My favourite #jackcharlton story is when he walked the perimeter of the pitch pre match at the Giants Stadium in ‘94 with Tony Cascarino where they were greeted by a sea of green. He turned to Tony and said “fuck me Tony man, you’re the only Italian here”

We’ve called it a day with Azzuri, he just doesn’t enjoy the track anymore. This day when he broke the track record at Ayr was amazing, Scot National day, 8->5/2 and won after a fence. Loves life off the track so will find the old boy a good home now. Thanks to all the squirrels.

Unfortunately the injury Chitty sustained is worse than we feared. We don't know if it's career ending yet but it may well be. He's been a superstar for us, fulfilling a dream we never thought we'd fulfill and he won't be running again unless we're 100% happy he's not at risk.
