@tony_calvin Hills? If yes, 3 places is wrong. As per the TCs it’s 4 places if 12+ run.

No idea why they are showing 3 places, not great.

@dermonolan91 James Bowen please report to the stewards.

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

The 2025 flat season. 😬

[Matthew Mantle @MatthewMantle3]

Fingers crossed we get Qirat v Cicero's Gift in the Breeders Cup to settle it once and for all.

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@HDAusRacing Can Rachel King ride at 48kg? Can she get that low?

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

When you Leovanni Antepost and she’s pulled on the day due to the ‘ground’ even though she won on Good to Firm at the meeting last year.

Finished 1.5L behind the winner as a 2yo but was 3lb better off today.

Sums up the week! It’s great being a punter. 🫤

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@nfluk_tickets They 'could' be the prices, but wow.

Just looked at 'Premium' tickets and they are being sold in Block 239 now. Last year I had these in 311. But 311 looks like it's now Cat 2, so £50 cheaper for same seat but no food.

But £178 for Cat 7 and £144 for Cat 8, wow.

@tony_calvin @AKBets Is a fairer (more punter friendly) method of calculating r4's needed across the industry? ie, r4 is applied to the price of the selection being removed from the market at time of bet placement? NR was 16/1 when bet placed (no r4), 12/1 when made NR (5p r4).

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@tony_calvin @AKBets Are Skybet cutting prices before setting NRs? 120 Aintree (Sat), 20p r4 at 365, 60p r4 at Sky. Obviously Sky are shorter per runner as extra places on offer, but a 40p difference across 5 runners selections being declared NRs?

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@DanBarberTF Not sure how over 42pts has managed to land here. Crazy 4th quarter.

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@MikeParcej @McConnellRacing @CobdenHarry Evening Mike. Any idea when we will see Flying Fortune back on the track? I saw she was enter at Cheltenham during the November meeting, but not declared. She's in my 12TF and I'm getting nervous about her not being out anytime soon, given the wet months ahead!

Some quality racing in Oz this morning.

Duke De Sessa wins the Caulfield Cup in nice fashion going early and seeing it out well.

Bella Nipotina takes the Everest.

However, seeing Think About It walk back in was the biggest and best winner of the day.

[News Racing @superracing]

Last year’s The Everest winner Think About It walks back to the stalls after falling in the Sydney Stakes. Great news that he’s up on his feet and appears to be moving okay.

@jamesaknight @kevinblake2011 @AtTheRaces The question should be, is the whip rule right? And if the answer is yes, the 2nd question is then, are the penalties for breaking this rule enough of a deterrent to stop jockeys from breaking it? And how do the BHA ensure that an unplaced horse/jockey didn’t break the limit?

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@jamesaknight @kevinblake2011 @AtTheRaces We’ve spoke about this many times over the years (Total Recall in the then Hennessy and one more that I can’t remember) and I agree result for Betting purposes can’t be changed post weighed in. Would kill the game, punting wise. And Whisper getting done cost me a fair wedge!

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

Streets of Doyen doing Streets of Doyen things! Some race though and a cracking finish. #velka

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@Coo84_ff Wow. But yeah. Time for a change.

But did Woody fire him for being shit or wear the Lebanese flag?!

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@NYJetsinUKandIE The reality: We can’t win when we install poor schemes with inadequate play calling.

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@nyjets What was there to recap? The terrible play calling? Did anyone check the weather report before the game plan was put in place? The fact that we forget that a rookie QB was standing back there and thought not blitzing was a great idea? Fire the lot of them. #13yearsofsuffering

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@Coo84_ff Agreed. Gets 9 yards on 1st down. 2nd & 1, just run it again. But no, we try some quick out in the cold rain and 30 secs later it’s 3rd and 8. I’m losing the will to live.

With this OLine establish the run to set up the pass. And pressure rookie QBs. It’s not rocket science.

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@jamesaknight Not to blow my own trumpet, but looks like common sense has prevailed.

When you're wrong 90% of the time, the 10% is golden.

[Rob Turner @Rob_Turner27]

@jamesaknight 1. NH Chase
2. Mares Chase
3. Mares Nov Hurdle
4. Mares Hurdle
5. Bumper
6. X Country Chase - Keep if becomes H'cap
7. Gallagher's Nov Hurdle

Turners Nov Chase - change to Nov H'cap Chase

If X County Chase becomes Handicap and is kept, then bin off the Boodles Juv Hurdle
