The good Doc no longer working at TVN, he described them on radio this morning as having the most incompetent management he's worked for and called the board a Sheltered Workshop, said he was not sacked but left on his own accord

Got nothing to do with Betfair, however it is decided it has nothing to do with Betfair what the market mover is...it is the sportingbet market mover isn't it?
And of course it won, hasn't said boo since.

Re: Mosheen, another case of Bruce Almighty packaging info to suit. Smashed back in to 3.2 he says when the move from 3.4 was all about the late scratching. Dr Turf has regard for the regular viewer as opposed to the know all tricksters.

So you are blowing up they made it a market mover and it won.
Would have been better to tip something else that was beaten?
Lets go back to just putting up the totes like Sky, cross when they are in the barrier?

If you are talking to me, I couldn't care less if something is a "market mover" or not. His quote of it being smashed was after the race and the only time Mosheen firmed was after the late scratching and that was after the Almighty and the Cripple finally shut up and handed over to Miles.

Bit harsh,imo Merv. I recorded and watched the coverage. Only room for one personality

the size of Richie's , Bruce is Bruce and Gately doesn't appear to have a "look at me" type

personality.... prob knows his stuff? and that's what he offers.

They struggled to cover all of them in the yard (unless there were five runners)  because of

the jovial "entertainment" between races Cry

Looking at them in the yard, even with poor lighting and poorer camera angles is my preference

to being "entertained".

Cheers
Report merveille February 26, 2012 10:42 PM GMT
Is a matter of personal preference no worries there.  For me, give me Turf over Richie any time.  I don't use times and sectionals much at all, so Gately's effectiveneess is reduced.I don't shape what I back on their opinions anyway, so give me some entertainment..!

And, it's just my opinion, but watching them on the TV in the yard is a very poor substitute for being there in the flesh - but better than not seeing them at all, I grant you that.

So if I am at home on a Friday night having a beer, Turfy used to give me a smile at times and I respected his opinion, the others I don't. Nothing personal against them, they just bore me and I won't watch much in between races if it's Gately and Clark and Richie.
Report THERE....IS....NO....SPOOOOON February 28, 2012 4:19 PM GMT
Fair enough, Merv.

Perhaps Olzanski doing his runner by runner dissection would be an option to fill 25 of the 30

minutes between races? (maximum 7 runners MischiefCry

and for a bit of light entertainment they could play the odd game of "celebrity heads" with

him being Virgil from the Thunderbirds in EVERY game Mischief

or a Pick Which One IS AMERICAIN type photo-game Cool

No offence , Adam. Blush
