Even @BethRigby is totally dumbfounded “I’ve never seen anything like it” at the £74 billion on spending and £41 billion in tax rises. As she said, none of this is laid out in their manifesto. Labour have lied to you, the left can never be trusted.

This is painful to watch. Robotic Rachel Reeves is rightly called out for lying to the public before the election, breaking manifesto promises, and her fictional '£22bn black hole'. She's rattled and completely out of her depth. This is an absolute car crash.

The gavel drops at $5 million! Mandy Pope strikes for the Curlin colt out of Cavorting and a full brother to Clairiere, consigned by Indian Creek, agent for Stonestreet. He is the most expensive colt purchased since 2006 at Keeneland and the top yearling price in North America this year. Congratulations to all on a wonderful sale!

👏 Superb to see two stalwarts of the National Hunt game - SAM BROWN and TWO FOR GOLD - battle it out in the Veterans Chase at Ascot there. 👍 Jumps racing is the winner.

Finally! Someone writes about the benefit to the overall game from the mare’s program and mare’s races at @CheltenhamRaces Well done Bill Barber 👏👏👏 and Thank God I didn’t see the Graeme Rodway “worst race” comment last week. Just idiotic…. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️

🗣 "The hurdling division could well have been even weaker than it has been without the mares' programme that has been created in recent years" The Cheltenham's Mares' Hurdle is not the problem - it's actually helping to paper over the cracks Read with Members' Club Ultimate 👇

I’m not sure if the Sumbe stallions have ever seen snow in their lives, but they certainly haven't seen this much!

REGATTA DE BLANC was outstanding to win on her debut under rules at Taunton yesterday under Trainer/Jockey Will Biddick! To step up to this class of race so early was not part of the plan, but due to Chaddesley Corbett being abandoned there was no alternative.
