@trevorlong Can’t blame you. Keep up the good work in everything you do. You had me choking back the tears when you gave the TV to Rob and his family on the eftm podcast.

@Gmacracing Great win Liberty Sun! Friday night racing

[Tiger Tracker @OGTigerTracker]

Yes please.

Sad for our friend JK. Last season we saw them deliver the best WEG test since 2002 (and third best of all time).

The Germans just moved past Team GB as favourites for the Europeans?

Jung/Chip
Klimke/SAP Hale Bob
Krajewski/Samourai

Be some team. Analysis to follow.

@radio_sit Well done Rach! Lucky I decided not to play this time and give someone else a chance.

[Richard Freedman @R1CHARDFREEDMAN]

Nearly every other successful sport in the world is trying to even-out the competition with salary caps, drafts, list limits, etc, etc - Racing actively encourages the opposite. Long-term - VERY bad for the game. Participation already suffering - but nobody seems to be worried.

BREAKING: The bad rain is coming tomorrow evening in Tryon.

The interval between horses tomorrow will be reduced to three minutes. Same start time.

We will now be jumping on Monday rather than Sunday. Start time and horse inspection time to be confirmed.

Giraffes are now on the 'red list' of endangerment due to a 40% decline over the last 25 years. They could become extinct. Gone forever. And still, we allow spoilt cunts to pay money to shoot them with a bow and arrow for fun.

There's no other place in golf that changes the whole tournament like this. How to play Amen Corner, with @TigerWoods.
