@racingoncourse Story of my life

[Steven Powell @StevenPowell89]

Be interesting to see if the by-election beats the GE2024 turnout of 40%, the lowest of any constituency at the entire election.

[Guido Fawkes @GuidoFawkes]

ANDY BURNHAM will try to return to the Commons by taking Afzal Khan’s Manchester Rusholme seat.

Khan has previously denied he would give up the seat.

"It's a massively downward trend" 🗣️

Has racing gone soft on fast ground?

@Jamesracing1 I thought that but apparently they are say "Wuuuuu" not booooo 😂

[Steven Powell @StevenPowell89]

@DizzyJB @pjacobstipster @racingoncourse The attitude that Good is too quick (see several small fields at meetings in the last couple of weeks) or Heavy is too soft (see Ayr last week or parts of winter) means that participants are backing themselves into a self-destructive corner.

[SD Racing Services @racingoncourse]

A lot of racing “fans” seem to be just going down a cul de sac of getting jumps racing banned all by themselves:
“Good to firm in places ground isn’t fit for jump racing” . It is. You’d have had an aneurism at the 1997 Festival.
“Horses should have an arbitrary retirement date”
“Edwardstone should be retired after winning grade 1”

That’s in 2 days

🎙️ Here's how John Hunt called the 2026 Grand National at Aintree...

🤩 Commentary to match the drama!

[Racing Post @RacingPost]

Ross Brierley's alternative guide to the Grand National 😂

A must watch as @ItsRossBrierley runs through each runner in the Grand National 👇

[Graham Cunningham @gcunning12]

@jamesaknight The idea that info about barrier trials held in public on an actual racecourse should not be available to the betting public sums up a lot of what ails British racing nowadays.
