X sucks. It is where the self serving and the woke that want to censor expression gather. There is very little pleasure from this platform any more.

Can anyone tell me who Fav Saba is please? This individual apparently does not exist online or any records I can see on Racing Post. They have just bought Constant Star, I am deeply concerned. Does @tattersalls1766 undertake due diligence on welfare records? @BHAHorseracing

Protect the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
One of the world’s most prestigious races, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe has a unique place in the international racing and breeding industry.
A petition has been launched opposing proposals to open the race to geldings, seeking to preserve its tradition, prestige and importance to the future of thoroughbred breeding.
We encourage everyone involved in the racing and breeding industry to make their voice heard and sign the petition.

Tomorrow we will see Copper Knight retire, with his final start being with us, on the Knavesmire.
Copper holds the record of Winningmost horse, having won 7 times on the Knavesmire 🏆
Thank you Copper, see you tomorrow ❤️
There have to be question marks about the Longchamp ground now. Just because it is the Arc meeting doesn't mean you take unnecessary risks. That is two bad incidents in the last 4 (?) races there.
Nostrum, winner of the Tattersalls Stakes and third in the Dewhurst, is set to contest a seller tomorrow. Quite appalling. Lack of loyalty towards horses and people is one of racing's worst vices.
Well done @LuckOnSunday for getting the anti-gambling man presented to us all. I'm not a great fan of gambling but understand its intrinsic relationship to racing. We do need revenue diversity but this guy is naiive. Half the story does not constitute grounds for policy change.

Frustrating trip to @BathRacecourse yesterday for #CloudyRose’s final race before retirement. She was well placed & travelling well under Liam Wright 2/3 of the way through the race when it was needlessly stopped & declared void. Hard to swallow this fiasco, but life goes on.

@BBCSport seriously what is wrong with you?? Saffie Osborne smashed the glass ceiling today, becoming the first female jockey to win an English classic, the St ledger stakes @DoncasterRaces & it didn’t even get a mention on @BBCNews Shame on you.
Good grief, watching the rugby and that has to be the worst rendition I've ever heard of the Star Spangled Banner.
Now he has sired a Classic winner, will @osbornejamie possibly put up his fees? 🤣

Just want to call out @NatWestGroup who collect people's phone numbers and store them and communicate on them without customer permission. NatWest essentially doern't comply with UK GDPR law. A financial institution lacking basic integrity.
Move the Mares' Hurdle tro November or December where the racing quality has dropped. Lossiemouth really should be a dual Champion now, bidding for the historic hat-trick next year. Give mares the best of both worlds and a Championship race before the breeding season starts.
In 1993, Paul Cook was awarded £352,000 in compensation for the 1989 Portland Handicap incident that ended his career as a jockey at Doncaster. Madraco put his foot in a hole left by unsatisfactorily completed drainage work, with riders effectively playing "Russian roulette" ...
Low lying sun or white hurdle markings are imperatives but near darkness & insufficiently investigated huge holes in the ground are OK? BHA & Jockey Club brought racing into disrepute today. Liable for any injuries to horses or jockeys. GOT LUCKY. Bad look for racing. @RacingPost
“We need to do some more exploratory work to understand what caused it.” IN WHICH CASE, IF ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS TO HORSES OR RIDERS, YOU ARE LIABLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE RACED. Horse comes first?

@ofgem is encouraging UK energy companies to ask customers if they are disabled or vulnerable. This includes @EDFOfficiel which does not explain its reasons. What next: racial profiling?
