . At least he's copped it on chin by looks of it , he's not criminal number 1 , just a wally . Right iam off to pub to buy a 50 cent jug , and a 3 buck roast in my big holden then watching snooker on my black and white TV .

Did the thousands , or hundreds watching trackside take it as a laugh that's the problem racing had , he wasn't in the pub with his mates , he was on national TV channel, very unprofessional, how can racing have people spouting off that crap whoever they are .It's supposed to be getting into modern days . Billy T was 70s and 80s , those times gone over finished move on , so it's no good using that as an example, also last time I checked Phelan was not a stand up comedian . Would it play out well on 6 news TV 1 ask yourself that .

He's got to realise most people , guessing 98 per cent of country couldn't give a crap about racing , garbage like what he said don't help at all, it's embarrassing really , makes the place look old and stale , racing had to fine him or they would be shredded .

Racing is taxpayer funded at moment so cannot be having it , he got off light IMHO. Let's hope he moves on and gets some more winners , lessons learnt and all that jazz .

Grand Prix St Cloud has been unloaded on you tube OM . Tough performance from Broome . SMB looks outstanding, the rest of Ballydoyle 3 year olds colts look average , Lloyd Williams will hoover some up the rest to JP and Joseph for novice hurdles .

I've read what the comment was , 800 bucks pretty light , in other sports he would be on his arse banned for a decent length , don't know the guy but he needs to up his game .

Worth following Mega Heart on the dirt , ran a cracker stuck four wide . It's rated to win now , profit made on the place . Loves the dirt .

His other four runners 216 starts for 2 wins , they are going to have a decent go to try win one . Some of the old stagers didn't go too well today but a few went good a couple days back . He is not far off another win , it's building .

Reinvesting return from Furrion on Mega Heart each way HK tonight . Rating , trip , surface , the stars are aligned , the draw pretty dodgy though , ran very well after eating mud the trip last time so rolling the dice .

Grand Promanade dealt to them OM, another good buy for that crowd unraced from UK . Whoever finds them for that syndicate is very good .

Cannot argue with his form, those behind have kicked arse all over the world and they go on a bit of give . He may have had a slight fitness edge but i remember Haggas getting interviewed a while back and he did target the race so I guess he would have Addeyeb pretty ready . Roll on York .

Don't know much about trotters Rusty but to my novice eye he ran well, bit unlucky few more strides , thought he had it at one point in straight , we'll done on getting a collect .

Ran on good again I thought passing a few under more of a ride , totally agree nice easy ride again once chance gone , that horse being looked after . Furrion , I thought he was home at 24s but the rag done me , got some dripped back into account for 2nd .

Good Luck Rusty , will have a coco , put my silk Pjs on, have my bedtime story and curl up and cheer it home .

Only three bets for me tomorrow , all each way Haky R3 FLEM 21s and 3.70, nice and fit , likes a trip , could be his turn to grind home down straight . Iam with OM on Bon Vivant R4 7s and 2.50 , good debut run Furrion R6 19s and 3.70 , hit line hard fresh up, up in trip , good second up record , ground OK, change of stables,, they had two winners today , Looks pretty decent value to me .

Watched Saint Cloud a bit , watch that inside of course . It's a well oiled machine , every 200 metres or so is a little hut . As soon as the field go by the divot people popped out and do there thing .

Very nice run just now from Ozymandias in 2400 maiden Bendigo , ropey old race but went out at 100 plus Tote , looked a chance at 250 , got slightly crowded and just missed 3rd , in the next Twelve Guage ran OK for 6th . Both a chance of a win sometime. Twilight Zone and Pacific Crest , you'd have to be a massive optimist they would ever win one .

Just as Soon yesterday's Melbourne winner from same Meon Valley Stud family . They produce so many good horses from that family , Zagato with Frankel connection will be worth serious money I'd guess. Just needs to grab some black type .

Full sister to Frankel , Chiasma broke her maiden at 3rd time asking on poly at Kempton in a novice race last night , placed all three runs now and beat couple previous winners . Looked a decent field for an evening at Kempton . Frankel then sired the next winner . Frankel filly Zagato had also broke her maiden like Chiasma out the Gosden yard over at Thirsk that afternoon . Out of high class Izzi Top so from the Meon Valley stud family that is full of group 1 winners including Russian Camelot . Bated Breath got a listed winner at Tipperary , Famous Name a winner over fences at Worcester and New Bay got a mile and half handicap winner yesterday that Easterby reckons could go higher .

Just seen posted elsewhere , Lil Rockerfeller died of heart attack after finishing 2nd at Auteuil today , he was a grand horse who had a go at everything .

Cyfar Malta , Champleve and Eudipe were other advanced French Chasers Pipe and Johnson the owner brought over when they dominated , saw something on you tube about Macaire one top French trainers of jumpers , he was putting them over low jumps at 2 by the dozens in a training session .
