✍️ Ignorant government plans to tax bookies more could destroy racing

@robwrighttips says if Whitehall wants more cash it should target online casinos rather than jeopardising a revered British industry and the 85,000 jobs it supports ⬇️

@milesvartan If team O’Brien can control the race from the front, Lambourn will likely win. Good chance they’ll get disrupted though - I’d rather give Pride of Arras another chance at a bigger price

@TimesSport The National looks as wide open as ever. Hopefully this will guide some of you to the winner. Good luck!

@sam_angelina22 Thanks Samantha. And Happy New Year!

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

@Greg_Wood_ Not sure about that, Greg. You kept me honest all the way to the line, as did the RP Ratings team late on!

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

@JasonHeavey @thetimes That’s v kind Jason. As you well know, it’s a long haul. Happy new year!!

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

@WeaverRacing @Timeform V kind Patrick but there are three days left and both RP Ratings and the Guardian are certainly keeping me honest. Not counting any chickens, that’s for sure!

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

Just a great feel-good story

@TimRuffle Cheers Tim!

@ericfaraway1 Thanks Eric. I’ve been sending a recording with my tips each day - have to confess I haven’t been listening (can’t stand the sound of my own voice!) but as far as I’m aware they’re still being broadcast. Possibly just at 6.50 and not now also 8.35?

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

@parkie_parkes Thanks v much Gavin. You never stop learning in this game!

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

@Siouxie59 That’s a fine effort, Susan! Obviously City of Troy ought to win today but there could be some funny results on that soft ground!

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

@Siouxie59 Thanks v much Susan. Terrific starting price!

[Samantha Martin @sam_angelina22]

@robwrighttips @BHAStewards Listening to the head steward on ITV - apparently the new rules don’t cover jumping and because he wasn’t declared a NR before he can’t be declared after. It’s just an embarrassment for the sport. Alienating new fans. Never crossed the start. Ridiculous.

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

@sam_angelina22 @BHAStewards Punters have lost their cash without having any chance, due to an error by the starter. Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing the new BHA rules were meant to stop? Or are they unable to accept the starter was at fault?

[Rob Wright @robwrighttips]

How on earth have the stewards declared Maasai Mara as a runner at Sandown? Appalling decision @BHAStewards. Facing the wrong way with someone holding its head! Would love to hear the reasoning
