Two Thursday winners, including a cracker at 11/1 from Alan - well done Alan and Gaz. If I've left anyone out, I apologise; please leave a message on this thread and I'll update.
Current totals are below the daily table.
The whip debate is not going away, and so we drag on for how many more years buggering about? Ironically, banning it would disadvantage not a single person, group, company (bar whip makers), making it all the crazier. It's not as though it's a saddle or bridle. The ones who'd see, or ought to, advantages left right and centre after a whip ban are jockeys. Reason for a possible/likely ban removed:no danger of a rival breaking the rules and beating you:nothing to worry about dropping in a hot finish:fewer horses should hang under pressure:your balance skills and ability to drive a horse will not suffer due to a lesser jockey being able to resort to a whip.

Baby Sage is well regarded in Div 1 of the Warwick Bumper.
I've banged on about this before but racing at Meydan can be a bit of a bad joke sometimes. Take the 3.45 just now. First and second were the two Godolphin horses, obvs, who went off as joint evens favourites. It was 22/1 the field who on the ratings were clearly outclassed. What the eff is the point of it?
Wyvern won at 7/2.
Galahad quest wins at 13/2. Tracked and backed.
Been perusing the Eider and much as Kitty has going for him, the price just doesn't appeal. That fantastic run Bushy Park put up last time and the lightweight of No Cruise Yet are more to my liking. 5s the best I've seen about an Appleby/Buick treble today.

A late post.
I am not copying Robicheaux7 as I thought independently of Katoucha (Oisin Murphy) and Lyrical Poetry (JP Murtagh is in my combo on Dundalk and Meydan) in the 8 Runner field.
