Racing make no sense anymore. Thoughts my own.

@AKBets rejecting a bet after sending it to trader, then cutting from 3-1 to 7-4, classic - same as all the rest.

@jreece76 @jimmaxcricket Not a winner???? Are you lobotomised?

[P @mixedbagoftips]

Your fault he is retiring- gutter journalism from you turncoats over Lords

@nellbergcricket Needed the narrative for the comebacks certainly. Think he looked at the dressing room and didn’t see the fight he wanted tbh.

[P @mixedbagoftips]

So many good moments, so so rare to see a player for England be that good at winning and getting games over the line.

Hopefully not the end, get rid of Bob key and Baz and get the love back.

Thank you anyway Stokes

[P @mixedbagoftips]

Very sad to see Stokes go, unbelievable player at just making things happen. Headingley/Lords 2019 some of the most astonishing games I have watched.

But also what has got lost for me in this is his fight to get back from some horrible series and losses. Proper winner (1)

[P @mixedbagoftips]

I also think worth remembering the moments/times he put the team on his back.

Cape Town 2020 with that spell to win on Day 5. The run out vs India in Hyderabad + late 1st inns runs. The run out last summer at Lords + evening spell. The late runs at Headingley 23. (2)

[P @mixedbagoftips]

@nellbergcricket Agree with this - also the biggest pure winner we have had play for England in a long time in any sport

[Jack Russell MBE @jackrussellart]

Ben Stokes OBE. Extraordinary cricketer. A once in a generational talent. Has helped to give us some some of the greatest moments in sporting history. True Great. Thank you #TheAshes #WorldCup #Cricket

God ur such a smug bastard

[Barney Ronay @barneyronay]

England cricket. This is … pretty 🤮. Nauseating self indulgence that feels telling. That’s why it’s ending…

[P @mixedbagoftips]

@NHoultCricket Your fault he’s retiring - scum journalism reporting on the night after Lords

[P @mixedbagoftips]

Callum Rodriguez dear dear me

@brucemillington @KirstieMAllsopp Tax is theft

[P @mixedbagoftips]

Agree - geldings are bad for the sport

[Racing Post @RacingPost]

🗣️ "It's so much easier to train a gelding, they will have an unfair advantage in the race"

Aidan O'Brien has voiced his concerns about the decision to allow geldings to run in the l'Arc de Triomphe from next year 🇫🇷

Guys this is what @compoundpapi looks like btw

[P @mixedbagoftips]

@Richard_Mann11 He held Touleen fairly there I thought, didn’t come off a true line

[P @mixedbagoftips]

Imagine writing a whole thread on how overnight prices are value - groundbreaking stuff

[Daryl Carter @DarylCarter7]

It does still bug me that some people have this hierarchy of thinking that they are better than others because "they don't take overnight prices" like it's some unwritten rule only the clever follow.

I looked at my data of over 50k race results here is what I found⬇️

@KevInKCMO17 @tickerscricket Invented most other sports also pal

And it is called football

@StevenNevison61 @bbctms @HomeOfCricket But its not Durham or Glamorgan is it.
