Might just be me, but Venetian Prince seems to be being criminally overlooked in the Italian Group 2. How is he over 4 times the price of Constitution Hill?
He has taken plenty of stick at various stages of his career, and I’ll admit I’ve dished out my fair share, not least after that Coronation Cup defeat, but it’s time to give the old boy Al Aasy his flowers. He has been an absolute credit to his connections.
Lovely to see the old warrior bow out with a final success.
Held on - JUST! 👀
Verhoyen clings on from the well-backed Moyassr in a thrilling finish on the beach @Laytown_Races.

I think that is close to sackable from Tuchel. A coach appointed at great expense for his tactical acumen and "ability to get over the line" needlessly forces England miles from it.
All that money... for that?

Horseracing in Leeds: A match race in time: sportinglife.com/racing/news…
Was really taken with Shaihaan up close at the Curragh. Doesn’t mean he’ll beat Pierre Bonnard today, but I’d be shocked if he doesn’t develop into at least a very smart performer. I’ve seen worse 50-1 shots for the Derby that’s for sure.

Timeform reaction to the 2000 Guineas, and why we might be hearing a lot more about a horse called Saber Strike in the coming weeks. sportinglife.com/racing/news…
I’ve had a soft spot for Bob Olinger ever since his inclusion in the Irish section of @Timeform 50 Horses to Follow publication gave me the chance write about the 1878 Lincoln County War in an official, if admittedly tenuous, capacity. Sláinte, Bob. You were a real one.

Grateful for the messages & support I’ve had after another successful @SportingLifeFC National League preview!
No fancy prices this year but the 8pt NAP on York (never in doubt 🤪) means we end +13.05 in 25/26, now just shy of 75pts profit in the column over the last 3 seasons🕺
Tried my first Beamish tonight. Why am I not seeing this in every pub from North to South. There’s no comparison Guiness. @wjnash13 is the beer oracle. He’s also quite good at the horses.
