Just here for horse racing, mainly Flat but a bit of National Hunt too !

[The Barstewards Enquiry @BarstewardsThe]

We are very fortunate to have obtained three copies of @paraderingedge books on paddock watching. Now listeners of our podcast will be aware that we are very fond of Geoffrey Hutson's book 'Watching Racehorses' as at the time it was the only book on paddock watching that applied the angles to data (i.e the misnomer on sweating)

Well thanks to the author Stephen Lang (who by the way goes racing with Geoffrey) has also produced a data related book on paddock analysis and those three copies could be yours. Simply like, retweet and follow us and @paraderingedge and you can win one of those three copies. Good Luck, will keep reposting this and the winners will be announced on the first day of #royalascot

@RichyShea Implication from this segment is Sober Glory, he should be the one to stay over timber ‘foam padded’ at that! Buveur D’Air initially went over fences after placing in a strong supreme, any of these could always revert back.

@Race_iQ Hopefully @PJHobbs1 might review his last sentence in light of this data !

@DarylCarter7 @cheltenhamchap Don’t forget he picked up a leg injury during that Aintree race last year. He had a screw inserted into his leg to repair.

@LZ_Racing180 @RacingPost As a more regular reader I can confirm it’s same as usual, part 1 this week part 2 next. No disputing the lofty price tag however, raised from £6.50 last month- they usually wait until the festival before their annual increase! Best of luck with bets etc 👍

@BarstewardsThe The half or full pack of Fish Fingers policy I found amusing, not mention good practical advice, well done with that one 👍

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@BarstewardsThe @invictalit @JonasLeng @CathrynFry Blimey dog walks are going to be an awful lot shorter ! Best racing podcast by a country mile, great knowledge, great laughs, thanks for keeping us entertained. Best of luck to you all, keep remounting 👍

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@JonasLeng Yes… his mother would definitely have played it better with a stick of rhubarb !

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@SimonNott Personal interpretation always but the devil is often in the detail, look for key race analysis comments and try to find anything that separates an individual horse from the rest.

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@JonasLeng @BarstewardsThe Is Rashabar the worst campaigned horse of the season… surely last year’s Coventry winner should have contested the BC Mile not the 12f Turf?

@PuntingWinners Was there yesterday, walked right past afterwards, noted he was blowing hard. Good luck 👍

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@RowleyfileRRR Was on course today, barely left parade ring, I noted wind had dropped appreciably before the Nursery 👍

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@RowleyfileRRR Thanks for clarifying 👍

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@RowleyfileRRR Fran Cumani reported the wind was behind and generally from a south easterly direction according to my Met Office app, again more tail from what I can glean from racecourse maps ?

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@maxcouch My assumption would be he has probably been working lazily so they’ve reached for the pieces and hoped for the best, watching how well the 3yos performed at York is a good gauge to why none turned up at Ascot today.

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@maxcouch Your last / original point I’d tend to disagree with, headgear and the drift good indicators all was not well with Jan hence the gamesmanship.

[Jonathan Clayton @JCHQ2020]

@maxcouch I don’t disagree, my comment was in relation to the purposeful tactics employed by team Coolmore. MB was alive to those tactics Buick wasn’t, cost him some momentum probably not the race.
