Fortunate to have the support of my colleagues @SunRacing to write about an important subject. I’m a racing journalist and I have a gambling problem. If this can help one person who is struggling, it will make my year. Help is out there.

Between now and Aintree, we apparently have NINE 'Premier' racedays... I can just about see the argument for Lincoln day, but Goffs Spring Bumper at Newbury or Magnolia Stakes at Kempton? We've taken money from grassroots racing to shoehorn Premier racing in where it ain't

Looks like we may have to wait until 1st June for racing... If so, the BHA should come out this afternoon and say the sport will resume on that day. No ifs or buts and gives everyone 3 weeks to get horses ready etc.

Just seen the news that Whisper suffered a fatal injury today. I’m all for veteran horses who love the game and can run to a decent level continuing racing. But he’s run twice in the last 3 years and has clearly had his in. It is a dreadful look for the sport.

Your heart really goes out to Tom Hogan, his team & the Cahalan’s. Gordon was part of the family. Hogan said this last year: “I take him to the beach most weeks, it’s 100 mile journey from where I train but it’s well worth it because he loves the sand and sea under his hooves.”

What a brilliant race that #KingGeorge was, proper hammer and tongs job. A shame that, not for the first time this season, the winning groom has been pushed out of the way leading the horse into the winners enclosure for a big G1. Some just don’t have an ounce of class 🏇💨
