Gigginstwon have removed 60 horses from Willie Mullins after a disagreement about fees.
Willie Mullins had the cheek to raise his fees for the first time in 10 years and Michael O'Leary wasn't prepared to pay them. That's fair enough - the good news is that we can now expect no increase in Ryan Air prices for at least the next decade.
On refunds: "You're not getting a refund so **** off."
On overweight passengers: "Nobody wants to sit beside a really fat ****** on board. We have been frankly astonished at the number of customers who don't only want to tax fat people but torture them."
On turbulence: "If drink sales are falling off we get the pilots to engineer a bit of turbulence. That usually spikes up the drink sales."
On travel agents: "Screw the travel agents. Take the ******* out and shoot them. They are a waste of bloody time. What have they done for passengers over the years?"
On charging passengers to use the loo: "One thing we have looked at is maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny in the future. If someone wanted to pay £5 to go to the toilet I would carry them myself. I would wipe their bums for a fiver."
On low fares: "I don't see why in 10 years' time you wouldn't fly people for free. Why don't airports pay us for delivering the passengers to their shops?"
If you can't find a low fare on Ryanair: "You're a moron."
On customer service: "People say the customer is always right, but you know what - they're not. Sometimes they are wrong and they need to be told so."
On closing Ryanair's check-in desks: "This isn't the end of civilization as we know it."
On apologies: "Are we going to say sorry for our lack of customer service? Absolutely not."
On refunds: "We don't want to hear your sob stories. What part of 'no refund' don't you understand?"
On how to keep employees motivated and happy: "Fear."
On environmentalists: “We want to annoy the ******* whenever we can. The best thing you can do with environmentalists is shoot them. These headbangers want to make air travel the preserve of the rich. They are luddites marching us back to the 18th century. If preserving the environment means stopping poor people flying so the rich can fly, then screw it.”
willie mullins is one of the best jump trainer in the world problem is he has too many and unless its a rr horse dont think it gets the same treatment, thinking jonjo o neill could have a good season dont remember anything of note from him last season?.
On another note anyone with a tracker put Fields of Fortune into it, ran in the 7:05 sandown completely missed the break ran green and when it finally clicked cut through the field from 2/3 furlongs out and 10-15 lengths behind to finish second. Looked very impressive and will take some beating next run
Apparently was disappointing on 2nd run hence 20/1 odds today at Nottingham 3:00. Overpriced for a small e/w?
Conjecture that ITV might try to withdraw from the new deal to televise major race meetings from the new year .. the government's proposed ban/more control on early day bookmaker advertising (and not before time) could mean a major loss of advertising revenue .. could be the end of TV racing coverage except on the PayTV channels
For obvious reasons Stevie Brown in the Salisbury 1.50 has to be backed not just for the horse's name but it's also owned by Messrs Brown, Bolland, Goforth and Watson. If that's not an omen I really don't know what is!
Florencio returns tonight to Chelmsford where his last visit to the track resulted in him breaking the juvenile track record, only this year his attitude stinks and really is amiss at the minute, Muirs yard has been poor recently but that was due to a yard virus that Flo caught, his been free from this a while now so hopefully a return to AW which he is 2/2 can spark him back into action. We've opted for George Wood to ride him claiming 5lb, although he is an apprentice his strike rate at the track is 30%+ so he knows how to ride it, fingers crossed our lad turns up and runs to the ability we know he has.
"Info" can be an issue with some syndicate owned horses:
Owner to head of syndicate - "think we might have an outside each way chance today". By the time it reaches the final member of the syndicate and his friends it becomes a cert!
No ones fault but every owner desperately hopes he's going to have a winner. It's the hope, excitement and complete anti climax that kills you!
Huge Gamble overnight on Tim vaughns, 5 horses at uttoxer, bookies are already on to it though as sky bet would only allow me to place a 1.10 5 fold and a 7p lucky 31 dirty fuckers quite happy to take a bag on a footie result. Might not be any good horses but just thought would give a heads up.

Ascot on Saturday actually looks like it'll live up to the name Champions day for a change, compared to last few names. Some quality races, and good to see the top horses out for it!
