    You sometimes wonder what TB gets out of it. His betting coups are increasingly few and far between. And like he needed the money in the first place... *edit* having said that, I've never personally seen him happier than when his horse won the Harry Bloom Memorial Trophy at Brighton Races. The...

    My mate Mark once had a go on the coconut shy there. Fantastic shot and the coconut flew off. Well the top half did. The bottom half was nailed to its holder 😄

    I remember cajoling one wheezy old boy who I got chatting to on the train from Lewes across the platform at Haywards Heath because the train didn't stop at Plumpton as advertised. We had about two minutes to make it onto the train back to Lewes which did stop at Plumpton. Only on that train did...

    I've been on more than one raceday train over the years that is advertised as stopping at Plumpton and... just... doesn't... :shrug:

    Seem to recall it was a bit or miss as to whether the trains would stop at Plumpton on raceday. Been on more than one that sailed straight through Plumpton despite being advertised as stopping there

    Fair enough, not been there for a while. Think the last time I was there a 66/1 outsider came home in a three mile chase in a field of three, being the last horse left standing 😀

    11 year old running three miles round a ploughed field with a few hurdles thrown in, and two most recent runs ended Fell and Pulled Up? Not for me Jeff, not even each way at a hefty double figures price

    Looked to be in with a shout for second place for a short spell a couple of furlongs out. But not for long. Dearie me, is TB running many of his nags for not much more than sentimental reasons and just supporting the horse racing industry per se? Tho knowing TB, he'll be more likely banking a...
