Wetherspoons in Cheltenham (The Bank) to be sold. End of an era.

Always loved starting off in there on the Tuesday, tables almost all gone by 9:01am, proper Christmas morning type buzz except the kids this time are all overgrown and look like they've wintered a bit too well. Genuine shame to lose it.

What's the score with tickets for the Dublin Racing Festival please chaps? Which are the best tickets to get? Few of us going over, meeting a few from Dublin so accomodation sorted already. The lads over there don't know much about the racing so I'm in charge of where we end up on course.

Just a reminder you can use your rewards for racing points to purchase tickets for leopardstown now
also,if you are staying in the city centre get the Luas (tram) to leopardstown and there’s a free shuttle bus to the course from there
General admission is fine

The only thing worse is the 60 day ban given.
When you look at the potential for serious injury from these incidents, Freddie Tylicki comes to mind, it’s baffling 60 days at the arse end of the season is considered satisfactory, and the fact he rides in the Arc makes it worse…

It was a disgrace and should've been a 1 year ban

If he did that to me I'd be getting the authorities involved
 
I Am Maximus has moved to Willie according to Michael Looby. An interesting move. Sorry if this is widely known and passed me by.

It was known a couple of months ago that all the Michael Grech owned horses had moved to Irish trainers. Can't remember if they all went to Willie Mullins but he already trained Brandy Love for Grech so would make sense if that's the case

Ah sorry - before I came out of hibernation.

I know Gallyhill went to Gordon in early July so assume he’s spread them around a bit.
 
….just reading an article on Josh Moore in the Injured Jockey’s Fund newsletter.

Apparently he suffered a broken femur when ‘Gleno’ fell in a veterans chase. He was taken to Aintree Hospital where fat leaked from the break and ended on his brain. He was critically ill & his family called to his bedside. Fortunately, he turned a corner but the recovery has been very slow.

The article suggests he’s probably ridden his last race.

It was touch and go for a while according to his family. It's nice to see he's making a good recovery.
