Aiden a perfect gentleman and a credit to the sport but unfortunately far too successful for everyone to like him.

Henry Candy seems a nice fella.
Yes, So is George Margesson
He has been head-hunted for a revival of the Green-Cross-Code adverts - " Look, Listen, Look, Listen, Look!"
He's been at the top of the game so long, that "the lads" all look like they could do with a Zimmer frame!

Henry Cecil asked for my advice once..... I was in a Newmarket petrol station he was in front of me in the queue to pay for fuel....
....He half turned and said that he had seen bubbles in his petrol and asked if it was alright...... I replied that it should be okay.... me realising then that it was the great Henry Cecil.
I don't go up to Newmarket much, but was there on a visit to Clive Brittain's yard..... I always wondered whether Henry was really concerned about the bubbles.... or was generously giving me a story I could tell on the Betfair forum?

Bubbles in his petrol….ffs how did he see it deep in the petrol tank ffs what a load of P….
This was back pre-2015, when Clive Brittain retired...... If you had the nozzle not fully into the tank, thinking you could get more petrol into it, then the petrol would bubble up to the top and be visible.....
....sometimes there used to be a fault in the cut-off sensor so petrol kept flowing......happened to me once and petrol splashed onto my shoes.
Genuine story !
I checked with the cashier who it was..... and he confirmed it was Henry Cecil .

Lovely gentle man is our Aidan. Especially after telling us all to keep the faith. 6.2 on here thanks AOP. See you on the Curragh plains soon for the Derby double.
Let me get this right it was all down to Aidan that horse won today, and it was all down to the horse that it was pathetic in the 2,000 Guineas?
Yes, Sir Henry. That's this thread sorted then.
His wife of twenty-four years and their children might have begged to differ.

and no-one's mentioned the drink driving incident yet either....
O'Brien is a member of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, meaning that he does not drink alcohol.

He is superb. As a drinker, I recognise a teetotaller from the way they can namecheck significant helpers in the blush of glory.
I think I would like AOB even if he was useless at his job.

Be tee-total if you want but why join a blah blah abstinence society?
What do they do at those meetings? Needlework?

Pray for Cecil, I suppose. And perhaps for the OAP whom he hit and broke her arm while over-the-limit.
That's if they even have meetings.

They probably stay at home and email each other about what they abstained from that day
Wonder if they look down on gambling.

Probably more genuine than that.
I hear he works for The Samaritans.

J-c-m: a quick google, and they're very much not prohibitionists. They appear to be all about encouraging others to see the benefits of abstinence for their own good.
They've got their opinion, the same as anyone else, and good for them. It's what makes the world go round.

Moron howling beneath your duvet,did you google HRA family thoughts yet?
Jack Berry is a great bloke for racing. Uses his time to help others without preachiness or selective finger wagging.
Just been reading a Jeffrey Bernard book and he rated Peter Walwyn as a top fella
He go on the shortlist?

Correct Quixall,1975 maybe but no chance when protection was introduced to prevent overspill and initiate auto cut off!!!
