Shane Power

@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

@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

🇮🇪 "It's a cultural thing in Ireland, people seem to have more of an affinity to the jumps racing. Is there a whole pile you can change about that? I'm not sure." 🤔 What can be done to attract crowds to Flat racing in Ireland?

@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

@kieransopinion @rtenews The provisions are manipulated by WEF globalist and the EU. Every mechanism of state, judiciary and government is being used against the people. If you don't like choice, the problem is with you

@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

@SPower14 Good man Shane 👍 did you come up with the stats yourself?? Head in the sand much ?

I am 40. At every stage of my life, even before I was old enough to know it, my generation has been shafted by the corruption, cronyism, back handers, brown envelopes, idiocy, lies and nastiness of Fianna Fail who exist solely to get ahead. Thus my new view of Jim Gavin.

@Paulp8181 In the top 10 for least corrupt countries. tradingeconomics.com/country-list/c… Plenty of issues in Ireland but it’s certainly one of the best and most democratic countries to live in

@EwanMacKenna When I was growing up I never realized Ireland was such a corrupt horrible little country..... But I always had a feeling something was off ....

@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

@SPower14 @PeteFarrell14 Is it ? I'm sure Jimmy Saville just like Harris thought people liked him we know different now don't we.

I was beside him Whatever else you might say he was super pleasant and got on well with everyone around Not arrogant at all

@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.

@SPower14 @quarterfirst4 You mean these? x.com/horsevault/sta…

That reminds me.... Who has the best silks? NH & Flat? And should we do a Twitter competition for best all-time silks? cc @quarterfirst4

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

@ciaranodeorain Trying to find an old thread. No luck Sangster Tabor Magnier (pink) Shanahan (Bannow Bay) All the We Win colours My own personal ones & also Mrs B (both never been out yet)

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

@quarterfirst4 I think they might only have ever been used once, she was second string in the Magnier silks and they brought the pink cap but forgot the pink silks so they took a set of navy silks and paired it with the pink cap youtube.com/watch?v=-9UY_v…

@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

@PeteFarrell14 A lot of people hung around with Jimmy Savile just saying 🤷

@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.

@KildareGAA Lots of talk from Kildare GAA of developing hurling yesterday and throughout last week and then they show their true colours with second tier football getting top billing. Hurlers earned top billing and the usual sorts in Kildare GAA just don’t want to help it develop.

Fixture Confirmation: Double Header at Cedral St. Conleth’s Park, Saturday 14th June All-Ireland SHC Preliminary QF: Kildare v Dublin – 4pm Tailteann Cup Quarter-Final: Kildare v Offaly – 6:30pm Support the Lilywhites on a big day of championship action! #GAA #KildareGAA

@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

I wasn’t there yesterday but mentioned it to a friend of mine who was present that 6k was a reasonable crowd considering the inclement weather. His retort was “ I wasn’t aware the All Ireland Hide And Seek Championship’s were being staged there yesterday “

@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

@thebattler2000 @JoeSeward1 @DylanPhelan1 @Ladbrokes @BarryLenihan @amdracing @inpbaoc Why did they accept the bet if it exceeded the pay out limit?

I've just spoken to @DylanPhelan1 and he's confirmed that @Ladbrokes will be paying him for the €30 EW Double . Eleven days ago I broke this story Justice Delayed is Finally Justice approved . It avoids any embarrassment for the firm at Punchestown #DylanPhelan #Ladbrokes

@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.

@SPower14 @DylanPhelan1 It is .

Stable lad @DylanPhelan1 still waiting on six-figure sum from bet he placed one year ago as bookie is refusing to pay out independent.ie/irish-news/sta…

@BradMaxley Tommy Stack another one I’d say

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

@kevinblake2011 @irishkor @Franmberry would you know of any list of Irish trainers who have trained grade/group 1 winners in both codes? Struggling to find anything online. Thank you.

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

@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.

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

@MikeParcej Yes I have no idea why Leopardstown decided to axe the race when they created the DRF.

Big Interest and Its On The Line both entered in the main Irish hunter chase trial for Cheltenham at Naas on Saturday
