Yesterday was the turn of lesser-known trainer, Mark Rimmel, who ran ex-Stoute horse TIGER BEETLE for the second time under his name.
A half to PALACE PIER, his form suggests he was a frustrating one for Stoutey to train (and even when they took his bollocks off it didn’t help). Perhaps he got lost in a big yard as he’s clearly thriving at Rimmel’s Oxfordshire-based small set up.
The messages flew round for him late but I was too busy watching The Christmas Chronicles 2 to see it in time. Well played Mark Rimmel.
Who’s it going to be today!?
Headline Roundup
SPOTY shuns racing
Only 12 months on from Rachael Blackmore picking up the World Sport Star award at SPOTY, racing wasnt even really mentioned this time. It got about 10 seconds of accumulative air time when they paid homage to the Queen, but that’s it.
As the @BBCSport#SPOTY couldn’t see fit to celebrate the life of the Greatest Jockey Lester Piggott, just two reminders. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A reflection on where the sport is slowly heading?
Government asks for ‘your’ thoughts… again
I’m not sure what’s more delayed, the illusive gambling white paper the government have promised for so long or the monstrous shit show that is HS2.
It seems some facet within the DCMS are seeking further perspective from the public ahead of the ever-pending gambling white paper by asking for short essays on 5 questions related to gambling and its industry in general.
If you care, have your say.
❓ What is the scale of gambling-related harm in the UK?
📰 What should be the priorities in the upcoming Gambling White Paper?

So, who is our new sponsor?
UK Meds is an online clinic where you can get medications delivered to your door. Handy if you can’t be arsed to have those awkward convos with your doctor face to face!
UK Meds has just won the distribution rights to MYRKL and you are the first to hear about it!
Myrkl is a miracle pill that makes you feel fresh the next day, after the fun of the night before.
I'm serious. It works and that's the only reason they're sponsoring the newsletter. I swear by it so much, I reached out to UK Meds asking if I could work with them - and here we are now, plugging it to you.
This newsletter is powered by UK Meds.

ALTOBELLI for Fry shouldn’t lose. Was a huge yard gamble in Feb and now Fry says enough of the bumpers as he’s schooling so well. Should just win but price has gone so use as lev.
