Gm and happy Royal Ascot Wednesday! Yesterdays newsletter was just ONE leg (the Coventry) off landing the Tote Placepot which paid £1,193.40! It’s £1 to enter. £1 into £1,193. It’s a no brainer. Remember, we nailed it the Friday of Cheltenham:

@equinties The newsletter did this…

DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW!? Equinties.com

@JeffqprBudd @WEG0NEGHOST Higher pass completion percentage than Hayden last night btw… No idea why Morgan has caught some many strays after last night - one of the only starters that consistently looked to go forward.

@WEG0NEGHOST All very well showing for the ball but I have never seen a player give the ball away so many times game after game.

HOW CAN WATCH KIERAN MORGAN AND SAY THIS😭😭😭😭😭😭 Cool , don’t rate him but you obviously don’t watch him He’s ALWAYS showing for the ball and ALWAYS trying to pass it forward Our fans don’t actually watch us

After three years, the time has come to move on from QPR. In my career, I have been fortunate to win promotions and enjoy successful campaigns in the Premier League. But ‘success’ is relative. And my time at Loftus Road really highlighted to me what fans want from you as their player. It isn’t always about winning leagues, achieving promotion. It’s about giving absolutely everything for their shirt, respecting the badge and respecting the fanbase. If you do that, proper fans will have your back. I have always seen QPR as a proper football club with proper fans – my time at Loftus Road confirmed it. It is far easier to be a fan when things are going well on the pitch. But it takes a special fanbase to stand with you during the hard times. We have had three tough battles at the wrong end of the table. On each occasion, the QPR fans turned up when we needed them, stood with us and successfully helped us across the line. To be named Supporters’ Player of the Year in my first season is something I will always be proud of, and to captain the club was an honour. As a player, you want to leave a club in a better state than when you arrived. I feel I achieved that with the help of all the coaches and team-mates I have worked with over the last three years. As I move on to the next chapter of my career, I want to say a huge thank you to the owners, the board, the management, coaches, staff and the R’s fans. It has been one hell of an adventure. We have had ups and downs but I have loved the journey. QPR will always have a special place in my heart and I wish you nothing but success in the future.

@QPR That half puts an end to the Paul Smyth debate…

Didn't work out at Cheltenham but we go again today.

Dividend run an absolute cracker there in 5th.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

@abracing0 Dividend EW for the good people...

Prices to be added next week

@equinties Yes the fields have been competitive but the racing hasn’t been. The front running advantage on this ground being so strong actually makes for pretty boring racing…

Another winner from the front. Just like WHITE NOISE. And just like all those yesterday.

Selma De Vary is the absolute wheelbarrow job of the festival.

Not often you have 285/1 on a Willie Mullins/Paul Townend runner in the Supreme at Cheltenham.

@lucyhammond99 Dividend has been an absolute superstar out there.

The most amazing 2 months, 2 x 🥇, 🥈, 🥉from 6 runners. Very grateful for the opportunity, now hopefully back for the end of the pointing season ❤️

@ASymondsJourno X-Country course going?

🚀 The Gordon Elliott Cross Country horses having their first pop of the fences this week. Favori De Champdou (14), Pied Piper (13), Conflated (12), The Goffer (11), and Martin Brassil’s Desertmore House. #CheltenhamFestival

Champion Chase or nothing for Irish Panther.

It seems that every day decisions are made that take football further away from what made fans enjoy it in the first place. Reaching the play-offs will mean less now as if you finish 5th in the league, you'll now have to play 3 “finals” over 5 legs to get promoted...

@Moray_Smith Completely agree. He'll probably go off a single figure price if Paul is jocked up on him. Punters will say they got the value backing at 12s and SP being 8/1 but in reality the horse should be 20/1+. Very poor punting anyone backing him.

I know everyone wants to think they might have bagged a nice price on Paul Townend's Supreme horse, but the general 12/1 on Leader d'Allier strikes me as awful value. If they thought he was any good he'd have been half that price weeks ago - just look at the heat around Mighty Park. We are always hearing "If he were trained by Mullins...", well if he WASN'T he'd surely be 50/1.
