Racing today

[tristars]

The way the horse went down should have been enough to have been pulled up

Townend looked very happy winning the national next day, he should have been in bits about golden dancer, but no , race rides in one of the toughest races no problem, no feelings that go deep enough to alter his plans

What a great result to go to retirement with! He's been such a star!

Fab re Bob Olinger. What a star. And lovely to see Beef or Salmon.

Brian Acheson, owner of Bob Olinger: "We made up our minds over the weekend [that he'd retire]. It would have been greedy for me to ask him to do any more again next season.

"He read the script – he's a Hollywood superstar. I'm stuck for words now".

The owners of Beef and Salmon own restaurants in Northern Ireland, one I visit often and have very many memories from, is called the Ramble Inn, it’s on the dual carriageway between Antrim and Ballymena…There are photographs of this brilliant horse all over the walls…
