The other thing which I thought about horse racing just before you wrap it up was that part of the problem for horse racing is that...

It's very insular in ways and how it views itself.

And when, you know, for Noel, you know, we see his point, but there's a dark side to the world of racing as well, which we dip our toes into every now and again in the media, which the sport and its kind of people don't like.

And it's like, well, you know, what would you know?

There's a kind of a defensive, and often there's a wall that goes up around it.

Yeah.

And...

Unlike other sports, I mean, you know, if you look at the GAA or soccer or rugby or whatever, it's not very, it doesn't do introspection very well.

And it doesn't sometimes look at itself as closely as it should.

And some of the stuff around it and the talk comedy around it tends to, can be a little bit fluffy.

So there's that side to it as well.

You know, it's be careful, be careful what you wish for.

Looks like it, doesn't it?

Yeah.

In July, they're saying he's in training.

Very much so.

I don't know about you, but the line that jumped out at me because I'd missed it was about he's not going to be ready in time for the big event at the White House.

I think it probably, you know what, it doesn't even matter what it's like here because it's only what America thinks.

And I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, he could almost pick up where he left off if he were to fight again in America with the American audience.

Yeah, but I don't know how much of that would have impacted over there.
