@VeloBet_Horse @AtTheRaces @joshapiafi Needs someone vibrant - not a titular seeker.

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@mgbjones500 @AtTheRaces @joshapiafi Absolutely - considering GB racing prizemoney is on a par with Mauritius, slightly better than The Philippines & Thailand and about 1/3rd of Korea.
Everyone talking together won't fix that little problem.

@WeaverRacing @AtTheRaces @joshapiafi Can believe he is only 66 looks 86 !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@WeaverRacing @flutter61 @alexdunn_racing @NewtonAbbotRace The apparent improvement in form of WINNING PADDY, which had never been placed, was considered. A Dunn comments that the gelding appeared to benefit from the step up to 3M 1F+ over fences, having previously contested a 2M3F hurdle at Taunton was noted ...
Pretty thin enquiry !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@QuackersTich @DavidCa14313648 @WeaverRacing We think that there may have been a clinical reason for the gelding op. @NCW717 stated something sometime ago.

@LauraKingsays @John1986ire @RacingDubai It was our attempt at sarcasm -
the Derby draw was pathetic compared to what Dubai has been doing for decades. and look at Japan Cup, Melbourne Cup, Saudi Cup and many more

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@RacingTV @JohnnyMurtagh @RishiPersad1 That week was a wonder - but in reality Choisir was not the best horse in Australia at that time by a long way and most of the RA winners since have been better horses.

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@RacingPedigrees @J_Walter23 Not really - the Question becomes where is the Point of Change - 1mile, 2 miles,10F ?
the AUS whip rules actually (mathematically) permits excessive
5 before 100m (maybe 165m to 100m)
unfettered final 100m
Horse's stride 6.5m = 15 hits
so 5 + 15 = 20 which is excessive !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@LauraKingsays @John1986ire Maybe @RacingDubai will copy the Queensberry Derby Post Position Draw function format !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@RacingPost Impact of draw is immaterial
- it is simply a perfunctory part of Field composition but creates a focal point for promotion
- but 2 old men drawing black balls (2 colours) from grey bags is not a promotion - its sad.
Queensberry rules alright !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@corachsamason Both this and the @nickluck tombola theatre Barrier Draws were pathetic when compared to the slick, high quality productions seen in other parts:
@JRAVAN_info Cup, #TheEverest flashed onto the Sydney Opera House

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@LauraKingsays Poker is their because his purchase price and owner's ego - won't run in first half of a very weak Derby.
Their inclusion doesn't assist the Race Entries Rating level - although their form deems they won't effect the Race Rating (first four)

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@racingblogger It seems as if the establishment is clinging to driftwood - The Derby has its place but is very overrated as a producer of stallions (so many examples of failures)
Racing needs 'pearls' - look at vibe created @ Melb. & Japan Cup, HK Intern, Kentucky Derby, Arc, Durban July !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@QuackersTich @DavidCa14313648 @WeaverRacing Retire in AUS after failing in moderate company

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@DavidCa14313648 @WeaverRacing Serpentine was indeed a gelding but retire last year after failing in moderate company.

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@AtTheRaces @MCYeeehaaa "... and if you win one of the other F1 Grand Prixs - you're inferior winning at Silverstone"

Just that analogy also stand for media persons ?

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@RacingTV @Betfred That is the most uninspiring Barrier Draw ever - "Horse" & "Ball" colours are the same !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@haruka_no_yume and not a softball pitch underarm ! although she does practice a lot !

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@tmase04 If precedents for race day administration of a prohibited substance (or attempted), apply then it ought to be a disqualification of 3 months.

[@STEWARDING101 @Stewarding101]

@AtTheRaces at least one of the pacemakers drew well !
