What a terribly sad day. Gav gave our team an unforgettable ride with Princess. So many wonderful memories. I often think of her home town cup. One of Gus & Eva's biggest thrills. Condolences to Meagan and family. #RIPGav 💔 @discoa09 @spiderh2311

What's so disturbing about the #RubyPrincess is the beginning. I don't think this part is as well known, but was reported a week ago by The Guardian. As of today, 440 coronavirus cases have been reported combining both journeys.

This week's boutique harness track comes from Denmark's Bornholm Island, which is in the middle Baltic Sea! It's a bit picturesque & just 580m around (max 8). They have a matinee meeting on now. The locals start on a good note as the favourite salutes.

This week's project has been checking out trotting in Slovenia. As grass-roots as you'll see. Industry formed in the 1870s, betting small, local breeding protected. This is from last week in Ljutomer (birthplace, includes a museum). Trophies are super given 1k EUR 1st place! 🇸🇮

The time bomb that went off. Women's World Cup Sunday. Passengers were delayed departing from the previous journey. I recall a rumour about a passenger(s). They were eventually let off, this group boarded. They returned last week. One is now dead, add 107+ cases. Incredible.

@JasonBonnington I rarely share emotions JBon but this is difficult to hear. You passionately championed our sport since the day you arrived & while embracing all participants 'we the punters' will feel your departure the hardest. Onwards & upwards - the trots needs your enthusiasm more than ever

This is a very basic observation, but then again I'm very basic guy. Given the fantastic NYE harness crowds (always) wouldn't it make sense to have feature races on these nights? Unless this penalises the regulars or participants obviously.
