First 3 races @Ascot on Friday each have just 4 declarations. It is mid November, going is good to soft. Where are all the horses ? What is happening? All the best horses in a handful of stables? #Ascot

SimonNott@SimonNott

Horseracing in the UK has got everything going for it. Quality, glamour, excitement, cash betting, great facilities on unique racecourses, history, Royal patronage. A good PR company would be able to sell that all day long on its own no need for gimmicks.

Hilarious to see all the old folk offended by the 18-25s in racing idea. Bore off.

I wonder what’s a better idea…get young folk in all dressed up very smartly with their pals £25 a ticket, retain all their data to cross sell similar events or 65-year-old Paul that wants to be in as OAP and bring his own Egg n Cress stuffed in his old jacket then gets outraged is £2.80 for a cup of tea.

Declan Rix@HawkWing2002

Some nice Crystal Ocean horses coming to the fore in recent weeks by the looks, Cristal d’Estruval just now at Warwick and Highland Crystal last week. Good to see, he was a proper horse with an unreal attitude.

Patrick Weaver@WeaverRacing

Wade Out understandably 50/1 in running. Many a jockey would have given up but Sean Bowen is quite extraordinary. Will to win.

Lewis Tomlinson@LTRacing_

There is not a single other person on Planet Earth capable of doing what Sean Bowen is capable of.

Stating it categorically, No 1

Road To Cheltenham@RoadCheltenham

On @nickluck: “So therefore, you’re saying that she is the de facto Champion Hurdle number one for Closutton?

Joe Chambers: “I wouldn’t say that categorically as I’m not the trainer at Closutton but at this stage Paul is very happy to ride her over two miles and I take a lot of confidence from that.”

Categorically No 2

Bryan Drew won the 2022 King George with Bravemansgame but believes Final Demand has the potential to rank higher, and said: “He’s categorically the best horse I’ve owned, without hesitation. Bravemansgame was rated 150 at the end of his novice hurdle season, while Final Demand is 158.

Who will be ‘categorically’ right!?
