@irishracing There was a queue of lads looking to get a photo with him on Saturday and, to be fair, he obliged them all. Why wasn’t there promo done with his 2 runners? I think it would have generated far more interest than Greg O’Shea did

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@irishracing I’d question the use of Greg O’Shea to promote it. Why use a celebrity who has little or no interest in racing to promote it? It’s inauthentic. I think racing is missing a trick by not using Ciaran Kilkenny more. He’s recognised by 000s and had 2 horses running on Saturday. 1/2

@VC2243 @kieransopinion @rtenews The Presidential Election Act was written in 1937, the WEF established in 1971 and Irish accession to the EU was 1973. Would have required some foresight to know what the EU and WEF wanted 30/40 years in advance. Might be no harm if you plugged out the internet for a while

@Paulp8181 I had the time to study the electoral process in Vanuatu alright. No problem with people highlighting the issues in Ireland but we’re not that badly off when compared with other countries

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@Paulp8181 In the top 10 for least corrupt countries. https://t.co/UxQiK5BW5N Plenty of issues in Ireland but it’s certainly one of the best and most democratic countries to live in

@GerryStanding @PeteFarrell14 I don’t know whether you’re fishing or just thick. There is absolutely no comparison between Harris’ efforts (however misguided they might be) and Saville’s preying on vulnerable young people. By comparing the 2, you’re playing down the harm that was done to them

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@ciaranodeorain @quarterfirst4 They’re the ones. Won the Cesarewitch with Suailce maybe 20 years ago. Think there was a runner more recently but can’t find it.

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@quarterfirst4 @ciaranodeorain President of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Blue and Gold. Touch of class to those

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@ciaranodeorain @quarterfirst4 Think they were used in the 2011 Derby. Nearly certain they’re in the finish with the Barzalona picture

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@GerryStanding @PeteFarrell14 What a stupid comparison to draw. No problem with people thinking Harris isn’t up to the job but you can’t equate that with paedophilia. You do nobody any favours by doing so

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@Paul_Hogan8 @KildareGAA Dub hurlers couldn’t be expected to play at the same time as their footballers who had their throw-in time confirmed last week. Think your criticism isn’t warranted in this situation.

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@JohnnyDineen I was there nearly every day last year and thought it was a vast improvement on the previous year. Whilst some of the original criticism was warranted, think they deserve more credit than they are getting

@kingmonkeyrs @thebattler2000 @BarryLenihan @amdracing @inpbaoc To be fair to him, the place return from €30 each way would have been around €12k which was a far more likely outcome than both winning. Bet had to exceed the maximum to get 5 figures from the place part

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@JoeSeward1 @DylanPhelan1 If that was done in sufficient numbers then it would surely have an impact. Fair play on the work you’re doing, the lad deserves to be paid.

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@BradMaxley Tommy Stack another one I’d say

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@BradMaxley @irishkor @kevinblake2011 @Franmberry Liam Browne. I presume the Sun Alliance was a Grade 1 when he won it

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@homework_jean @UncleErniesTips Mooneista ran in the Abbaye when trained by Davison.

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@homework_jean @UncleErniesTips John, I think you’re hinting at an agenda here. That picture isn’t from Joseph’s. It’s from Jack Davison’s.

[Shane Power @SPower14]

@DarranPearce @MikeParcej All races worth €100k at the weekend. Don’t know could you justify having a hunter’s chase for that much?
