Not a big horsey fan at all. but there is no way the jockeys are going to take the chance and let younger hungrier and possibly better jockeys take their rides (phnar phnar) while they protest away. Storm in a teacup imo. Rules are there now.............. get on with it.

What does phnar phnar mean?
I believe it's a strange kind of laugh people do to show sexual inyourendo (phnar phnar).

uurgh, is he some kind of sexual deviant then? Animal fetish or something?

Lady Fashion also fancied in the 8.30, so will try an nice e/w double 11/2 and 5/1 on the two Ladys...

Why are they running so late over there anyway??

Got tripped up in running when ready to makes it move...

I have had enough of the Ladies after those two Lady's tonight. Ah well, that's racing.

Magic sign going 1/2 Frankel

Brilliant out of Spencer. Rode them all to sleep from the front.

Yep. They must have all thought he was really going to tie up in front but the horse stayed strong for long enough to get home in front. Great stuff from Spencer indeed.

Good interview with Dickie Hughes on the BBC. He spoke very well and has showed great humility to offer an apology to Sheikh Fahad.

I wonder how much better Frankel can get next year.. Great for racing to have a horse like that

He definitely looks like he's maturing. Much more relaxed and less headstrong today. You could see him getting 10f.

Interesting to see if either America or Dubai are on the agenda.

How annoying is Clare Balding?

Do you think he would have beat STS over 10F?

Those in the know did the use of the whip get the French up on SYT and therefore effect the outcome of the race?

5 day ban and loss of his share of the 700k prize money.
