My first nap there as well....could be on to something

Craig,

I agree that mud lovers need to be watched. I live in Cork and we have seen the ground turn in our Gardens more than Kildare or South Dublin in the last week.

Always wise to look for a long chance who has form on slurry.

As Luxembourg is a Grandson of Montjeu in theory this should help but I think Camelots prefer good ground.

I will always tell people to forget VPNs not just because I don't know how to install them but the atmosphere of the Bookies is the best place to watch such a fantastic weekends Racing.

Also I think the RTE Player is allowed in the UK without a VPN which might be due to our relationship with N.Ireland.

It is a rubbish app.

I also agree with Joe on today's Guardian Forum.

I know idiots shamed themselves at Shamrock Rovers but to cancel the PL and EPL where Fans know how to applause seems a missed opportunity.

It also affects the calendar for England or Wales progressing in the Football WC.

Why would someone who loved Horse Racing want it stopped?

Surely there are more imaginative ways of showing respect.

Thanks Craig and EGS. Sadly The Guardian eventually decided my views + responses were not worth keeping up - they have deleted the whole thread.

Good point well made EGS - maybe the bookies or the boozer! Most online bookies offer freeview anyway these days, either with, or without, a nominal wager, for those stuck at home! A friend was on Orkney last football season and Liverpool were free to air on RTE, but he couldn't watch due to geography - maybe it's changed, I'm not sure.

Which kinda brings me to football and Shamrock Rovers - not heard or seen anything that went on other than the text bit on the news so can't comment. In a way I'm glad they have called it all off - both Liverpool (my team, still have a season ticket out on loan) and Celtic were at home tomorrow, and with all the will in the world, there would be an element of anti-royalty/establishment at both grounds. So maybe for the best...........

At least there are two (hopefully!) decent meeting of G1/2 and listed races with a few HC thrown in for measure! Can focus on that 100% rather than the footy!

I think you may have jumped forward 24 hours with your selection!

Make Me King also obliged at 3/1.

5.00 Ballinrobe - Bonnie Kellie (each way)

David,

I am a Marxist/ Leninist.

I was always over promoted but I was useless at 26 at the age when QE11 acceded to the throne and definitely not ready for an end date of 70 years in my Job.

I am hoping to progress to 40 years in my Job.That takes some gumption.

70 years is just beyond me as I Don't have her stamina.

As Races are cancelled in the UK I have to look to France. St.Cloud. 14.25. GIPSY CHIEF.

I will come back to the spelling at some point but that is my nap

I use cally myself TROTSKYITE and no one talked to me.you are LUCKY.

Trainer Jp ryan DOUBLE.
