First Lieutenant let me down for a decent treble last night after S.N.A and the Hurricane won,didn't get to see the race did he run his race at all?

[Doogie Browser]

Nag called Ballesteros out at Haydock today I think, worth a sentimental 5er?

[Groucho]

Lurgan stuffed yesterday.......what chance Dungannon today 5.10 Ascot

[Donnellys Hollow]

Very interesting jockey booking in the charity race - Seámus 'Sos' Dowling riding for Willie McCreery.

Surely a tip in itself!

Cmon DH,  for all us uneducated punters,  does the smiley face mean "back the horse" ?

Just laid a few dollars on Mucho Macho Man for the Kentucky derby.  Gets underway in about 2 1/2 hours.

[Sea The Stars]

I've backed two - Pants on Fire and Master of Hounds.

Animal Kingdom the winner.  20/1 nicely.  Mucho Macho Man third.

Fallon on board Recital in the Derrinstown today.

He'll surely be expected to ride Native Khan at Epsom though and Moore will be on Carlton House. Interesting to see how Coolmore arrange their jockeys in the coming weeks. I think they made a major error in not trying to entice Dickie Hughes home.

Tipped up by Tom Segal yesterday.

I certainly wouldn't like to be riding Recital coming down that hill at Epsom. The Derby fav looks sure to come from the Dante now.

Fabre's colt looked a nice prospect in France yesterday but will he wait for Chantilly and the Curragh?

[Candyman]

Lytham great EW shout @ 9/2 in 8.10 at Kempton

Anyone else get this tonight?
Won at 14/1

Backing Seville at York today and also backed him for the English Derby.

Fallon said yesterday on channel four that he was coolmores best chance this year for the derby.
