Time will tell….
The BHA, in their wisdom, have decided that Peter Savill is not a suitable candidate for the position of Chairman. Peter Savill – who has an intimate knowledge of our sport and the myriad headwinds, who would commit to the role full time and without pay, who has the support of 250 racing professionals from across the sport…
Savill has expressed himself “genuinely astonished” by the interview process, and by the fact that there was nil interest in listening to his plan for racing’s future…

We wait with bated breath to see who is appointed to the Chair, and let’s hope that the chalice is not a poisoned one…
No runners today. ELSA TAN still green and gawky and a little frustrating at Windsor last night. How hard is it to gallop around a bend ?? Work and progress…
The sporting frenzy of high summer continues. France v Spain in a World Cup semi-final later. The Open at Royal Birkdale starts on Thursday. England’s cricketers in ODI mode…
Sport. A lot of it. Love it. Bloody Hell…
