“Medal, Medal Medal has made it three Cups in a row!” the caller at Ewan yesterday declared. It’s a shame for the callers connections that he wasn’t right. The inside won. Never mind son, David Fowler often gets it wrong too. At least you had a crack.
The online abuse directed at jockey Tyler Leslight by other racing participants, and the threats made to him, are absolutely disgraceful and totally out of order.
