@racingblogger
hope all is well boy. You are doing mighty stuff on the twitter fair play to you. I see you are using a lot more pictures these days. Some are ours, it’s great to see them being used. Only problem is we get no credit and no payment. Any thoughts ?
Sad to hear passing of Tom Foley. Prayers for Goretti and Family. A mighty character and brilliant trainer,Danoli being the highlight. What a day at Cheltenham in 1994. Hairs on the back of the neck stuff. Rest In Peace Tom.
Sad news that
@PeterCasey22
is gone to God. If there is a swear box up there he will have it filled within the week !! We will miss him.
Rest In Peace.

I once found myself at deaths door due to my mental health, I was lost scared and felt very alone. Gordon Elliott is human, he made a mistake. Nobody is perfect but nobody deserves to be pushed to that door. Anger will pass but life can never return.
John’s shoulder popped out with this fall. “I will bring your car to the hospital I told him” “No need, I’ll be back for it” And he was before the last race !! Never known a harder man 🙏X
