The GStick range at Ayr is about 6.3 to 8.6 so 7.0 is about right although the rain forecast will probably make it heavy all round. I've been comparing Gstick to Clerks for a long time now, it's the clerks who (to be gentle) bollocks around with the official ground verdict, afraid of NoNNers

Turftrax have published another going map taken 30 mins after the first one, it's now more in line with your times. The abbaye course is showing as GdFm.

Merlyn Edwards @allmanbros2.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
That is very weird. I was on there an 2hrs ago expecting to see no change but they had a going map dated today at 6.55 am with Gdsft Gd in places and 7.3 GStick with no rain or watering, i was confused to the least, this looks better, Good ground ARC fast ground Abbaye the rest in between.

It looks like the 8mm watering on Friday allowed them to kick the top off. Turftrax had it faster 8.2 yesterday at 7.20am but slower today 7.3 at 6.55am, although there's been no rain or water gone on. Surely it can be only be good or on the slightly faster side of good today.

The BBC's reporting of the Russian war is becoming a joke. The headline comes across as if UKR are bombing civilians in Moscow but three paragraphs in, the real targeting of civilians becomes apparent. Something has to be done about these GB news people running the BBC.

It was always going to happen. Bookies have needed an excuse, now they have 1. Only the prime locations will continue, just like the banks have done. The machines, allowed them to squeeze a few more shekels out of the shops. I'm 12 miles in all directions from a bank, the books will soon be the same

While looking for my football bet, I've come across the Sheff Wed v's Stockport game. Sheff Wed top of the league are 2/1 at home and Stockport Evens. When i see game's odds like this, I've normally missed something, so what is it?

Hamdan dying probably was the end for him. A couple of poor 2 year old crops means 4 years decline on the flat.I think Walwyn and Harwood was bit different to Tregoning, they had been there and done it over many years. PCH was a bit of a party animal apparently. It may the Barber thing with Nicholls

Tregoning tried to keep the Hern ball rolling in the race. It's one of those racing mysteries what's happened to that stable. I don't think he even has a horse in the old Hamdan silks anymore.

Back on board after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Going forward, I’m looking forward to discussing and exchanging opinions with like minded folk. I’ll be starting with this weekend’s Premier League matches although one or two racing opportunities may present themselves prior to this 🏇⚽️

Yes it was a bit sweet and sour though, as I done a win win double with Haatem, with a bigger amount on TCS, which was great until I saw the SP, I took 3/1 Haatem and 7/2 TCS, 10/1 SP Haatem felt like a loser, when I watched them this morning. Oh well I can't complain but I just have😁

Good man, it's very depressing to see it happening almost daily. It's also happening with the war in Ukraine. The war used to have it's own Header at the top of the page, now just 3 russian stories to 1 Ukrainian. I know people get weary but running rus over ukr is very trump/putin/reform like.

Merlyn Edwards @allmanbros2.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I've always been a bit sceptical of the accusations of the BBC's favouritism towards Reform, maybe i'm wrong, as it seems the beeb have had enough of the story of the Reform Corruption, as it's been lingering on for 36 hrs! and replaced it with this.

The late Sat update says Forest buying Munoz from Palace,City in for Gakpo, why don't we buy Neco Williams back, covers both full back positions,which we need badly, he was top for Forest today. Spend the rest on a DM, the Gakpo fee should cover both. Then probably Minteh as the money is there.

The decision to hold up Scoville was, I thought ridiculous. Surely Marquand was under orders, otherwise it's another poor move from him. That race yesterday was ripe for the taking, from the front, they seem to want train that exuberance out of him, maybe there's a plan? He looked very one paced.
