@racingblogger Getting balloted out would the biggest own goal ever. So ironic, almost want it to happen! Design a race for one horse then not let him run 😂 https://t.co/xZ5Qc4T5rt
@apgeraghty@RacingPost Getting a large credit card bill after Newmarket was pretty horrendous. Decided to skip the next meeting instead. Had the cash been accepted I wouldn’t have thought twice about going again.
@MikeParcej Have a share in a 5yo mare who desperately needs decent ground to show her best. Has needed to run for experience so had to suffer on ground less than suitable. Now just as it looks like weather is settling, has to face best part of a month off. Break should be in May/June imho.
@GusKennedy3 @RacingPost Agree on that one. Was there for a quiet May meeting. Having to queue twice is a head spin. Less staff needed to serve at bar is probably their thinking. Still had to wait longer. Gave up, spent less.
@olliegark@MCYeeehaaa@BHAHorseracing The Victoria Cup was originally a Thursday race day. Sacrificed at the altar of TV. Would have been ideal today, Sunday. Big handicap, pre football max coverage.
@JLMYTTON@MCYeeehaaa@BHAHorseracing The Victoria Cup used to be on a Thursday. Remember that? Sad state that there is literally no big races midweek unless it’s a multi day festival.
@racingblogger Some easier races at Ascot to profit from. Having an interest in Eminency 330 first time for the shrewd Stuart Williams. Break the Bank for A Balding 435. Related to Chil Chil and Beat the Bank. One to follow too. Both about 5/1
Last race of 9 after near five hours at Newmarket and finally see somewhere to sit. Promptly pounced on by official. “ECUSE ME!! You can’t sit here!!” Points to annual members sign. Really? Ok

@LydiaHislop The Mrs aggravated an old ankle injury this week, caused by falling out of the Lingfield Park porta cabin loos at a Madness concert! It’s ok I said, There’ll be a bus to the track. That started the day well didn’t it! 😠
@StuartHumphryes The Vale Recreation Football club on Guernsey has floodlights similar to those spotted in your pic. Also happens to have a bowling green next to it. Looks like buildings may have been demolished since or rebuilt.
