@RacingTV@BHAHorseracing@LuckOnSunday@WorldPool Defending the indefensible whilst not realising literally everyone bar overseas heaving betting favourite backers are disillusioned. This rule will ruin the game here if not changed as bettors mindsets globally are variable and ours does not conform to this rule application
@geoffbanksbet And the bookies that applied rule 4….well the punters who punted Christmas Day have been shafted.
The only winners here are favourite backers, big bettors overseas via World Pool , likely guided HKJC do not want to piss off their base.
@geoffbanksbet My aim every day is to beat the book. Yesterday was beyond farcical. Beyond parody. If this is the future of racing where a horse can determine its own non-runner status then I’d rather not bet. The bookies have been stuffed royally here. Change needed. World Pool rules rule now.
@BarstewardsThe@Laurapearson_ She was a VERY good conditional and I hope trainers give her some decent rides going forwards. Her ride yesterday made her peers look bang average and her interview was personal and inspiring. As you say, a good news moment on a day worth forgetting otherwise.
@JonasLeng I’ve played golf with Rishi. He’s a top bloke and totally down to earth. Agree re Mellish and Dave The Hair too…both decent and clearly know the game too. Most others are somewhere between meh & TV off button.
@PuntingWinners The whole day was farcical. The weather, the jockeys being undecided of where to race, the crowds fucking off after race 2, the horses being strung out like a washing line as if it’s a bumper. Gimme France Galop every time….
@The_Anteposter Currently 20 degrees, sun and some wind with cloud cover. Sharp decrease from two previous days (since I was here) when it was 34 & 35 degrees respectively. Even as late as 11pm last night it was still 28 degrees. Yes, much watering but I think Good/G to F in places later on
@thebedfordfox Out of interest, has @RacingPost even bothered to reply to your concerns? Considering your job I would have thought they’d show some mild form of concern…..
And yes, everything you point out about this new web format is true….its beyond awful.
@BensBetsOnX I’m sorry mate but WTF are you talking about? Even if I had money on (which I did not) I would shrug it off and move on.
Assume you’re simply after clicks and views…..
@The_Anteposter And I’m here in Chantilly and they were furiously watering the ground yesterday evening. Around the rail edges it’s extremely hard so it’ll be interesting to see how it shapes up tomorrow
@KemiBadenoch@Conservatives So why did this, and all the other great populist ideas you trot out on what seems a daily basis, were never applied in to law between 2010 -> 2024?
If you are to use any more political oxygen this year, just answer that one single question…..
@ItsRossBrierley Maybe something to do with the obsession to water the turf by most clerks? What is exactly wrong with Firm/Hard ground? We never had a problem in the past and less horses got injured. But nowadays it seems to be an obsession
@AndyBurnhamGM@LeeAndersonMP_ In plain English @LeeAndersonMP_ , why did you need to specify that? Is it because you speak utter fuckwittery and bollocks - being the charlatan grifter that you clearly are?
@thebedfordfox@RacingPost Believe it. It’s dogshit. It’s disgraceful. And it’s bordering fraudulent that they take your money and deliver an absolute piss poor service, with terrible data, terrible tipsters and terrible journalism
