I read the book a couple of years ago. A great sting, and well thought out. You’d struggle to get away with something so brazen nowadays Imagex

Palace Pier retired to stud. Good pedigree, multiple Group 1 winner and a top class miler, no fee announced yet but probably around the 40k-50k mark.

Race, though doesn't show the incident:

These Appleby inmates seem to have a dislike for the US stalls. Master Of The Seas reared up and struck his head on stalls and looks like theyre going without him in the BC Mile.

I never realized The Racing Post was owned by the Saudi Arabian's.

Thanks for that, sammy, could have been a lot nastier. Edited your post and took the timestamp off as was after the event and don't need tags on youtubes now. Hope that's ok?

Love watching the late night racing live from America, usually just one presenter and sometimes a tipster (Tom Collins is a legend), enjoyed the full ITV experience over the last couple of days

Things have different meanings over there, but you wouldn't get horses named 'Perfect Fanny' and 'Bummer' running at a UK course.

Sad news that GC winner Bobs Worth has passed away after a freak accident.
Absolutely loved that horse, no fuss or frills just a total professional who gave his all.
Rest easy old boy.

I was waiting on Sir Deschamps for a good bet that day :(


RIP Bobsworth.
