To David Jennings of @ The Racing Post

But and it’s a BIG BUTT have you forgotten what he said already before this years 2000 Guineas?

On who was to run and who wasn’t?

Because nugget it’s all in black and white and I wonder is your nose bent from shoving it up Aidens Ringo?

Have you ever heard of the word "naive",Delbert

Tell me if I’m wrong , he declared that PRico was being being sent to Newmarket and Gasstad to France, which all seemed VERY odd to those who’ve watched the horses and noted where they’ve won!

So please tell us why as you say in this clip you get a little irate about punters dying on X or wherever that Saint Aiden puts people away as to where a horse will run?

And let us know why the Sporting Life were reporting Minnie Hauk to be lame after the substandard Taaters Gold Cup?

And yet you who was at the track and spoke to St Aiden thougout the day didn’t report this yourself, you bent nose *unt!?

AOB speaks with "forked tongue".
Shock horror

Ombudsman is the next star 10f performer on track at Sandown on Thursday in a division brimming with talent

Mon May 25, 2026 · 17h ago

Ben Linfoot



The three-year-olds are really going to have to go some to infiltrate a strong older horse pool over 10 furlongs this season.
Constitution River looks the clubhouse leader over a mile-and-a-quarter amongst the Classic generation at the moment, but pre-Betfred Derby it’s very early amongst the three-year-olds with plenty of water to flow under the bridge.
Coming out of Royal Ascot that picture will clear up ahead of the Coral-Eclipse where it is with hope at least one of the three-year-olds will rock up at Sandown to take on the older horses.

But before then those older horses need to sort out their own pecking order over the distance and the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes is beginning to look like an unmissable clash on the second day of Royal Ascot.
Favourite at a best of 11/8 is the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained Daryz, the Prix de l’Arc De Triomphe winner developing into a most versatile performer at four after wins in the Prix Ganay (10 furlongs) and Prix Aga Khan IV (nine furlongs) on his first two runs of the campaign.

The son of Sea The Stars looks quicker for another winter under his belt and while the Prince Of Wales’s will be his toughest task over 10 furlongs to date, it’s no wonder the bookies are running for cover.
Minnie Hauk, who Daryz beat a head in the Arc last October, had the chance to follow suit in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on Sunday but was below-par having found to be lame afterwards.


She could bounce back if recovering in time, particularly if she got a strongly-run 10 furlongs with the emphasis on stamina, but it was the Tattersalls Gold Cup winner, Almaqam, who threw his hat into the ring for Prince Of Wales’s glory.
Ed Walker’s horse was threatening to become disappointing for a horse of his ability, but he landed his first Group 1 thanks in part to a proactive Kieran Shoemark ride on good ground that might not be his optimum given he likes a bit of cut in the conditions.
To do it on his seasonal reappearance, as well, was particularly significant as he has seriously come on for his first run the last few years and that puts him right in the mix for the Royal Ascot prize.

It still begs the question WHY isn’t this vital piece of info NOT reported in an article on birth sites that blame the pace for the defeat? Confused

It’s not good enough and certainly easily missed and raises questions about standards as well as other questions.

He can come onboard and explain why he’s either inept or just another rising the train

And if news really that infuriated he and Jonny D are welcome to an old fashioned red phone box!

Autistic delusions again from,Delbert

* And if he’s really that infuriated by punters not following st Aiden ….

Don’t fake it hook nose, talk it walk it

Grow up Delbert.
AOB owes punters F/A and that is what they usually get

I see Lee Whotishead has written an article on how to get the Derby back, come onboard Lee let’s discuss the real issues instead of you earning awards and and wage for avoiding the obvious.

The above articles show that Racing is bent as are those who earn their wage reporting on it.

It’s either that or you’re a Fcking useless as our current PM, so are you inept or bent?

Delbert has concluded that life is not fair.
A remarkable conclusion by the Autistic one

The attention to detail spotted what simpletons like you missed x

"Entitlement" rules in the minds of cretins,Delbert

Again you’ve shown yourself to be thick, go plague someone else and stay happy with your position on obvious misleading information shared by racing journalists on THE leading racing trade newspaper.

I am a realist whist you are a non punting cretin,Delbert.

Why was it NOT reported Pen?

By the guy who’s known St Aiden for 20 years?

No other race readers here mentioned it including yourself when I posted yesterday about it yesterday.

Is that an edge? The edge that they talk of having?

That's what the vet told the stewards.

FAO delawoffleshyte

Ive far better things to do than answer the dullest non betting forum doylem.

Dave.

She was showing *'signs'* of mild lameness.

Autism is a sad thing,especially for the rest of us listening to the non betting loon.
Come on Delbert,post any bet you have had on BF

The two Grade A bullshatters will naturally not do so

Two ? So Pen a fellow hammer is Grade A Also?

I’m awaiting David Jennings to show his ugly mug so can you stop posting, set up another thread to abuse me but let’s see if he can speak for himself about his lack of reporting trackside!

