JMC: Where is the governments "British Path of Peace" initiative? This government perspective should always be running upsides "British War Death and Destruction' initiative.  How can these Tory government male's swan off for a months holiday knowing that they have turned their backs on a human tragedy that is causing such fear and such horrific deaths every single day. Who needs a Tory party such as this one? No one. Kick the lot of them out for good.

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT 

Racing Post Thursday August 27, 2015: Page 9.
Steve Dennis brings news:
"Desire for Lowther upgrade strikes a sour note."

"BARELY has the dust settled from another  absorbing 'festival' meeting than, as usual, the racecourse executive sets out ways in which the next rendition can be even bigger and better. Progress is an unceasing progress. "JMC: The frightening fact being it is 'bloodhorse illiterate' progress ... 'Bloodhorse illiterate' progress is not progress at all. The reason why Epsom Past, Present, Future is found to be in such dire straights now. A massive burden on all the ' true bloodhorse literate horsemen and horsewomen attempting to train racehorses on Epsom Downs now, an horrific nightmare would just about sum  it up. What right has any British government got to sacrifice British horseracing through their own cruel bloodhorse illiterate power abuse? Allowing such as this to be going on, in the first place?

FRIDAY: AUGUST 28 STEVE DENNIS
Part 3 or 3
“An ace set of gallops with a nice racecourse attached. "

“Steve Dennis spends a work morning alongside the Epsom training fraternity. You’d be amazed by what’s on the other side of the fence.

Steve Dennis recalls the greatest amateur race ever to be run, the 1974 Moet & Chandon Silver Magnum, more commonly known as the amateurs’ Derby.

“IT READS a little like one of those fiendish quiz questions with which John Randall tests Racing Post readers each Christmas. What race involved a duel Champion Hurdle winner, the best racing journalist ever to file copy, the trainer of the best Flat horse of  all time, a Spanish nobleman with a tendency for breakages, two duel Derby-winning trainers and the first man to ride 1,000 winners over jumps, among several other racing celebrities.


“The answer is the 1974 Moet & Chandon Silver Magnum at Epsom, the accompanying racecard showing the glittering cast-list in full. Sea Pigeon, John Oaksey, Henry Cecil, the Duke of Albuquerque, Luca Cumani, John Dunlop and Stan Mellor are the answers to the above questions, with Nicky Henderson, Bruce Hobbs, Denys Smith, Jim Wilson, Gordon Richards and Clive Brittain all in the mix in a quite remarkable renewal of what was known as the Amateurs’ Derby, run over the Classic course and distance as the centrepiece of the August bank holiday meeting at Epsom.


“An amateur race is still to be found on the card but these days it pales in comparison with its former self, just another 0-85 handicap without the panache or prestige-or, considering the sponsor, the fizz-of its previous incarnation. As the City and Suburban and the Great Metropolitan Epsom’s historic handicaps that have lost much of their luster, so it goes for the Silver Magnum, its golden age in the past. Not forgotten, though. Far from it. That race marked my last ride, and I went out on a winner," says Phillip Mitchell, four-time winner,
 of the Silver Magnum and partner of the Robert Armstrong-trained  Laurentian Hills, half length winner on that rose –tinted afternoon 41 years ago.



“I won the Moet in 1967 on Patron Saint, then the following year on Inishmaan. A few years later there was New Member – he was probably the biggest certainty I ever sat on, the hardest thing about that race was pulling him up after he’d crossed the line – and then I rode Laurentian Hills to beat Sea Pigeon."
