A gambler may have as many periods of pain and frustration as he does of exhilaration but at least he knows he is alive.

Keeneland time! I absolutely LOVE this meet.
Top quality turf and dirt racing. We get to see the first of the 2yos, specifically Wes Ward's potential Royal Ascot contenders. And numerous exceptional betting contests!
As interesting as today's card is, tomorrow is monumental.

The window to avert a massive global hunger crisis is rapidly closing. Must-read from the @guardian on the food security timebomb that will go off if fertiliser cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz:

So cool to watch her celebrate with all the friends, relatives, teammates, fellow players and even Augusta National members after the win. Pure joy.

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science...
The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.
However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

On Stuart Slater’s birthday, a reminder of one of the best route one goals you’ll ever see.
Boot. Flick. Volley.
Simple, but beautiful.

Well what a surprise. No place for Bowen. Maybe because he’s guaranteed a place for the final squad but more likely wrong colour shirt.

@ClaireCoutinho Nowt as rare as common sense in Ed's mad mad world.

This is what people hate about Net Zero fanatics.
They would rather hit made-up targets, even if it makes actual climate change worse.
Using dirtier imports rather than using our own is bad for our economy and it’s bad for the environment.
We need to get back to common sense.

@polkapolkaking @Racing_Tales I backed it for purely sentimental reasons. Not quite the same 😝

@Racing_Tales Dislocated my shoulder playing rugby that day. On the way to A&E bet on Amberleigh because after a significant ingestion of codeine and brandy in the bar, saw that it was Ginger trained and thought I was backing Red Rum 🤷♂️

Who enjoyed this absolute classic from 2004 with Amberleigh House & Graham Lee winning the Grand National
Give us your memories of it?
Did you back or get beat?

The price on NSF today is skinnier than Godber. I need to remove the tag from my tracker!
