One of the many things I love about this sport is the never ending merry-go-round of stories that tickle my fancy and sit there almost crying out for me to at least make some kind of comment to my loyal readers, wherever they are. This week I feel the need …

When Ron and I recorded the Podcast this afternoon (Friday), I did promise a passing mention for the Cheltenham Festival Bumper and having seen the nonsense on the Racing Post website I simply cannot resist. Now I do decry my journalistic colleagues, and I am as aware as anyone that …
