Time to stop with Tommy's Oscar I think.
He is 11 now and steps slower than last year. Sad to see the decline and owes them nothing.

Completely agree with this, prepare the ground for winter jumps, which is the product that you are supposed to be selling and putting the stars on show to do. Pullen's incompetence is limitless.
You’d bang your head against a brick wall with how racing continues to be run.
The sun is in the same place every year. Change the race times? Start at 12. It’s not that difficult surely.
The ground, you know the forecast? It’s National Hunt racing, if you get rain and it turns heavy, so be it, have you seen Limerick in December?
People don’t want to run on quick ground. That’s for summer jumps.
Unless you make some sort of change we will be sitting here saying the same thing year after year.
It’s not really acceptable for racing not to be able to put on racing.
Dolling off hurdles and fences is a lazy answer.
If racing wants more people to attend and be involved start getting the basis right. If you can’t do that then some heads need to roll I’m afraid.

🚨 Calling all emerging sports journalists!
Do press conferences and mixed zones have unwritten rules? How do you approach a journalist you admire, and how do embargoes work?
Join me, @emmasmithjourno and @jtoneysbeat for a chat about it all on November 23rd. 🔗 ⬇️ 🧵
Dark day for racing atm @Sedgefield Soldier In Mayo has just jumped the shadow after they only dolled off one of the 2 fences in the back straight.
@CheltenhamRaces the aversion to watering regularly to maintain winter ground has provided a slippy & dangerous concrete surface.

Furthermore if the staff @sedgefield are rightly keen to protect the stricken Theo Gillard's privacy after their error it might be wise the put the screen around him in both directions so that his privacy is shielded from the tv audience too. How hard is it...............

Apologies - Paddy McCarthy is still on international duty with the Republic of Ireland! 🇮🇪
Players are back in today though for a physical session led by fitness and conditioning coaches.

Highly unlikely the numbers are this high, but also unless he is going to sit out for 12 months half of that money will be coming back.
That said a shameful bit of recruitment from the man that brought you De Boer.
Understand that Pierre Sage will be paid 18 months compensation by Crystal Palace after being sacked today: thought to be around £6m. Means Palace paid him £10m to manage 16 games after Lens got £4m compensation in summer. Sage still in frame for return to former club

A beautful tribute this afternoon on @RacingTV to Tom O'Brien, they took all the time required to do it properly and full credit to them 👏

Desperate news regarding the passing of Tom O'Brien at just 39 leaving a wife and two young sons. Thoughts are with them his family and friends and all at the Hobbs & White team and the Tizzards. May he RIEP #tomobrien

Sage has to go, but mostly because he wasn’t backed by our awful ownership. We need a defensive coach to have any chance of staying up.
@CEO4TAG it’s the end of the road. You’ve run the club into the ground, Selhurst is beyond toxic. Your greed has finally caught up with you.

The lack of respect for Paul Nicholls these days is astonishing
He might not have the firepower he once had, but he’s a 14-time Champion Trainer & one of the greatest the sport has seen
He’s like the Sir Alex Ferguson of horse racing
Some people have very short memories
Devil's advocate here but if you gave Glasner this squad and told him that Deano JP and Sarr would start 6 league games between them by mid November I think we would have struggled too @CPFC

In isolation sacking him after that display is harsh.
Outside of isolation we cannot defend, cannot score and our best player is being ruined in this system.
I doubt anyone can keep such a weak and unambitious squad up though. @CPFC

NAAS 2.04 Fad Eadrainn - He made a decent enough return last month, staying on to pass several horses over the last half mile. His career wins have come at this trip though and he is now back down to his last winning mark, this going @NaasRacecourse suits horses that are held up

Paul Nicholls who is finished as a trainer and has no future in the game wins his 9th Haldon Gold Cup with a superb training performance of Rubaud who led the field a merry dance.
One win from the 4,000th I believe. @itvracing

The players are still playing for someone, be that Sage, each other or the fans. Fair play to 10 lads at the end, plenty of Palace sides would have gone under there. @CPFC

Neither centre half either side of Richards is good enough, and their presence is on the recruitment team @CPFC
