Am I the only one frustrated that Cheltenham races have no permanent identity these days? What the hell is the Turners, or the Brown Advisory? Give them permanent names and let ephemeral sponsors be satisfied with having their brand incorporated in the full name.

Came away from Cheltenham wondering how their obvious targeting of the 18-30 demographic will work out. Can't use cash anywhere on track (xcept bookies), no coverage of away meetings anywhere except betting shops, loud "mood" music constantly- racing afficianados not catered for.

Coursing season trashed by Fianna Fáil in some kind of horse trading with the greens. Not one iota of risk in it, outdoors. Hope they enjoy canvassing in the likes of Kerry, Tipp and other rural areas next time. Hundreds of specially bred animals now with no chance to compete.

NPHET need to be called out on this antigen test nonsense and on “variants”. We need to see robust evidence that variants are consequential to morbidity and mortality, not just spread. Continuing restrictions based on PCR “cases” will keep us restricted for years.

The powers that be won't see it this way, but as a race fan and punter Punchestown is no longer fit for purpose. Too many graded race options resulting in small field uncompetitive racing which is a turn off for everyone except connections. Like Cheltenham 3 days was perfect.

Every single doomsday prediction this flute has made has been out by an order of magnitude, yet he’s still the first on the RTE team sheet.
On our current trajectory we are heading for 5000 cases each day in Dublin by end of October. Sadly, 0.5 to 1% of those may die of it: 25 to 50 people daily, based on our past experiences, and many others will get sick. So change is needed again in my view.
