Why oh why did i choose today to leave my phone in the shed!
Bold Glance....... well, i sent my friend a txt this morning, and as he hadn't got back to me i just didn't think much of it. Just found my phone, a voice mail and a txt message. Voice mail goes "sorry, mate just got home, Yes Bold Glance is an okay horse..... think he'll win today, f*** knows why Frankie is riding the other one" txt message said........ "hope you backed Bold Glance, he won at 8/1"  Sorry, mmsc.

Still not quite sure why on earth Frankie chose the other one. Spoken to my mate on the phone since, he said Bold Glance is no world beater, he's okay, but that race today was weak and Abydos isn't much good at all. Kevin Darley is a much better jock than Frankie anyway. I know, that would have been a very nice 8/1 winner

No chance of me winning it anyway. Unless all my horses decide to win every Gr1 race laft in the season. (and judging by some of the dark horses/dogs i have picked, i can't see that happening)

Yeah, i was a little surprised with that, considering how disappointing OO has been so far. I spoke to Daragh though, and he said Newbury has always been a lucky track for him. He is coming back from his Sister's wedding to ride at Newbury. Good luck Daragh, good luck Desert Authority.

Sheikh Steps in to Save Racing on Channel 4 Horse racing: An intervention by the wealthiest name in racing means coverage on Channel 4 for the next two years is virtually assured. The future of racing coverage on Channel 4 television appears to be secure for the next two years, after the station entered into exclusive negotiations on a sponsorship deal for its programming with Dubai Holding, a company which is almost wholly owned by Sheikh Mohammed. The deal will guarantee coverage of 80 days' racing on Channel 4 in 2008 and 2009. Dubai Holding incorporates a number of companies involved in developing and promoting Dubai both as a business center and a holiday destination. Since it is not concerned with bookmaking, Dubai Holding will be allowed advertisement time at the beginning and end of Channel 4's Morning Line program on Saturdays, in addition to the start and close of the live racing coverage. It will also have short "bumper" slots at the beginning and end of commercial breaks. It has been clear for several weeks that a sponsor was likely to be found for Channel 4's coverage, following Tote sport's decision to pull out of its current agreement at the end of this year. It had been widely assumed, though, that another betting company would be the most natural fit, with firms including Betfair and Paddy Power believed to be involved in preliminary talks. However, Sheikh Mohammed has often used racing to promote Dubai in the past, via his Godolphin operation and such initiatives as the Dubai World Cup, and in effect he has now stepped in to bankroll Channel 4's output. Hannah Walker, Channel 4 Racing's public relations officer, said yesterday that the Sheikh's involvement would not compromise the programs editorial standards. "This is a fantastic consumer brand," Walker said, "and the fact that it involved no editorial restraints [in respect of the Gambling Act], so that it can sponsor the complete schedule was one of the deciding factors. "We have enjoyed a great working relationship in the past with sponsors such as Totesport. They have never placed any editorial requirements on us or vice versa, and I can't see any reason why that would happen now." The exact sum paid by Dubai Holding to secure the sponsorship remains confidential - "it's a significant sum," Walker said, "and that's all we are prepared to say." However, it is widely believed that Channel 4 were asking for £4m over two years, and the final deal is unlikely to be far short of that figure. What remains to be seen is whether the new deal will bring about any major changes in the style or substance of Channel 4's coverage. A number of the programs presenters, including John McCririck and Derek Thompson, have been part of its coverage for 20 years or more, but Walker stressed yesterday that Andrew Franklin, C4 Racing's director is "always trying to groom new stars". "Channel 4 Racing is a strong product and it has its loyal viewers," Walker said. "You could say that if something isn't broken don't fix it, but we do have editorial reviews every year. Channel 4 Racing can only change and evolve if the sport changes and evolves, but it might be a good idea to canvass ideas on our programming." McCririck, who is the face of British racing as far as many casual observers are concerned, was thrown off a TV chat show yesterday for saying to Chris Tarrant's estranged wife, Ingrid: "You must be terrible in bed for Chris to leave you." Walker said: "We have a contract with him for our terrestrial racing coverage, as we do with all our presenters, but outside Channel 4 Racing we don't have any controlling power over them. "It was improper behavior, but I believe it was dealt with in a proper manner. Like a headmaster and a naughty schoolboy, John McCririck had a good public whip-down by Alan Titchmarsh."

Did you here that they have even bought into the Nasdaq
 As i am not American, i'm not quite sure what that means to your country, but it seems like a strange decision from whoever let them buy into it. I have heard from a few people and they are far from happy. It was good to hear somebody stepped into sponsor C4 racing....... i hope they don't make any changes, however because it is a great format.
