Not Found What I've Been Looking For

[Mirror Racing @MirrorRacing]

Haydock hole issue no closer to being solved at track due to host Tom Grennan concert https://t.co/taEbyTDwMG

[Megan Dent Photography @MeganDentPhoto]

One that’s been a long time in the planning, it might even make you look twice.

Racehorse shadows @CWilliamsRacing ☺️

@tony_calvin Not a music Friday or a high profile Saturday by Haydock standards; Chester clash too. They will want to protect inner course for Old Newton Cup / Rose of Lancaster / Sprint Cup etc. Decent chance some of Haydock's quieter fixtures going to Carlisle, Nottingham etc this summer?

This weekend's highlights on the French beat:
- Varandir, Aventure, Seagulls Eleven (obviously)
- the Quinté+ handicap where six heads separated the first seven
- Pink Panthera paying Behrayna a compliment
- Ambre Molins double at Longchamp
- Tony Piccone around Bordeaux

@noyce_steven @LingfieldPark More of this - a weekend ticket which provides flexibility and rewards going regularly. More racecourses could address the middle ground between red letter days and annual memberships.

A very warm walk along the Seine this morning - and a Mediterranean feel to the air this evening. Spring has sprung off its coil.

[Mike Crolla @MikeCrolla]

I thought Tony Piccone rode three very good rides today - Pink Panthera paying a decent compliment to Behrayna...

[At The Races @AtTheRaces]

A top ride from Tony Piccone!

Pink Panthera swoops by Regal Resolve to take Listed honours at Bordeaux Le Bouscat...

@jm_bell95 He is hosting an event during England's first match so seemingly not. ITV has picked up Jon Champion, which is of some credit.

1983 Thames TV Derby day presenters, from left, Graham Goode, John Oaksey, Brough Scott, Judith Chalmers, Derek Thompson and Big Mac. How many recall Judith Chalmers on anything other than 'Wish You Were Here'?

@MikeCrolla That is what caught my eye when watching some tape!
Took a pic for old times sake.

[Mike Crolla @MikeCrolla]

@fawwon1 Wind it back a little more and we can see the old straight mile before the housing?

@racingoncourse "The catacombs of Ayr Racecourse" is the line of the day 😂

[Mike Crolla @MikeCrolla]

"Saints And Sinners" if the sub editor is at whist drive.

@HonestFrank @p2p_alex @KnutsfordRaces @TableyHouse After Sunday, it is hoped that there is a move to somewhere close by. If you're going today, I suspect you will get a better steer - it's not an area I cover to any degree.
