@racingoncourse We had a free ticket out of the paper but with two 4 runner races and two 5 runner races it wasn't worth the 2 hour journey

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@racingoncourse Racing Post paper used to publish gate prices but not now. Courses dont encourage walk ups, with early bird online ticket sales a clever marketing trick. Subtract the online ticket admin fee and it should be cheaper to walk up ! Gone are the days of a morning decision to go

@racingoncourse Bath tomorrow (Tues) is £25 for six races including one 4 runner race and two with 5 runners. Outrageous

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@RacingPost Oh well that's very kind of them to tell you. They are only Classic races after all !

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@racingoncourse That's a bit greedy of Newbury considering there's no Grandstand option.

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@VaughanLewis1 @the_racehour definitely worth a watch on YouTube. Refreshingly race politics free, lighthearted and informative

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@tony_calvin @dave2482 You're welcome TC. Stood out like a sore thumb to me. But then again, I've probably read too many Jack Reacher books 😀

@MartinChapman12 So Jamie Snowden wins today's Call My Bluff

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@tony_calvin @AKBets Are race sponsorship deals regulated ? If so, how on earth did a firearms manufacturer that makes assault rifles, grenades etc. get to sponsor two maiden hurdles at Chepstow last week ? Not a good look for the sport.

@Wcountryracing @Sean_Bowen_ Certainly the best NH jockey riding today. Consistently gets the best out of his mounts, which is all a punter can ask for.

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@racingoncourse Just plain wrong. They will be including a mascot race next !

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@AtTheRaces Publish the weight of horses on the racecard.

@AntepostValue Used to go all 4 days with several others. Now only go 1 day. Remainder is split between local pub who puts up a big screen and lays on food. Taking turns to have everyone round our homes (byo) and a quiet solo tv recovery day

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@kevinblake2011 @AtTheRaces People are paying serious money to see 7 races. Reducing it to 6 wouldn't wash. Personally I think we only get 5 proper races on the Wednesday as it is.

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@tony_calvin I was in the stand near the winning post. There were 2 screens. One tiny screen set right back from the track about a furlong out and another large screen at the top of the run in. The tiny one was useless from my position with the advertising. Can't speak for those opposite it

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@SimonNott @WindsorRaces @StarSports_Bet @Ascot @BenStarSports @KaanHughes A good read as usual - more punters might have had a bet if they weren't stuck in a queue for coffee or a bacon roll ! A lack of outlets rather than a large crowd

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@RacingTV @Sandownpark Wow. That sent a tingle down my spine. Fantastic time for NH fans back then

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@tony_calvin @AKBets87 @HarryStewartMo1 Best episode yet. Entertaining and informative 👏

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@tony_calvin Can't believe Cheltenham at 42%. That's dodgy imo

[Glyn Watkins @Glynovich]

@RoadCheltenham @TheJockeyClub @CheltenhamRaces Get rid of multiple entries in non hcps.
