You obviously never listen to Ken Pitterson, Chapman

which part?

He put me off Encompassing, kept going on about it sweating.

dont push it if there swetting imo

he is able to get a good price for himself by talking such**

thats not ken.......only tells it as he sees it

I got told that ken the Chef sed that Hannon 2yo flying machine wasnt fit at Windsor yeserday. Maybe he is just a guesser ;)

Ken last week said that one of mark johnston horses had no chance at kempton , as it wins well in the end. Never listen to these guessers. :(

he only gives his view.........if hes never seen the horse beforejust reports how it is ......if we know what were doing........how could you back dont push it looking at it

At least he gives his view... and pre-race too.

If Ken was so smart at judging horse flesh ,the guy should be a zillionare . He should have stuck at his initial career of a Chef

Ken is a gent... always has time to chat at the races... it's just his view ffs...take it or leave it.

He has to be a gent , it is part of the job description .

talking tutan if you know him and talk to him............like someone down the pub ..............gent NAP

Smashing bloke is ken

I can also confirm that he's a top man.

I have met the guy many times . All I am saying the guy is polite and well mannered part of the job description to attract customers for his company , but he is just in the wrong job , just my opinion .

fair comment ........i dont like gordon brown

On a slight variation of this, more than one writer in the past has used the returns to level stakes of horses receiving the Raceform 'lw', against those that don't carry this comment, as evidence of the advantages of paddock inspection. However, for obvious reasons there has always been a suspicion that the decision to award the 'lw' is influenced by the result and the only way these paddock judges can themselves be judged is by how useful their pre-race comments are in relation to the result.

At lease with Gordon Brown he knows what his talking about .

whats mandy told him to say ?

I rate Mandy as one of the biggest intelects this country has produced ,but shame his so naughty. Waiting for the 3 way debate when Browny will floor the opposition by the 3rd round.

Nick Mordin use to always recommend the reading of chapter 7, ' Body Language at the Racetrack' from the book 'The Body Language of Horses'. The chapter splits the pre-race animal into the following categories; the sharp horse, the ready horse, the dull horse, the frightened horse, the angry horse. her is a few lines from the latter category:

' the horse may feel a special grievance against a particular handler, rider, assistant starter ( LOL), kind of weather or racing surface... if it stops,tries to face the crowd, flattens its ears, pops it's tail and even kicks you know at once it is no fan of the fans. This alerts you to watch the pre-race formalities closely and see whether the annoyed one gets over the annoyance,or just gets angrier'.

WALOFS !

Another one for Sparrow


If you don't like the threads keep off them!

You need help, Different Gravy.

ewe wernt on this fred sparra marra..watts bisto referring to please?

You might well ask, rico.

I think he's referring to sparrows inability to read any negative comment about a non white or female person
without almost instantly getting in the identity politics dig.
He'll often ask what 'woke' means when it's mentioned, they can't resist that either.

Saddo thinks he got everyone summed up perfectly. One thing for sure is we all know about his hangups.

Saddo knows!

Precisely nothing.

Never seen you using the race/gender card when black/brown/female Tories have been on the end of abuse,
coincidence or does your actual Politics trump the identity guff when the two collide?

What hangups?

I don't see colour in the same way as you saddo. They are just Tories to me but you wouldn't understand any of that being an out and out racist yourself.
