Good morning all, I've had to go early today as i have to pick up some Paris stragglers from the airport. Today we have 2 closed and 2 current of which, one is Irish. The answers will be at 6.30pm as normal, all your engagements and interactions are much appreciated Thank you, Enjoy!

I’d rather they concentrated on getting the indigenous population to speak English to a high standard (which is never going to happen) before they worry about the linguistic strengths of those who have moved here.

The outside staircase on the stand in #1 strongly suggests Thirsk but I’ll have a stab at Liverpool.
And I’ll venture Newmarket July for #2.
The closed courses are clearly Phoenix Park & Stockton, but I’m only saying that from answers already given.

Afternoon all, woop woop another wonderful weekend of sport on the horizon. Today we have 2 current and 2 closed of which 1 is Irish, not to difficult either. Answers at 6.30pm, all the engagement will be much appreciated thank you. Take a look in the replies for a xmas present suggestion

Afternoon all, with the July festival up coming and the weather set fair, there is no better sign of summer Imho. Today I have 1 closed and 3 current for you. Answers as usual at 6.30pm all engagements and interactions are "Most Welcome" thank you, Enjoy.

Interesting. Thank you.

Two things I don’t understand:

(1) I’d regard being in a hole financially as losing money, not running at a profit of £12 million pa, albeit that it used to be bigger than that.

(2) JC says all profits are re-invested in racing. So where is the £12 million going?

2 Perth
&
3 Redcar
have already been given.
I’ll have a guess at
4 Doncaster.

Afternoon all, although I look forward to them, I wish "The Derby"(Coleman could be watching) wouldn't come around quite so fast, I'm feeling old today for some reason. 1 closed and 3 current for you today, answers at 6.30pm. All engagements very much welcomed, so thank you and Enjoy!

Bright & breezy in Newmarket this Bank Holiday Monday. Clouding over this afternoon but staying dry. Rain expected tomorrow.

It’s been a quiet start to the season as regards runners for us so it was wonderful on Thursday when the two evergreen 9yos Hidden Pearl & Dereham each had their first run of 2025 in the same 1 mile & 6 furlong handicap at Yarmouth, and finished 1st & 2nd, both starting at 14/1. A very special day.
