@jamiesnowden @ayrracecourse @JohnnyBurke2 @saalracing @BangorRaces @GavinSheehan92 @Alexwalters89 @BetVictor @jamiesnowden an incredible sit by @JohnnyBurke2 . Patience personified for a fence to cajole him back i to the race then a superb finish to end up 2nd. Without the error first no question..Great run by the boy. Great effort the whole team.

#SoCloseYetSoFar #GitMaker is 2nd in the #ScottishNational @ayrracecourse under @JohnnyBurke2 for @saalracing where a shuddering error cost us victory! Whilst, #Senator & #AdmiralStewart are 2nd @BangorRaces under @GavinSheehan92 Well done team @Alexwalters89 @BetVictor

@jamiesnowden @HerefordRaces @GavinSheehan92 @Alexwalters89 @BetVictor Lordy....bet you can't wait to syndicate that lad out to reduce the input of those owners @jamiesnowden . Must be a real pain trying to tell you how to train the horse all the time!. Honestly!.

Thrilled to see #MaximumOffers #winning @HerefordRaces under @GavinSheehan92 this evening for his special (but tricky) owners! Top effort. #TopTeam #winner 83. @Alexwalters89 @BetVictor

@jamiesnowden @FfosLasRC @GavinSheehan92 @wincantonraces @JohnnyBurke2 @arwelrichards @BetVictor @Alexwalters89 Wendigo will be back stronger next year. That bit of cut in the Newbury ground in November for the Hennessey (OK I know it's the Coral G C now but it'll always be the Hennessey to me ..sorry Coral) will be perfect for our boy. As long as he doesnt go up another 2lbs for Aintree!

Delighted to have an across the card #double as #Cinquenta wins under a penalty @FfosLasRC for #MartinJocelynSteveBroughton under @GavinSheehan92 & #Obsessedwithyou wins a valuable class 3 @wincantonraces under @JohnnyBurke2 for @arwelrichards #winner 82 @BetVictor @Alexwalters89

@RacingTV Honestly. @jamiesnowden VERY patiently explained precisely why the entries were low. Mares are different. Mares are different to train. Just moving the race day doesnt work ffs!!! Then to compare it to a moved race for geldings at Haydock !!!. Come on....Read the room.

Jamie Snowden landed the Bruton Mares' Handicap Chase with Obsessedwithyou at Wincanton today and then shared his views on the way races planned for Cheltenham this month have been rearranged with James Millman.

@ArsenalN10 Because he is by a bloody mile

How is he even offside?

@TheRacingVet_ Cannot tell. But the way a pelvic crack can shift under muscle pull means it cam worsen with that movement to the point of finishing. No question if he had been pulled up straight away it would have helped. Should PT have known?. No idea. None of us do. Only the man on his back.

Just a few thoughts on Gold Dancer’s tragic incident today: If a fracture of the spine or other structure occurred due to the fault at the final fence, which remained small and stable at gallop but became displaced/worsened when transitioning to a trot.

@TheRacingVet_ My word Ben, there are a fair few ill founded replies on here. As a vet myself those questioning yours and vets integrity make my blood boil. No question Gold Dancer takes a few strides to collect his action post the final fence fault. Is his action right after that to the line?

@FutOffsides If you are going to try to swing that you pillock take a look at the Arsenal goal..... same applies.

🚨VAR missed an offside offence in Southampton's winning goal against Arsenal. 📸Larin, who was in a clear offside position, obstructed the keeper's vision of the ball. ❌IT'S OFFSIDE. 👉The striker causes Kepa to react late, therefore impacting his ability to save the ball.

@kimmoFC Maybe put the sides up so when he misses the goal it directs it back in a la 10 pin bowling for kids. Get lost pillock.

What a coward Ryan Manning is. Trying to hurt a player half his age. x.com/nilsensverre75…

@piersmorgan Only the once tho!!. Feed the Loch Ness Drogba and also Shay "the knife" Charles and they score too. Bye bye Arsenal.... First team outside the top 5 in the Prem and in Europe to beat Arsenal in HOW long???

BOOOOM! Feed the Gyok and he will score…

@PuntingWinners Hands and heels ridden out and ran right through the line is what I saw. Not sure I agree tbh. Time will tell eh?.

I wouldn’t run Constitution Hill a yard over 12 furlongs. Talk of cup races are way off the mark imo

@RacingTV What speed did he hit between 1.5 and 1 furlong out. Was impressive

@RacingPost He’s won a kempton race by 2L hardly winning an arc

What a superstar ⭐️

@kevinblake2011 @JosephOBrien2 @NaasRacecourse @declanmcdonogh @nickluck @HRIRacing @MCYeeehaaa See you at Newbury then Kevin. Really look forward to seeing here there. Will @jaynefarwell be leading her up there?

