Almanzor back out tomorrow for first time since last season. Beat everyone last season including minding, found and jack Hobbs. Absolute belter of a horse.

Absolute shocking performance. Either hasn't trained in or needed that run to get rid of the cobwebs.

Almanzor whipped, shortly followed by Brametot. Fantastic performance from Eminent, leading every inch of the way.

Arrogate runs again on Saturday, after losing badly last time out at 1/9 odds on.

You can forgive any horse 1 bad race, but if he doesn't perform this time out then wouldn't surprise me if he was retired.

EW thievery if it stays at 8 runners, and possibly even if it goes down to 7-5.

Don't know if anyone has seen the video of yesterday's racing. Davy Russell one of the most experienced and well known jockey punching his horse pre race. One of the most shocking things I've seen in racing and totally unexpected from him. Things like this give the animal activists and grand national haters more of a reason to moan.

Shame on you Davy you cretin.

Speed figures compared to Black Caviar are marginal. Further explains how good a horse Winx is.

Haven't seen it mate, not sure I want to, but from your comment and other comments I read yesterday it sounds cruel.
Hope justice prevails

Been reading some absolute bull on twitter today people in the racing world trying to defend him saying he was controlling the horse. Never seen anyone control a horse with a right hook before. Crazy mate.

Probably a few weeks' ban imo.
Punching your horse isn't cool, but "ban for life" is a bit OTT.. it's hardly a Tiger Uppercut.
Sometimes horse are a bit wild and need to be strongarmed a bit and shown that the jockey is in charge.

Anyways.. YORK meeting this week. One of the highlights of the flat calendar.

And Arrogate got beaten again!

Nothing worse than animal cruelty, he shouldn't be let anywhere near a horse again.
