A momentous day today as Bryan saddles his final runner under his name after nearly 40ys holding a license. On Monday he’ll be joined by Beth who has assisted for the last 5ys but has been immersed in racing all her life. It’s the end of an era & the start of an exciting new one

Unfortunately we are having some trouble uploading going information this morning, along with a few other tracks.
We had 5.6mm of rain in total yesterday.
We are Good to Soft, Soft in places. It doesn’t walk too bad at the moment but further rain to come.

Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks.
Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.

“Staying races like the St Leger have been out of fashion for a while, but they will come back, I am sure"

Really disappointing news for @Austbloodstock Al Riffa OUT of the Melbourne Cup with a setback. Hopefully we see him back soon. Will have a big impact on this year’s Cup weights. Tune into #TheVerdict podcast for more @Racing @leemottershead @nickluck
