Jockey Gavin Sheehan given 14 day ban and Trainer Lucy Wadham fined 3 bags of sand - for schooling a horse during a race. The horse has also be banned from racing until 1st Jan.

Both will now miss the Cheltenham Christmas meeting during their ban, which is an event where they normally do quite well.

Not been on since the 15th of this month so I hope so 

I'm wandering if he got one of those mammoth goliath bets up and he's gone and retired on a paradise island somewhere. But no, hope all is okay and he's back with us soon.

A Villa legend in the making. In 20 years time when we discuss our best players, he will be up there. 

He already is.

Dont get why Jonbon is odds on here and I think Edituer Du Gite is too big at 12s so had couple of quid on him incase.

It's always the same with these McManus hurdlers. I don't trust it either, Edwardstone and Edituer Du Gite are no cobs. 

I've stuck a few quid on the market for "Jonbon not to win" at 5/4 and a few quid on Edituer to win. As you say, too big a price in a 4 horse field.

£1 Win Lucky 15 for today

Chel - 1.10 The Kemble Brewery

Chel - 1.45 Ginny's Destiny

Chel - 2.20 Wayfinder

Chel - 4.00 Brechin Castle. 

Also had a few quid E/W in the 3.30 on Too Friendly.

Will have a look later on and see if anything else worth getting on E/W in the 3.30 as it's a big field and many look like they can make the frame.

Going for Resplendent Grey to win in 3.30 Chel.

Yey off the mark with Buddy One but only few quid back . 

Impressive winner there too.

Gone for Il Ridoto in this for win.

Stuck Easy as that on E/W

What an absolute performer. Not a bad round of jumping until that one fence where he met it wrong.

Got 11/2 last night luckily as he went off 3/1.

Yeah I fancied the latter to run a big race providing he didn’t pull up. Ran well for ew money .

He did mate. I thought he was going to fade away at one point but he stayed well. Ventia Williams horse in 2nd also stayed well.

Nice to get off to a bit of a result.

I picked out Broadway Boy in the 1.45. Hopefully a decent race for us both mate as it was between this and Mr Coffey. 

Gone for Mole Court as a Win and Undersupervision on E/W both in 1.10 Chel.

Good luck to the running commentator with that name 

Villa Colours and I've stuck a nice single on it too Ruge.

Chel wasn't looking that good tomorrow and it wasn't that good today to be honest.

Thankfully, Venettia Williams got me seriously out of the shit with a place in the X-Country.

Are we picking a horse each tomorrow again? 

I'm in mate. Mine for the Lucky-15 tomorrow:

Uttoxeter 3.57 - Jo Arengeot Bey AA  3/1

Chel 2.55 Musical Slave 16/1  Win 

Chel 1.45  Madara 16/1   E/W

Noted this one to keep an eye on. Was closing in through the field well and finishing strongly before falling, in the same C+D last month.

Chel 1.10  Skradin 50/1   - E/W.   

Give it a few seasons and he'll be off.

On the other hand, he could just come across as a tw*t.

Isn't that already in place? 

Despite all the beasties and insect eating tasks he may be forced through on this show, there is no doubt he is going to use this as a stage to get his political point across and why everyone needs to vote for Him/Reform.

He will no doubt make all of the right noises that a majority of people will want to hear, alongside getting his huge pay check.

The headline on the ITV news last week about this was that it had been "cancelled"

Obviously provoking ideas that it had been discontinued because of something controversial.

 

Turns out it's just nobody buys it anymore.

That's not being cancelled

'Discontinued' was the correct word they should have used because it will "no longer be manufactured" - rather than 'cancelled'. Fools.
