As ARC boss Cruddace says 'economically illiterate'🤡

If there’s nothing to hide, then Cruddace shouldn’t have any problem with educating “economically illiterate” trainers by taking a more transparent approach and employing an open book policy to ARC finances!

We are again delving back into the archives to bring you the Cheltenham stories of owners of yesteryear. Today we look at the third Baron Grimthorpe – Grandfather to the current Lord Grimthorpe and his cousin, trainer Ralph Beckett – who owned Fortina: bit.ly/Chel24grimthor…

Martin Cruddace: 'The fixation on media rights is economically illiterate - I'll never allow a trainer to tell this company how it should be run'
Plenty of members from Racehorse Owners Association & National Trainers Federation will fundamentally disagree.
Sounds unnecessarily inflammatory & reckless to me.

I've just caught up on watching LuckOnSunday from start to finish. Some exceptional guests as usual. As always huge volumes of good sense from Ralph Beckett & much enjoyed listening to Dash Grange Stud, who I sense is going to become an ever greater influence for the good of racing.

☺️ 'It's been so nice to ride her every day and it will be sad to see them go... but excited to see their babies and maybe ride them!'

Emotions running high for Beth Potts and Josie Mansell who have ridden Lezoo and Prosperous Voyage every day at Ralph Beckett. #TattsDecember

🇫🇷 Lady Boba comes home best in the Listed Grand Prix de Fontainebleau for the Ralph Beckett & Rossa Ryan combo.

Hugo Merry bought her for 160,000gns from Hillwood Stud at #TattsOctober Book 1.

Regardless of the weather, this must be a nadir for the November Handicap. It's like transferring the Derby to Chelmsford. Utterly ridiculous and totally embarrassing for the sport.

🏆 THE YEEEHAAA AWARDS

The flat season is over, so it’s only right that Matt Chapman hands out the most prestigious awards in Racing to the winners and losers…

Let us know your thoughts, as well as what awards we should add next year 🥇

This petition calling for a halt to affordability checks currently has 58,000 signatures. If it hits 100,000, it triggers a parliamentary debate on the subject. This is a hugely important crossroads for British racing. It takes a minute to sign. Do it now. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6498…
