The novice hurdle next, and it's two out of two for Hang Out, who made all the running to outstay Alcarath. A shrewd bargain purchase by @donaldmccain that looks money wisely spent! @theojgillard on a horse with a good future. Nice to see Idaho sire good horses as well this year.

Next, The Wood Ditton Hurdle! No surprise that a precocious French bred had the fitness to land the spoils first time out, as Rockson Piel makes almost all the running to beat Bump and Run, for @Harry05Derham and Paul O'Brien. Looks to have a real future, a quality juvenile imho.

Next, imho always the Anne Duchess of Westminster Memorial Chase goes to First Confession, who wins his second chase in his first run since the Festival, and dominated the final circuit to beat Broomfields Cave, for @TizzardRacing and @D_Johnston01 . A future staying hcap chaser?

[Mike Parcej @MikeParcej]

Next, a superb ride from @harryskelton89 to produce Getawhisky spot on to beat Onefournine, for @DSkeltonRacing . Her second run over fences, and her first win since the Winter Million, another horse who has taken very well to the bigger obstacles. Showed courage to get up, too.

@WeaverRacing @DrDamienRiggs @MIKE_STOCK_HQ @mikestockmusic @SAW_MUSIC @PWLHitFactory @thelonniegordon Maybe We should call it a day. A pop masterpiece

Bangor Reviews. Wandering Ego is making his way up the ladder, and produces his best performance so far, quickening well to beat Bowenspark, for @O_J_murphy91 and @Sean_Bowen_ . Saw him on chasing debut at Ffos Las, and has improved a lot from that. Not a foot wrong all round.

@WeaverRacing @DrDamienRiggs @MIKE_STOCK_HQ @mikestockmusic @SAW_MUSIC @PWLHitFactory @thelonniegordon Magnificent tune. Sadly after September 1989 by which time appalling rackets had begun to infiltrate the Top 10!! SAW tunes held their own for a while though.

@therahband @serinatu @sgomusic @GoldLeafMusic How i wish i knew about this before the gig! Will keep an eye open for future gigs. I still think Across the Bay is one of the best UK single releases not to chart. An enormous injustice!

More sad news today. RIP Chris Giles. Memories of going into Chris's bar in Esher after Sandown, remember talking with Chris, @tony_calvin and Rich Ricci's racing manager one evening. Chris was likeable, friendly and loved to talk racing with everyone. Thoughts with his family.

Weird volcano style cloud formations at @BangorRaces !

[Mike Parcej @MikeParcej]

Gold stars to @BangorRaces for a very nice surprise, this huge improvement on the winners enclosure making it even more racegoer friendly. A cracking afternoon in the autumn sunshine with a proper racing crowd enjoying the events unfolding. Almost like a point to point over here!

[Mike Parcej @MikeParcej]

@FrancescaJane_x @Kennethkn51 Many thanks Fran for alerting me to this. Hi Kenneth, sadly i'll have to obstain on this occasion, for me it's more racecards that i collect, and for books, storage space doesn't allow right now. I'm sure they'll end up in a good home though. Best wishes to you.

[Mike Parcej @MikeParcej]

Made it to @BangorRaces for their biggest day of the year. Some excellent sport to enjoy in weather far nicer than last year! Anne Duchess of Westminster in our thoughts, the big race used to be her memorial race. An amazing lady whose contribution to NH racing isn't forgotten.

@prodnose God bless Danny, may he rest in peace.

Truly brilliant song from imho Australia's most talented group ever. Knocks the modern lot into touch!!

🎬 Filmed in December 1964, this unforgettable two-minute performance was captured in a single take—no cuts, no tricks, just pure talent. Every note had to be flawless. Even decades later, its authenticity and brilliance remain timeless. ✨🎶❤️

[SKY Racing @SkyRacingAU]

Rest peacefully, Izzy ❤️

To her family, friends and everyone who loved her, our hearts are with you.

[Mike Parcej @MikeParcej]

A bitterly sad day for racing. Worldwide. May Izzy Neale rest in peace.
