Little thread on the horrendous events of 10 years tonight in Santiago de Compostela. Scores were killed and was what due to be a joyous night of celebration was hastily cancelled as the scale of the tragedy emerged….
Ten years ago this evening a train carrying 218 passengers from Madrid to Ferrol in Galicia, north west Spain, derailed outside the city of Santiago de Compostela leaving 79 dead and more than 130 injured. It was one of the worst rail disasters in Spain's history.

This is quite the reaction from a bookmaker whom I first noticed BECAUSE of their links with Plumpton…

This could be “Lord Mustard”, well-known tap-dancing street entertainer of the era.

The FRANKEL foal out of Fallen For You was due to be sold on Friday. She has now been withdrawn. Owners have kept her and few days ago named her FRANKLY MY DEAR. FRANKLY MY DEAR is a sibling to IT HAD TO BE YOU, LOVE IS YOU, WRITTEN FOR YOU, QUEEN FOR YOU, GLORIOUS JOURNEY
The filly foal by FRANKEL out of Gr1 winner FALLEN FOR YOU has been catalogued at the Dec Foal Sale. I still recall her full brother IT HAD TO BE YOU. Had a relatively short career. Was with W Haggas. Other siblings: LOVE IS YOU WRITTEN FOR YOU QUEEN FOR YOU GLORIOUS JOURNEY

This is the funniest tweet I've seen in ages, and I live here.
I won’t be using this power. There will be no tourist tax in Teesside, Darlington and Hartlepool for as long as I'm Mayor. Thanks, but no thanks.

Racing makes the sports news on Radio 5. Of course it’s about Dylan Kitts’s ban and the Hillsin case.

William Hill account holders should do this immediately. Withdraw your funds. William Hill can, and does, close accounts without notice, and for no reason, and then make it as difficult as possible for account holders to retrieve any money they have in their accounts. You can't

https://t.co/YmrYxZvUDj Well, it’s official: the Racing League is dead. Not with a bang, nor with a going-out-of-business sale on branded gilets, but with a murmured “thanks and goodbye” from ARC. @OwnersforOwners @itvracing @AtTheRaces #HorseRacing

This needs to be shared widely. Many of us know & love Brad (Graham Bradley) but he is very sadly in a bad way, with early onset dementia. Please help if you can, even a share helps. Media friends, can you help?

In the good old days of horse racing journalism, when every major newspaper had a Turf writer, no one was faster with a quip or a race recap than Ed Schuyler, horse racing and boxing scribe for the Associated Press. Glad to see him doing well at 90.

That is the question…
Can Jonbon be classed as a racing great? 💚💛 @LiamHeaddRP has his say: "Anyone who doesn't consider Jonbon an all-time great needs to question themselves on whether or not they know racing. You only have to look at his record and see what he has achieved for Nicky Henderson"

If fucking Heineken had anything to do with it I’d run a mile…
If Heineken did 'a Saturday racing' then this would be right up there! Jacovec Cavern wins @gowranpark and then head to @CorkDogs with two runners Boylesports Blue and Lennies Tank - both win! Great weekend 🙌 👌
