Damned autocorrect. Bloviated, she meant ... bloviated.

Religion, eh? I can't make my mind up if we'd all be happier without it. The good would still be good and the bad still bad, but none would believe they had to control others in the name of god.

Lindsey Graham's plaintive call to the troops. He will not, of course, be sending any of his own family to fight.

7/1 now

probably the fines example of the Peter Principle.

Bunch of gormless fucking juveniles.

Again, I wonder if Lydia, or any reporter might pick Nicky up on his latest announcement?

Proves at least once a week that at his age you cannot learn good judgement.

Andy Burnham (Labour's sole chance of a future) will be grateful for Starmer unwittingly helping him dodge a bullet last night.

Won't be long till Starmer gets the Zack

Racing press letting Nicky away with it again. After saying for a week that the future of Constitution Hill rests on a crucial gallop this morning, he announces the horse won't run but says not a single word about the gallop. No reference whatever to it, like it had existed only in imaginations.

Kabral Du Mathan being trained for the Paddy Power Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham Dan Skelton won't commit Kabral Du Mathan to the Cheltenham Festival but admitted the forecast is in his favour.

This is potentially a very significant development.

Have messaged you, Steve.

If you are one of the recent orders of my book, thank you. Feedback is always welcome - genuinely - good or bad. As long as it’s honest and informed. I mean good is better, obviously. But as a marketer I can make any review work 😉

There's shattering global news everywhere you look, so fair play to them.

Even now in my mind,
that row remains VIVID –
I tried to stay CIVIL

BBC still giving oxygen to this master of fine judgement

They're betting the farm on Yogi. After Cheltenham his name will be BooBoo.

Another day. Another Constitution Hill article in the Post with Nicky gushing so much the reported needed galoshes.

Thanks, Tom. Wonderful creatures, who, in an ideal world, would live their lives in Elysian Fields here on earth. But, too many people believe that to merit an existence these days, creatures have to 'give' something. Humans included :(

Anglers Crag: A change Is As Good As A Rest My main horseracing interest in the past 30 years has been the demeanour of horses when racing. The way a horse goes through a race can...

Trainer Neil King a living cliché of the horseman's walk.

Thrilling to see Constitution Hill win like that. I'll be honest, I didn't expect it. Congratulations to him, his groom Jaydon, Oisin Murphy, Nicky Henderson and Michael Buckley.

Well, I feel a bit better after seing a good horse do what he loves rather than sparking with nerves each time he sees a hurdle.

Constitution Hill. Anyone know what the reason is for tonight’s run?