Trackside!

And NO mention of lameness!

Maybe he’s the lame duck being employed by the RP that you’ve been a member of from the start!?

WASFC

Are you an absolute moron,Debert?
None of the have a clue

None of the have a clue

English next time please dear fellow!

And Jennings I’m waiting for when you aren’t so irate

Dear Delbert,
FOYDC.
Thanks,David

I think you are in for a long wait. If any of them were remotely honest they could call out virtually everyone in the game, but instead they all choose to call out nobody. It's called cheerleading, and it's all they do, day in, day out. A pitiful state of affairs that will never change.

It's a job for them,DD,nothing else

Exactly uptheirons

TBar the odd one or two the horseracing journos and pundits are in the pockets of bookies. Their present and main aim is to promote betting - sometimes disingenuously - to generate revenue / profit for their paymasters ie the bookies. Each one of them would suggest / advise / tip differing selection in a race. They are no longer upright professionals, and independent.

The Derby is not what it was before because the horseracing generation and punters are on the wane. This category is dying out due to advancing age and the present business strategy of bookies eg gilding their golden egg ie fobt players, and culling horseracing punters with restriction and / closure of recreational betting accounts.

The progressive and increasing domination of The Derby by AOB / Coolmore has rendered The Derby a non-competitive event thus straggling the antepost market. The abundance of fire power and options of AOB / Coolmore charges; the multiple entries of their charges and most detrimental of all to punters is the regular and repeated last minute switcheroos of principal runners.

The competition of other sports on Saturday eg football, rugby, cricket, etc, on pay-per-view tv,  costs to racegoers and the quality of the races at the Epsom Derby are also others reasons Epsom Derby is no longer an iconic event.

Why do you repeat your boring drivel on a daily basis, you morn?

Perhaps because implausible is a moron,saxon

Diff I agree and I’m aware that there would be no response and that’s it’s also a job. A job not done well and I question why?

I wanted to make the point however as when he said punters infuriate him and then said Aiden always is honest that got me and I wanted to call it out.

Aidan O'Brien plots Derby rematch with Christmas Day to face a 'different' Benvenuto Cellini - and says Constitution River may skip Eclipse

He’s out peddling more crud today!

So now we’ll see him actually trying!



penzance • June 8, 2026 1:41 PM BST
Can anyone on here see Benvenuto Cellini over turning the form with
the Epsom 1ST 3 if they meet again,I can't myself.3/1 looks short to me.


Delashay • June 8, 2026 2:09 PM BST

It wasn’t given a hard time and we’ve been here before, last year. The horse made the market since it won at Chester.

He’d been 2/1 since then. Plenty of time to lay it.  Then the money came for the winner who was ridden to win.

Yes I can see the result changed, on different ground, but mainly tactics.

Let’s not forget that Ben wasn’t even rated the top horse in the race, yet was deemed the winner by many without even running.

Also the horse only had the one run, these stayers often prefer two races in their legs, as we see from Graffard wanting to take in Epsom then Saint Cloud before the KG.

Jennings asked me to tell you to F/O,Delbert and stick to your aftertiming

'Delashay', has he responded to you?

That's what's wrong with the racing paper. Its journos are devoid of rationale and independence. The ability to think logically and sensibly is long gone; contents to fill paper space and to please their paymasters ie the bookies are paramount regardless.

I do not think Christmas Day and Ben will do battle. Only one will and most probably Ben unless the heavens intervene big time. If Ben wins the Irish Derby Christmas Day could do The Arc given the probable prevailing ground in 1st week of Oct in France. But, Ben will not. He's too valuable as a stallion. I think he'll be retired too post 2025 / 2026 season.

Of course he hasn’t Impossible and I don’t expect him to!

I agree with what you say about the journalists and newspaper. As shown just yesterday a poster said that 3/1 looks short.
It does to turn around all those lengths! So you have to ask why?

Maltese Cross is going to the GPDParis so the race needs someone to give it some credibility. James Braddock will be there but there’s not a lot from Epsom that punters would fancy so maybe Christmas Day will show?

All fun and games!

The quote before the Derby

Trainer's view Aidan O'Brien: "Everything has gone well since Chester. He's drawn nicely there on the outside so we think it's fine. He's a big, high-cruiser and we always thought Epsom wouldn't be a problem to him."

I don’t think that they felt he’d ever like the track, then the rain came.

That’s why he’s saying there’ll be a different horse at the Curragh.

If memory serves did Charlie Appleby not withdraw a principal Derby runner on the day when the heavens opened? But, AOB ran the beast anyway on atrocious ground. Smart or plain delusional?

'It’s a pity he never really got to fulfil that early potential' - The Lion In Winter sustains fatal injury on gallops

The Lion In Winter has died after sustaining a fracture on the gallops at Ballydoyle.

