A flash one, a dark one and one with a fairy light on! Thanks to the stables who helped me put this together - what a great, approachable and caring sport we operate in, for the most part.

Oh yeah - Paul Byrne is an owner, not a trainer.

My bad.

Stuck for what to do with the kids and can't be arsed with Peppa Pig for the millionth time?

You know anything with layers and depth and complexity and genuine vibrancy has been neutered in pursuit of optimisation, monetisation and standardization, leaving a big ersatz pile of nothing

You DO understand that on some level, don't you?

Horse racing is the antidote.

What ran well, what was unlucky, a few for the tracker, a couple of trainers for the Royal Meeting - and one to avoid like a French kiss at a wedding
