Just finished listening to your My Martin Amis chat. Really enjoyed it. Gwyn was always Julian B in my mind's eye but not any more having read enough Barnes. The short story Career Move must be MA's overlooked minor masterpiece, fucking hilarious. @nivenj1.bsky.social

Checking out Answer to Kayf's pedigree ahead of the first at Naas today and went down a bit of a rabbit-hole. Never knew Kayf Tara and Opera House were full brothers. #horseracing #history

Beeb's interaction with racing has solely been to crap on it for ages now. Take it as read the chances of 'Cheltenham's November Meeting' getting a look-in on its website ordinarily less than zero.

No porn bots. No crypto scams. No blue-checkmarked trolls. Just vibes.

Hello to everyone who’s following me on here. If you knew me in the other place before it went all Elongated, you’ll know I’m partial to the odd bit of horse racing nostalgia. During the first UK Covid lockdown when there was no racing on the telly I ran a few picture quizzes. 1/…
