Unbelievable. The 80’s 90’s were amazing. The class of horse seemed far and above the class of horses nowadays. Just look into the race and see the amount of races that they went on to win. Unbelievable

@RacingTV @WorldPool With the ammunition he has, Tony is without doubt, one of the best trainers in the UK. Works tirelessly, and goes to almost all meetings he has runners. Top guy too.

The majority of British residents in Bahrain are choosing to shelter in place during the ongoing geopolitical tensions, according to a top diplomat.
Speaking during a Press roundtable, UK Ambassador Alastair Long revealed that approximately 1,000 British nationals, half of whom were visitors to Bahrain, have evacuated from the kingdom through the King Fahd Causeway.
He also clarified that the embassy in Bahrain does not see repatriation as necessary at this time but for those who are seeking to go back home, it has been facilitating their return with necessary travel documents.
“We’ve seen just short of 1,000 exits, and the split is about 50-50 between visitors and residents,” Mr Long noted.
“And those are mainly people who we’ve neither assisted with their departure, nor told them to depart.”
“These are people who’ve taken the decision of their own free will, but the option they have availed is to leave over the causeway. But that shows you too, that the majority, particularly of residents, are choosing to shelter in place.”
The ambassador highlighted that British nationals can register their presence in Bahrain through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, so they receive important updates to travel advice.
He noted that the embassy’s current advice to UK nationals is to either shelter in place or leave via the Saudi causeway.

@MikeParcej Hi Mike, gosh he was a star. I loved Floyd, great jumper loved front running and had no end of guts. I won the Imperial Bula Kingwell County Fighting Fifth and 7 other races on him. 👊🤙

Memory Lane time again, folks! The legendary Floyd. One of the best two mile hurdlers I've ever seen that didn't win a Champion Hurdle. @ColinENBrown

I left home a 16 to work for the Captain. He was an extraordinary man. Incredibly tough but with a delightfully different sense of humour. Hear about my trials and tribulations on what promises to be fun night with @FOBRacing