Beset picks up where she left off for @JosephOBrien2 by making all to win the Devoy Stakes (Listed) at @NaasRacecourse in very game style under @declanmcdonogh. Plenty of options for her next start, but the John Porter is a tantalising proposition…… 👊

@TBJ_Racing Said that since his return run. Not pushed. Impressive. Showed what he can do last year in beating Lulamba. Ignore at your peril

Is Poniros being overlooked in the Champion Hurdle? 100/1 winner of the Triumph 🤯 10/1 currently for the Champion Hurdle! Steady return behind Lossiemouth and Brighterdaysahead 👀 Could he be the one? Paul Townend surely rides him?

@that_stocks_guy @currys The wife and I are about to whack £300 on a new vaccuum cleaner. 2 dogs = loads of hair !!!. We were going to @currys . Not going to now ...not until we k ow this has been sorted. Suggest a few others follow suit

#ConsumerRightsAct #Currys #KnowYourRights A rant for @currys, who are currently breaking the law. Normally I'd let it go, but your customer service is a shitshow and your desire to wash your hands of the faulty items you sell is illegal. On 10 October 2025, I walked into your Exeter shop and bought a PCSpecialist computer. This was the birthday present for my 12-year-old. A present they'd been dropping hints about for months with the subtlety of a child who remains terrible at poker. They'd saved their own pocket money towards it. I topped it up. It was, genuinely, a lovely moment. For four months, it was perfect. Homework. Games. The full experience of being 12 in 2025. On 22 February 2026, four months and 12 days after purchase, it stopped working. No final farewell. It just… stopped. My child sat there pressing the power button with increasing desperation, and nothing happened. The machine that had cost a significant amount of adult money, and a not-insignificant amount of 12-year-old pocket money, was dead. Fine, I thought. This is what a receipt is for. I'll call Currys (the shop I bought it from, with my money, as a birthday present for my child) and they'll sort it. Your staff told me that my contract wasn't with Currys, and that I should contact the manufacturer. They also told me to go in-store with the machine to have it looked at. I went in-store. The in-store staff told me to call the number I had just called. I called again. I was given the phone number for PCSpecialist. Phone → store → same phone → manufacturer. A perfect circle of not helping. A masterpiece of redirection. If it weren't happening to me, I'd almost admire it. Now let's talk about the law, because I think someone at Currys may have forgotten it exists. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is not a suggestion. It is extremely clear on this point: when you buy something from a retailer, your legal contract is with that retailer. Not the brand on the box. Not the manufacturer. Not some third party you've never met. The shop. The one that took your money and handed you a receipt. Within the first six months of purchase, the law presumes the fault existed at the point of sale. I don't have to prove the computer was faulty when I bought it. Currys has to prove it wasn't. The burden of proof sits entirely with them. During this window, I am legally entitled to a repair or a replacement, and if either of those fails, a full refund. We are currently inside that six-month window. I bought it on 10 October 2025. I complained on 22 February 2026. I am four and a half months in. The law is not ambiguous about what happens here. What makes this particularly spectacular is that Currys' own published policy acknowledges the six-month framework. It is written down on their website. They know the rules. They have typed them up and put them on the internet. They are simply hoping that their customers are too tired from the runaround to actually enforce them. PCSpecialist are entirely blameless in this story. They manufactured a machine. Currys sold that machine to me. My dispute is with Currys. Directing me to PCSpecialist is the retail equivalent of Tesco selling you a gone-off chicken, and when you try to return it, handing you the farmer's phone number. The farmer didn't sell you the chicken. You don't have to knock on the farmer's door. You go back to the supermarket. This is not a controversial legal position. It is just how shops work. My 12-year-old has been without their birthday present for a few days now. They have been, I have to say, considerably more gracious about this than I have. They haven't complained. They've been patient. They are, in this situation, the bigger person — which is a sentence I never expected to write about a primary school leaver, but here we are. They shouldn't have to be patient. They should just have a working computer. So this is where we are, @currys. I know my rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. But before I go down the small claims court route, and start contacting every journalist in my network on a slow news day, I am giving you the opportunity to do the right thing, in the hope that public accountability is more efficient than your customer service helpline. A child saved their pocket money for this. Sort it out.

@mjyharris Goid point made Micheal. However would genuinely be interested to l ow the stat on the % of 9yo winners vs 9yo runners, same for 8yo etc all the way down the age groups. Yhen maybe (asking a lot here) the same per Timeform ratings grouping. Say 116 and up 111 to 115.etc. per age.

As spectacular and as uplifting as Constitution Hill’s visually impressive performance was at Southwell we mustn’t forget that he is a 9 year old and that has implications when planning his future on the flat and his ability to perform at that level. In the last 50 runnings of the Coronation Cup at Epsom the two oldest winners were Apple Tree in 1994 and Cirrus Des Aigles in 2014 who were both 8yo’s. In the last 50 runnings of the York Ebor the oldest winner was Sea Pigeon in 1979 who was the same age as Constitution Hill (9yo). The predominance of winners of the Coronation Cup were 4 and 5yo’s and the predominance of winners of the Ebor were 5 and 6yo’s. The stats are very much against horses of his age winning these races.
