Graham Green brings us news that deluge wreaks havoc in the north, with bookies taking cover from torrential rain on the south coast at Folkestone yesterday, while the north of England was even harder hit with conditions in Middleham described as the worst in 23 years.


BRITAIN RAVAGED BY STORMS
"Forget the Arc of the Parisian kind, what racing folk in the north were most in need of yesterday was an Ark of the biblical variety, as torrential rain and high winds produced unprecedented scenes at Middleham, left jockeys fending for themselves at Beverley and accounted for today's Redcar fixture ....
 
 MIDDLEHAM LEFT SWAMPED, CHAOS AT BEVERLEY.
"Speaking from Beverley Deirdre Johnston, wife of trainer Mark, described the deluge back home at Middleham as "Unbelievable" she said, "In the 23 years we've been there I've never known anything like it; the water is so deep."




Lee Mottershead brings us news "Terrestrial TV blow for Arc as C4 opts against coverage
"NEXT weeks Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe will become the first in many decades not to be shown on terrestrial television after Channel 4 revealed that the focus of its negotiations with France's racing authority had already switched to the 2013 running of Europe's most prestigious Flat race. ...

CRUELTY TO HORSES, PEOPLE AND ALL LIVING CREATURES IS NEVER THE ANSWER. AND WILL NEVER EVER BE THE ANSWER.

 

CHARLIE BROOKS The great racing character on his return to training and being at the centre of a news storm, pages 8-9.
 
"With the phone- hacking investigation continuing today, the trainer tells Steve Dennis how he and his wife are bearing up under pressure.
 
"The police turned up at 4.45am on the first day of Cheltenham, 18 of them - mass murderers don't get that kind of attention -"






CHARLIE BROOKS THE GREAT RACING CHARACTER ON HIS RETURN TO
TRAINING AND BEING AT THE CENTRE OF A NEWS STORM.
pages 8-9.
 
"With the phone- hacking investigation continuing today, the trainer tells



Steve Dennis  how he and his wife are bearing up under pressure."

"The police turned up at 4.45am on the first day of Cheltenham, 18 of them - mass murderers don't get that kind of attention -"
"WELL, he asked for it. "I remember when I was 18, praying that I wouldn't have a boring life" says Charlie Brooks, his voice a little more gravelly than remembered, amusement bubbling just under the surface. Be careful what you wish for, they say. "Where to start .....
 
 
"Horses populate Brook's life, their names illuminating it like a string of shining lights on a Christmas tree ..."
 
 
"BROOK'S training career spanning a decade, his decision to turn in his license in 1998 prompted by what he calls 'aggro from owners - not all the owners, mind". His arrest, and subsequent release without charge, on a count of 'race -fixing ' appended an unwelcome coda to that part of his life, but now he's back among the training ranks although not yet among the winners.

 
"His second incarnation as a trainer is not necessarily about training winners, though, however unexpected that might sound. He has around 15 horses at a yard he shares with renowned horseman TOM LASEY deep in the Oxfordshire countryside, all of them young stock by the likes of BALLINGARRY, MILAN, NETWORK and KING'S THEATRE whose appearances in bumpers and point-to-points are intended to put them in the shop window.
"It's better for them to run well for me, be sold on the back of that and then win for an owner, rather than specifically winning for me, although of course a winner would be nice," he says, as a dozen three-and four-year-olds swarm around him like paparazzi, tugging at his sleeve, jostling him, jostling each other.

 
"What drew me back to training?  Love of horses, I suppose, that and the opportunity to work with Tom, whose brilliant. It's really good fun bringing along young horses without any pressure from owners. I'd like to be still doing this in five years time, producing good horses and selling them on ..."

BLUSHING ET DOCUMENTARY
 MONTY tells us in his BLUSHING ET documentary how after going through all he had needed to go through with the traumatized BLUSHING ET getting BLUSHING ET'S life and confidence back over his fear of the starting stalls calmed, BLUSHING ET went back into training. Some time afterwards Monty met up with one of the racecourse men he knew and asked for news of BLUSHING ET, Monty was told "Oh he was shipped off abroad
somewhere," MONTY said that when he heard that, it was like a knife going through him.
 Monty must have felt that all his work in helping BLUSHING ET to get his life and confidence back was not appreciated, not understood, a nothingness not worthy of anything in particular.... this is the true sadness, and what a shocking sadness it is.

"Trainers' need to have a hotel for their owners nowadays"

JUST HOW CRUEL IS THE PRESENT LEGAL JUSTICE SYSTEM?
 
 
JUST HOW CRUEL IS THE PRESENT POLITICAL SYSTEM?
JUST HOW CRUEL IS THE PRESENT HORSERACING GOVERNMENT?
 
JUST HOW CRUEL IS THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ?
Bubbling away just below the surface in Britain is cruelty beyond all belief.
This whole country is being governed by cruel methods used centuries ago a disgrace,
not fit for purpose,
CRUEL METHODS USED CENTURIES AGO BURDEN UPON THE PRESENT  AS CAN BE HEARD IN PARLAIMANT - LOUD- JEERING -EVIL.
