Racing today

[Maddie Moo]

Over in Hong Kong, Ka Ying Rising (NZ) has now won in his 16th start in a row, taking the Hong Kong Sprint (G1).

In 19 races, he’s won them all except for two seconds. Although he races nearly always at Sha Tin, he did travel to Australia in October and won the Everest (G1). I would love to see him travel to Dubai or Royal Ascot.

Also I’m no Oisin Murphy fan but kudos to him for riding the whole race with no stirrups!!

Grand Geste just jumped fabulously in the Tommy Whittle. Some good old favourites and some new kids on the block today.

Some great finishes yesterday, although really gutting for Elite Racing to lose General Medrano.

I hadn't realised that, that's sad.

Good racing again today. Was thinking earlier today that I am possibly slightly strange though perhaps not on this forum in that I was grinning like the Cheshire cat yesterday seeing all the amazing horses at Kempton and particularly the Irish ones who I hadn’t seen before. Was really excited at seeing Fact to File who is stunning. I wouldn’t travel that far to see any human celebrity that’s for sure.

Wow Thistle Ask

Cruising.

 

[Maddie Moo]

I love going to see the top horses, still gutted I never got to see Shiskin in person. One of my best days was seeing Sprinter Sacre in person

Thistle Ask is some horse! Looked like Ryan’s Rocket might have lost his bridle when he galloped through the line

I'm very lucky in that although I have obviously worked with some household name horses, I have got to see those from other yards in the flesh too in the racecourse stables. The Henderson horses - Shiskin, Constitution Hill, Altior, Sprinter Sacre etc are always stand outs, but I did love meeting Lady Buttons and Not So Sleepy. I gave a lad a hand to load Noble Yeats once too.
Many are either surprisingly bigger or smaller than I'd imagined.

Lovely to see them. I get to go to yards occasionally through work but don’t always see the horses. Sometimes do though

Great racing today. I’m just catching up.
Completely irrelevant and off topic but how very sad that a gorgeous woman like Rebecca Curtis feels the need for all those fillers.

And delighted to see Robbie Dunne beaten by a woman! Misogynistic arse. . Go Olive!

I was also thinking the same, but didnt dare post!

The sooner lip fillers go, the better.

Doesn’t seem to effect her training ability!

Just watched the Savill Chase. What stunning horses. I Am Maximus ran a stormer.
Glad to see Noel Meade win (I support anyone who isn’t Gordon Eliot).

Interesting to see Harry Cobden go over for a couple of rides!

And great to see good old Bob Ollinger in good form!

Yes! I think Harry is a lovely rider (all those years of hunting!). Nice to see him wanted over there, an accolade to his skill. Hope he’s ok after the fall in the Saville, I thought the horse had broken down and was so pleased he ran on sound.

 

[humblepie]

Really like Bob Olinger. Good run. The Saville Chase was superstar packed. Still love Galopin des Champs.

Quick visit to Newbury today. Some nice racing.

 

[Gamebird]

I was at Donnie. It was cold. As ever!

 

[Clodagh]

I was out picking up, it was ARCTIC!

Good days racing today especially Lossiemouth winning in Ireland and No Drama This End for the Brits at Newbury. He’s looking like he’s the real deal and one for the future.

We watched Lossiemouth in the stables at Donnie, 3 of us round a phone. We thought Brighterdaysahead had her beaten!
