    • I see that local horse Mawkeb is in two races again.  R3 and R10  Favorite in both. Betted in so for R10  (6.5 / 3.30) Presuming it don't line up in both! Then if one has  bets in R3, a surge bet say on #1,   Mawkeb is scr,  is there reduction on my bet?

    • Tom and Noreen Quinlan's Athnid Stud has welcomed the first reported foal by the multiple Group 1-placed sprinter Shouldvebeenaring. The colt is out of the unraced Equiano mare Irish Madam, who is the dam of three winners from as many runners to date, including recent Dundalk scorer How'sthebai (Bated Breath). Irish Madam herself is a full-sister to the G1 Sprint Cup runner-up Strath Burn. The Irish National Stud's director of sales Gary Swift described the new arrival as “an excellent colt for Shoulvebeenaring [with] good bone, great depth at his hip and shoulder and an alert head, sharp and just like Havana Grey's stock.” He added, “It was also very fitting that a member of the Quinlan family welcomed his first foal as they are very close friends of the INS.” The G3 Prix de Ris-Orangis winner Shouldvebeenaring, who also finished second in the Sprint Cup and third in the Prix de la Foret as a three-year-old, covered 125 mares in his first season at the Irish National Stud in 2025. He will stand the upcoming season for €6,000.

    • throwing in a historical comment about Human Testing.  mid 80's! starting with a 'witch hunt'...  cannabis in  the "jockeys colony", Shock Horror!   Amusingly, a senor rider from America was visiting and having a few rides, he was standing by me with  reading a copy of FFlash,  with some Large Headline!!!   Gee, he says, all that for pot!!! Back home there would have been few riders! way more concern then around Class A drugs etc...  The drums were beating to get 'these druggies' and lets get these druggie stable hands and track riders as well.    *we all know they are on it*.     I had a chuckle and a chat with Bud Flavell (Sen Racecourse Dect) about how was going to have a interesting time delivering on that..  Unbidden fallout from above:   Cannabis testing came in,  leading to some Convictions!!!!  but slowly negated the use for Riders, Knowing how long it can stay in your system!  easiest solution!  trade up from Class C to the A's, out of your system way quicker!!!  Enough said for a Public Forum!    lol,  in person, I could share some stories about what I have posted above!
    • lol, reality doing a fine job on that sort of thing!!! for some.  "water of a ducks back" others "all rather booo who ho.." One of the (to me) unwritten rules that I like and followed on Channel X when it first started was "If you were going to be commenting directly about a 'named person' in racing that you would throw in you actual name at the bottom!   otherwise, it will be a bit of fun seeing this 'policy' (which is always Trumped by Statutory Law!) policed!
