The lack of respect for Paul Nicholls these days is astonishing He might not have the firepower he once had, but he’s a 14-time Champion Trainer & one of the greatest the sport has seen He’s like the Sir Alex Ferguson of horse racing Some people have very short memories

Believe me @PFNicholls has nothing to prove to the newbies in racing who tbh haven’t really got a clue He’s still for me the greatest NH trainer since I’ve been watching racing from the mid 90s onwards Still as good as anyone in the game

I love running because it is the most pure thing left in the world. There is no hack. There is no back-alley trick. You get out the exact measure of what you put in, down to the last ragged heartbeat. The only secret to running is to go out on the highway and run, and then wake up tomorrow and run some more.

Today's contrast: Australia has adults having a great time at dinner and placing big bets ahead of the Melbourne Cup tomorrow, the race that stops the nation. Here, a staged Channel 4 show is driving the debate. Racing brings people together. Betting is part of it. We should be proud of it, and make policy on evidence, not theatre.

Really disgusting Pic D’Orhy was moved to Skelton from Nicholls at the age of 11 coming on 12 after winning over £1m in prize money for Johnny de la Hay. After 18 years the phrase ungrateful bastard comes to mind.

Gambling is not evil, and a Restore Britain Government will reduce taxes on the industry. Adults should be free to make their own choices about how they spend their own money - a wild thing for a political party to say, I know. Britain has a successful gambling industry that supports local economies all over the country. In my constituency alone we have horse racing, a greyhound stadium, plenty of arcades and more. We should be encouraging responsible operators to thrive, not taxing them into dust. Problem gambling is an issue and should be properly addressed. But punishing an entire industry, costing thousands of jobs, for the actions of a very small number is not the answer. Restore Britain will back British gambling.

After a nice break we are finally back with the jumps season (slowly) getting going again this weekend with the Chepstow meeting! Last year was our most successful season yet finishing with 90 points profit and we will be looking to better that this season!

Don't beat yourself up mate, the waiting looks like discipline from the outside but from in here it's mostly years of bad bets 😂🙈 Side of the game nobody talks about these days, honing yourself. I'm biased, but once you truly understand your own edge and you know you can beat the market in your corner, the number of bad bets you have just evaporates (almost overnight). I think most of the ill discipline out there is people who've never gone deep enough to know what their edge actually is, so they fill the gap with volume You've already said it yourself, you've got a main fancy you're confident in, so go deeper on that. Pick the handful of races in the month you actually care about and let the rest go. It gives you a load more time for family and normal life, and the strange thing is your brain keeps working on the race in the background while you're doing the school run, so by the time you sit down you're halfway there That's just how I do it mind, there's lads having a hundred bets a day who make it pay, you've got to find what suits you. But we've all been sold the "never go big on one race" line for years. @TheDogHarry been saying the opposite for ages and nobody listens, they'd rather tell you that if it shortened you've won whatever the result and if it drifted you should be ignored. Plenty of them had value pie for their tea last night after the Arc 🤷‍♂️ There's no harm in specialising. Instead of a tenner on five, have your fifty on the one you really fancy. And yes, the variance boys will say that's how you blow up, and they're right if you don't know your edge. But if you do, why can't your fifty go on the next five big fancies as well? Turnover goes through the roof and you've only backed horses you actually believe in Caveat, I'm very respectful of the market, it's right far more often than it's wrong, which is exactly why I don't get many goes and why this is so hard to scale. But the bottom line is find the little corner of racing you reckon you know better than the market does and have a proper go at it
