@DarranPearce@hparksss@racehorsesrace1 Some trainers only care about numbers. Mostly syndicate horses, all modest ability, running very regularly and with ultimately poor outcomes. This is what one level of the sport is but it shouldn't be like that
@DarranPearce@hparksss@racehorsesrace1 I know what you mean but...if the sport isn't run properly it hasn't a hope. Horse's being returned after non racing agreements/ horses that are clearly past their ability to compete are running regularly...they shouldn't be
@MarkLTighe Not suggesting anything untoward but I'd say there's a lot of deference given to Coolmore runners...the recent controversy with Magny Course made me wonder if the same would happen one of theirs
@JohnWathenBerry@racingoncourse I thought that once you went to weigh in you couldn't go back out to retrieve anything...once you stood on it you've effectively declared that this is it
@AtTheRaces I thought once you went to the weighroom without having all your equipment that was that...??? No going back out saying 'I might have left something in the parade ring'...try being an apprentice say at any other track on any other day and see what would happen!!!
@jamesaknight If what others say is true, he's mortgaged the business up to the hilt but ...most of the horses aren't worth that much and Sports Invest seems to have equity of about 24m. Doesn't seem to me like this can go on too much longer unless he's going to use personal money
@gcunning12 Maybe not as famous as some but My View won at Cheltenham I think. As an aside, there was once a horse who had no tongue called Strangely Quiet (it was cut out by someone at the sales I think)
@RacingPost About time ..but apparently Aidan knew nothing about it. Such bullshit...this has been the same for years but everyone is too scared to say a word about them
@John1986ire Gstaad is probably a better battler but held up a bit off a strong pace Bow Echo is better all round...race was messy and fell apart for him today...reminded me of the time Frankel nearly got beat!
