@StephenKing He's announcing the renaming of US missiles "to boost their self confidence." To be called US Hitiles now: "Look how great Hitler was. You think he'd've got that far with a name like Missler?"

My first post this year, just to say it's enouraging to see one or two more racing folk from here each week also posting on Bluesky. Aside from any political shade, it's a much healthier place to be from a basic social media viewpoint.
A couple of things to save you typing time, wear on your keys, and knuckle arthritis in 2026: phrases that are not needed 99% of the time:

2 'On, across, your, his, her face'. Leave it at smile. It can only happen on one body-part.
@ChrisGartner2@rosscojmill The change in Venetia's fortunes this season once again highlights the old law - what goes up must come down. I'll be wary of those of Elliott's who've ran out of their skin these past few days. He will not be in anything like that form in March.
@Moray_Smith She's been carefully managed, but 9 G1s at 6 speaks volumes. The only danger she faces in these kind of races is being knocked over by Anzadam.
Great top 10 selection by @Armytage for 'The greatest characters in racing ranked' You will NOT guess the top two ... (and the slugs tell one part of the story ... 'no Frankie Dettori') https://t.co/ZH5lb2Jb0M
Let's see what No Drama This End can do on better ground. Wasn't convinced he had as much left as it looked last time, though I'd love to see PFN with a big player again.
At least Brighterdaysahead has got over her hard race in that last year. No sour demeanour, and making ground close home without sticking her neck out. If she can get back full commitment in a finish, she'd have a fine chance of reversing that result.