Another amateurish piece of journalism here, no mention of exactly when this fatal injury was sustained by the poor horse.
The news came out in the evening after the decs had been made that morning for the Queen Anne.



https://www.racingpost.com/news/ireland/its-a-pity-he-never-really-got-to-fu...

If Jennings is similar to the rest of the current crop of Irish sports journos he'd be more interested in Palestine than actual sports writing.

Ahh righto ho a flag waver and kneecap fan probably!

It’s very sad for the horse and I hoped that we’d see more from him this year.

Had put him up in this article the other day, not that you can see that now!

He’d said that he thought that he’d done too much on the front end at Newbury.

Mickaël Barzalona explained: "The track was much too soft for him and he didn’t manage to get out of it." Then his trainer added: "I have never seen him breathe so much after a race. The ground was too difficult. I went around the track at the end of the morning, but the track has become much softer since then. I made a mistake by running it. He hated the terrain and never could keep up. I hope he’ll come back in good shape and after a outing in the Grand Prix of Saint-Cloud, we will return (to Ascot) for the King George.”


When the trainer says that it might make people wonder why the fav was run when he’d flopped on deep going at Doncaster.

I also thought the statement about The Lion in Winter was odd. No details about what happened or what the vets said. Just accept it and move on. They have taken decisions which seem puzzling to an outsider - sending Derby winners to become NH stallions and unbelievably getting rid of an Epsom Derby winner by Galileo (Serpentine). Still, what do we know.

As you say Dr we’re just meant to accept and move on.

The timing of it is really off for me, after the decs had been made for the Queen Anne.

I’m no expert on the breeding side of things but I noticed in the jumps lots of 1m 4f French stayers are used as NH sires.

They just aren’t attractive for breeding. It could be bad news for the Derby if it remains at this distance.

Despite that Constitution River is only rated a lb above Christmas Day.

Information only leaking out when forced - declarations. That's never happened before has it? Trainers either give information when forced by declarations, or asked by the media, so a lot of the time you are relying on half-wits to dig out anything. It's another useless aspect of the sport.

As for Ross Brierley amiable cheerleading presenter, but punter, no thanks. Bores you to death with stats.

It's another useless aspect of the sport.

Agree and it’s the polar opposite to the age that we’re living in. I couldn’t make a report like this myself for any amount of money.

I have no view on him other than he seems an enthusiastic presenter on the few clips that I’ve seen.

The problem with spouting stats (including sectionals which as become the 'clever' analysis) is they are out there - someone else will know so where is the edge? The only thing that can set you aside is your own intuition.

Sectionals have become the clever analysis as you say, they don’t always prove to be of use.

When I got into racing I remember Big Mac taking out his scraps of paper and giving the stats for next race. That I look at as you know but we can’t follow blind.

Agree about intuition or following one’s gut.

Even though I post quotes I try to remain neutral to what I think and what’s said. There’s nothing worse than not following what feel.

*you

Are you looking forwards to Ascot?

Any others doing so?

Yes, looking forward to it, primarily because it's better than the dirge we get served up day in day out. It's a totally different kettle of fish punting wise to Cheltenham. Getting involved ante-post is that much more difficult. The markets are not really established. There is much less information on offer. Then you have the annual lottery of the draw, and the idiot jocks to contend with, hence I only make a profit on the week about 30% of the time. Cheltenham would be far more than double that. If I don't land a big priced winner I will be in trouble, and with the big field sizes crossbars, can be really frustrating. I will do my best to avoid backing too many shorties. My only ante-post darts so far are on the Commonwealth Cup.

Cheers & your thoughts on the quality are the same as mine. The draw means I won’t be playing much ap and the jock factor as you’ve said.

The Commonwealth is a race that has me looking!

It’ll be a wonder what the ground will be? GL.

Going currently on the quick side, and expected to be drier/warmer next week, so not looking at soft ground horses.

Thanks good to know.

DD I read earlier they're watering at Ascot. Also read they're expecting rain today/tomorrow. Hopefully no false ground ahead causing chaos and massive draw bias.

Nothing would surprise me,MJK

I think whatever they do, it would be a miracle if one side is favoured for the whole week. Expect the unexpected. I wouldn't mind if they doctored to get genuine good ground. As a punter I find very quick ground much more difficult than soft ground. Plenty of horses that cope with good ground won't let themselves down on quicker. The least amount of ready made excuses there are the better.

It is the Summer,DD.
People are entitled to expect GTF Ground if Nature dictates it.
It's hardly as if they are three mile Chasers,is it

I'm most looking forward to seeing Bow Echo again. I hope he puts in another scintillating performance and blows away the opposition. This is badly needed as the winners from AOB are usually mediocre in comparison to previous Royal Ascot winners.

Ben is still in the King Edward VII at Royal Ascot next friday along with 3 other stablemates. The talk a few days ago about a different Ben showing up at The Curragh for the Irish Derby seemed to have been lost on AOB.
