Where it all began - Rookies Fantasy (Rodney) my first ever runner 2nd April 2009. This was after a young naive me purchasing him and a bitch (Rookies Hawk - Cassie) at 12 weeks old and rearing them through until about 13 months in the back garden (!). This boy was a cracker - I picked him on his breeding off of data - Premier Fantasy x Gunboat Karen. The shrewdest of you out there will recognise this turned out to being the same breeding as the machine Barefoot Bolt.
Seeing him get to the track was incredible, I actually documented the whole journey on a poker forum at the time and often go back to read it even now. He had a big following as you can hear from the roar that went up as he turned too close down the back and we knew the boy was ready to pounce around the @Oxford_Stadium 450m trip. Absolutely loved this boy, he went on to win his first three races but unfortunately his career got cut short on 12th September 2009 due to a hock injury after he actually led round in top grade. It was devastating but Iāll never forget this lad and the joy he brought to me, my family and friends - phenomenal boy who loved everything he did and everyone he met.
The love, the anticipation, emotion, excitement and the buzz on the video captured forever and always one we revisit. Love you Rodders ā¤ļø

Look what happens when you have no idea who you are letting into your country in huge numbers. Illegal mass immigration in to Europe has got to stop. Governments 1st responsibility is to the safety of its people. That has not happened for a long time. Liberal Suicidal empathy is self destruction

It was built in 1876. It survived World Wars. It did not survive modern France.

I want to thank Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders for taking the time to let me meet some of the dogs yesterday.
My salary donation will feed their greyhounds for several months whilst they wait for a new home. A really impressive charity who look after these charming animals.
If you're looking to adopt a greyhound, I fully recommend getting in touch with their team.

Government cannot claim to care about animal welfare and working people while decimating industries that support them. Targeting businesses based on whether or not the PM likes them is elitist and just plain hypocritical.

@BHAHorseracing and I appear together in today's @TheSun warning the Chancellor he risks thousands of jobs if he increases Machine Gaming Duty. He cannot claim to represent working people while picking and choosing which working people deserve a future.

š¬š§ This is proper British (oh hush you progressives)
A 76 year old man is before the courts with a test of equality before the law! ⦠pay attention.
Timothy Miller was arrested for wearing a burka at an anti-migration protest. So heās turned up to court wearing it AGAIN!
Because Section 157 of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 provides a defence for face coverings worn for religious observance⦠It doesnāt say ONLY women. It doesnāt say ONLY Muslims.
And the Equality Act protects religion or belief, while Article 9 protects the freedom to CHANGE religion. And clever Mr Miller says heās āexploring Islamā
So now the court is screwed (not a legal technical term) and must decide whether his actions qualify as āreligious observanceā
Because the law must be applied EQUALLY, regardless of sex, religion or political opinions.
Heās challenging whether equality before the law really means equality for EVERYONE. (I think I love him)
And I think thatās bloody brilliant!.. now we have to see if the law is going to show its cards! ⦠Will it discriminate against this white man? exploring his religion? ⦠of course it will.
And then you will know ⦠that this brave man took one for the team.
Come on Team Britain š£
In a meeting with a supplier today and convo turns to dog racing.
āOh I watch this nutter on YouTube for a laugh on the dogsā
āOh you mean @barkingmadryan donāt youā
āYeah thatās the one, do you know himā

@MCYeeehaaa is right - ill-informed social media noise should never replace politicians seeing for themselves what they risk dismantling. Jobs. Community. Dogs doing what they love.
