I've just seen this on their website...absolutely appalling stuff Angry
It's under the heading 'Champion Stakes hero Noble Mission retired' by Katherine Fidler 2:34PM 3 NOV 2014

"NOBLE MISSION, who provided a fairytale ending to British Champions Day when emulating his brother Frankel to land the Champion Stakes last month, has been retired from racing to take up stallion duties.

Sent out in his early years by the late Sir Henry Cecil, Noble Mission has been a flagbearer for the trainer's widow Lady Cecil. Always a consistent performer at Group level, Noble Mission was transformed by front-running tactics, winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in addition to being awarded the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud on the disqualification of his half-brother Spiritjim"

Spiritjim a half-brother? Shocked
So did Frankel's dam Kind slip another foal out that we were unaware of?
Technically as another son of Galileo they ARE half-brothers but anyone with the slightest knowledge of horse racing knows that is utter balls as there are innumerable horses that have over 200 siblings all of the SAME age!

That article is from a WOMAN who clearly has ZERO interest in the sport!
Wouldn't you think a pre-requisite of their recruitment policy would be for their potential employees to have some knowledge/enthusiasm?
That's one of the major reasons why that publication is and has been so bad for many years!

A typically modest handicap of its type and the first pair, trained by Dr Richard Newland, came well clear late on.

JAYO TIME won in style and made it 2-2 since joining his current trainer. He went up 7lb for scoring at Wincanton last month and, back down in trip, made a mockery of that. The manner in which he joined the leaders turning for home was impressive and he´s evidently now thriving. Expect to see him turned out quickly again as he´ll escape a penalty.

Anton Dolin had his winning stablemate in his sights two from home but was never going to get to grips with him. He was the only one to go with him, though, and posted a definite return to form back over hurdles.


Er, Anton Dolin had been trained by Michael Mullineaux for its last 4 runs prior to this one....

4:40 Wincanton Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race

SEE THE WORLD got his career off to a winning start with an extraordinary performance. The imposing 5yo sauntered into the home straight having hugged the inside line to that stage. However, he looked like pulling up when veering violently left as he straightened up. Once his rider got him organised again he hit top gear for pressure and ultimately won with plenty to spare. Out of a winning hurdler/chaser, he obviously has plenty of talent and it will be fascinating to see what he can do on a right-handed circuit.

THIS race was run at WINCANTON ... a right-handed circuit.

It is surprising to see TAROOQ, one of last season´s leading AW sprinters, so quickly relegated to this level after a couple of below-par effortssince runnibg wel here last month. He is clearly the one to beat with the longer trip not an issue.

Newyearsresolution: Triple point winner but 0-12 under Rules and, although not disgraced over 3m here last time, has a bit to find with Whichwaytobougie; may find a few too good again.

"has a bit to find" -

It was 9 lbs better off - for finishing just 4 lengths behind ...

As Newyearsresolution ran from 9 lbs 'out of the handicap' last time.

Spot of linguistic difficulty for the Post online news section:

"The winner of the William Hill Imperial Cup on Saturday week could net a £100,000 bonus if they follow up at any race at the Cheltenham Festival after Sandown again tangled the carrot to connections"

Do they have to untangle the carrot before they can claim the money?

Sea Pride improved on what she had shown at Fontwell and was just pipped, denying Sir Mark Prospect a first winner under jumps rules for a long while. This big filly is well bred and connections will be keen to get a win of some sort out of her.

A somewhat Freudian slip!

QUOTES Most types of ground seem to come alike to Carraig Mor and he jumps really well when he gets into a rhythm. He can get a bit worked up but if they can keep a lid on that he should keep going the right way - Noel Fehily, trainer.

Hi Vic, who went up 12lb for his Southwell romp, didn´t jump that fluently and was chasing in vane from five out. He acts well with cut, although this surface looked a little too tacky for him.

Love to hark back to when the King Of Liberalism Kevin Pullein was fronted by a couple of punters that allegedly recognised him before an England home freebie and asked him what he thought the score would be..

"Sorry Lads I have left my goal notes at home" was the reply...

For someone that advocates a Winter break in the Premiership (not many copies of that rancid paper sold then fella) he has a remarkably short memory..

Has heading been banned yet fella (his major crusade) another crackpot suggestion from someone that should not be allowed near the written media..

zipper you are their ideal punter as the rag must cost just shy of £800 a year and for what...

Pullein talking sh ite the Editor getting a column that a Crayford kennel cleaner could write and a Golf Tipster that seems to have more holidays than a School Teacher.

On a Saturday the frequently Bankrupt football expert that used to get the odd game for Liverpool comes into play along with the usual minimum wage liars from the alleged "Bookmakers"..

It is all bought and paid for by those that put their lies into adverts in the paper...
