The Shadow
DEEP JOY PACO BOY15 May 09 - IT IS time to start considering the two biggest races of the flat season, the Derby and the Oaks. ..
THE HAWK WILL SWOOP11 May 09 - THIS WEEK I want to talk to you about four races. Those four races are two in which our Racing Club filly Southwark Newsflash ran - one at Yarmouth and one at Wolverhampton and one which our new two year old filly Southwark Newshawk ran at Yarmouth last Thursday and one which she probably will run at Wolverhampton next Monday. ..
HERE WE GO AGAIN06 May 09 - I HAVE a lot to say to you this week so I will get the upcoming Newmarket Classics out of the way first...
WINK GETS THE NOD29 Apr 09 - IT IS time to start looking ahead to the Classics. The weekend after next we have the two Guineas races at Newmarket and The Derby and The Oaks follow shortly after in the first week of June. ..
THE HAWK IS HOVERING20 Apr 09 - FIRST OFF I must set at rest the minds of the members of the Southwark News Racing Club that our baby filly born to Newsflash on 2nd April is doing well and the crisis which required her to have plasma transfusions seems to have passed. ..
PREMO LOCO TO STEAM IN27 Mar 09 - I NEVER fail to get excited about the start of the Flat. Years and years and years ago before most of you were born and before the mothers and fathers of a lot of you were born, the start of the Flat was a big event for the working people of this land, third only to Derby Day and Grand National Day. ..
PREMIO LOCO TO STEAM IN20 Mar 09 - YOU COULD look through all the pages I have ever written for the ‘News’ and you will always find that I am at my happiest at this time of year.I love the start of the flat racing season.

MON MOME TO SEE THEM HOME16 Mar 09 - THE BOSSES of the ‘News’ have always been very good to The Shadow. I sit down every week and write about this and that, mostly connected with the Sport of Kings - thoroughbred hoss racing - but not always...
NUMIDE HAS THE SPEED09 Mar 09 - TWO WEEKS ago I wrote about two hosses and an ass. The ass in that combination was more than an ass but this is a family newspaper so I had to use a milder expression to describe a racehorse owner who had spied on his ex lover and subsequently raped her...
CLOUDY LANE TO SHINE27 Feb 09 - WHEN PEOPLE meet me for the first time and discover who I am, the most often asked question is who is the big time hoss owner and world class tight arse you have written about so much in the past? ..
THANKS BIG FELLA20 Feb 09 - DO YOU think that is the end of the Cold Snap? I sincerely hope so. It seems to have been around longer than Arsene Wenger and I for one am fed up with it...
TWO HOSSES AND AN ASS12 Feb 09 - I SUPPOSE the nasty weather and the doom and gloom pouring out of the telly and the radio makes everybody a bit judgemental and being a miseryarse goes with my time of life...
MASTER BETTER AND FASTER
06 Feb 09 - AS I sit here and write to you I look out from the window of my study across the windswept Newmarket countryside and the snow is a great swirling blanket of white smothering the landscape and everything in it...

EXOTIC TO DANCE IT
22 Jan 09 - I AM SURE you will all have read about the poor unfortunate jockey who fell off his hoss in the run up to the lollipop and cost a couple of punters nearly half a million quid...

SNAP TIE LOOKS NAILED ON
19 Jan 09 - ONE OF the most interesting features of the weekend racing is the return of a hoss which has won us loads of money in the past and will hopefully do the same in the future...

TAKEOVER BID TO SUCCEED
08 Jan 09 - ANYBODY WHO takes hoss racing seriously has a pet hate. I know I hate 'em and everybody in the racing game hates 'em - trainers, owners, jockeys, stable staff, bookies, serious gamblers.....

2009 - A YEAR OF PROMISE
02 Jan 09 - AT THIS time of year we all look back on the year which is ending and forward to the one which waits just around the corner. As I do this I have a very strong premonition that for us punters at the News it will be the Tale of Two Easters. I will explain...
