@LydiaHislop absolutely brilliant interview with the clerk of the course. Didn't allow the pathetic answers or blatant misleading ones. Genuinely best journalist out there ππ
Massively concerning the whole thing. Got so lucky there wasn't a serious incident.
Where AP O'Brien and Charlie Appelby will just clean up instead. If you don't think a trainer getting the first 3 home with his son on the 33/1 winner is special, then it's probably not for you. You should appreciate and celebrate brilliance when it's happening, not crab it.

@MikeParcej hello Mike. Sorry to bother you but nobody better to ask. Donny by train - is this easy to do or would you think Driving is better for ease?
@PitchforthNews This is very sad. Been a staple of the crosby community for my whole life. Best of luck to Peter and family for whatever the next step in life brings you all, you will be missed.
@LydiaHislop Its a difficult one this, as punters scream 'cheat' - presenters rightly question but need to be careful what and how they say things. The stewards are the ones who can stop it, but their regular use of 'Noted' falls short imo. A few punishments would soon flush this out.
@carlhinchy Surprised at how many are naming trainers who's average horse price must be easy 6 figures! And they don't exactly get maximum bang for the buck either imo.
For what its worth, Sam England is absolutely mustard.

A great day at Aintree. But those Pertemps Qualifiers are a nightmare for the integrity of the game. Every year its just an absolute shark fest and for some reason seen as acceptable.
I've no love for the owner involved like, he has had a big hand in ruining my football club and seems awful.
But given the jockey he had just sacked and how, it was fairly obvious what he was about so surely they went in eyes wide open? All the faux outrage is a bit much.
I seem to remember a jockey leaving the North and making a few rum remarks as he chased the heights and riches of the south. Looking after himself and career aspirations was put forward. Whilst not particularly great over text, this owner is surely just doing the same thing?
