My video ranking the 65 British and Irish horse racing courses I have visited. My rankings are based on the quality of my visit to the racecourse, any local pubs and other things in the local area. https://t.co/MSoKI9WQeZ

@jfagej @oldjaggysnake @englandcricket I'm clearly responding to "Why is a 35 year old married man with kids in a nightclub at any time,"

@oldjaggysnake @englandcricket Leaving aside the argument about it being Ben Stokes why shouldn't someone go out an a night?

@RacingPost Starting on three legs was due to his behaviour, the same as if he'd reared in the stalls.

[Horse racing racecards, history and course visits @arkle1964]

@BHAHorseracing Surely this was his own behaviour, the same as rearing in the stalls.

The Bill Carrigill Memorial Handicap is named after a former local bookmaker who died in 2022. This article was written about his dad George's death in 2017. https://t.co/icsbhh7vDZ

@spurs_wombat @JoshSB91 @PeckWillar34991 @paddypower Many bookmakers are ignoring the rule 4.

[Horse racing racecards, history and course visits @arkle1964]

@PeckWillar34991 @JoshSB91 @paddypower The controversy is whether it should have been declared a NR. Most people like myself think the decision was ridiculous. Many bookmakers are ignoring the rule 4 for this race.

I’m in a cafe in Leatherhead

Overhear dad and daughter talking animatedly about their Christmas Day winnings from the Derby at Epsom 🧑‍🎄

Both bamboozled that they got 25% less than expected 🤷🏻‍♂️

Never expected racing’s Rule 4 deduction to feature in #FlatWhiteSeries ☕️

We didnt know 15 years ago how good things were Racing Wise, We just had 3 years of Sea The Stars/Harbinger/Frankel, Stick readings were still high, Jockeys didnt have to count strokes, You got paid without providing a life story and no VAR to see if a Horse had started properly

@racingoncourse @BHAStewards Would it not be easier to say that anything that compromises a horse's chance after it enters the stalls due to the actions of that horse cannot result in the horse being declared a non runner. The risk is priced in then.

[SD Racing Services @racingoncourse]

Hi @BHAStewards
Can you answer the below? Thanks

Is the rule being applied consistently in the absence of camera footage? If so, how?
How many cases have there been where the start was reviewed and no action was taken due to lack of evidence?
What is the evidential threshold to deem a horse a non-runner?
A race at Redcar might have the same thing happen, assuming lesser evidence, how does a two tier approach increase betting integrity?
Does the BHA accept that the implications for on-course bookmakers, something not prevalent in international jurisdictions, will suffer in terms of turnover for betting on next race and disgruntled punters?
To what extent has the BHA faced external pressure from international jurisdictions for this rule?
Why was so much credence given to Ryan Moore’s intended tactics, how could this be proven?
Would the BHA recommend I bet horses who have trouble in the stalls in the future?
How long will the weigh in take at Royal Ascot?
Does the BHA have any intention to raise awareness of sleepers on withdrawn horses, given they are now likely to be more prevalent?
How could BC be deemed a runner had he finished in the first 4, but not otherwise?
Don’t you see what a cock up yesterday was?

[Horse racing racecards, history and course visits @arkle1964]

@HonestFrank Hopefully gone given his awful handling of yesterday's ridiculous decision.

[Horse racing racecards, history and course visits @arkle1964]

@RacingTV @BHAHorseracing @LuckOnSunday @WorldPool The rule is fine. The implementation of it yesterday was not.

[David Johnson @davidjohnsonTF]

It's a bloody good point!!
