Chased leaders, hit 9th, lost place 12th, behind 3 out, erased and tailed off when pulled up before last
I also saw a "should of" rather than "should have" yesterday,

Funky Munky, with cheekpieces back on, set off in a prominent position and put up a fair amount of resistance to Rear Admiral before being finally shook off. His only hurdling success came off an official mark of 85, but he looks capable of winning off this rating.

GEORGE B. and that was completely wrong too. He had his first ride here on Friday and his second today, not Perlachy to come on Thursday.
But we only pay £2 a day for them to get the facts right. Clearly it's not enough. My pet hate is the fillies' write-ups HE, HE, HE. Miss Filly, HE ran a nice race. |

Special Robon made the running but turning into the straight on the final circuit jockey Liam Treadwell appeared to make a legitimate mistake in not jumping the usual fourth from home, when in fact it was the next fence they were supposed to be by-passing, which cost him a 12-day ban. Special Robon was jumping well on the lead and may well have been involved in the finish, although it was too early to tell.
A bizarre and inappropriate use of the word "legitimate". One assumes that a reasonable command of the English language is no longer a prerequisite of being a Post "journalist". |

Been told to put this here:
"A moderate handicap, run at an average pace. SIR DYLAN sprung back to life thanks to the fitting of a new bit and came from well back to score. He fluffed the start and proved free in a race where was an advantage to race up with the pace. He alsowandered under pressure in the home straight, but showed a decent burst to collar the leader where it mattered. While not straightforward, connections may have found the key to him now and he should have more to offer when faced with more of a test. Midnight Bahia got a freebie out in front and very nearly stole it off the home turn, but was mugged on the wire. A clear second-best, she´s improving and deserves to go one better." It was a dead-heat between Midnight Bahia and Sir Dylan. |

My continuous gripe is the reporting of French races in the form where horses are 1/3 and 2/3 etc. One muses at the shortage of runners in France but when a check is done on the fields it says 10 ran and 14 ran etc.

the problem with the RP is there are to many journos doing spotlight comments..look at catterick today..there are 3 different ppl doing spotlight comments..at lingfield there are 3 totally different ppl doing their spotlight comments..but at Wolverhampton only one person is doing the comments..so it takes 7 different people to do comments at 3 different meetings..
post race results comments are always rushed with the track reporter under pressure to get his/her copy in before racing finishes..this gives them little time to really analyze the race properly and leads to mistakes and **** ups..i wouldnt mind waiting till the next day or two if the race was assessed properly and then wrote up or re edited by a pro race reader..i have seen some journos on tracks writing up reports as the race is been run..crazy stuff..slap bang and wallop..this is what u pay for longterm..i am sure there is many RP journos who if given the proper chance would like to do a better job but alas they are always under pressure..i have the opinion that doing spotlight comments is akin to being on the naughty step at Canary Wharf...its an "if u have nothing better to do just do a few comments on tomorrows 2.10 at Lingfield"..any comment is acceptable and nothing is proofed at all..no time to proof things...i write racing articles for certain press and its checked and double checked not only for grammar mistakes..there is nothing worse than a major **** up as is shown here if u are a writer..the issue i have is its becoming a daily occurence with the RP..they must improve and justify their latest price hike..they must show they really give a **** and most of all they must show they know what they are talking about..i aint the greatest speller in the world and need someone to at least take a second look..my grammar can be bad esp with commas and such..we all have our flaws but when u pay for a service u expect at least the basics to be correct..Sergeant Cecil's post is a classic case and proof that the job is not been done properly at all...its one of many mistakes across the site  "A moderate handicap, run at an average pace.

He´s The Daddy looked on a stiff enough mark for this handicap debut, but he ran well for a long way and this former point winner is one to bare in mind for something similar.
It gets worse. Millington et al, you should be ashamed. |

Parispike, the only way Millington can get through the day is to convince himself that those actually speaking the truth on here should all just get on with our crayoning, imo...

THOMAS WILD didn´t jump as well as the runner-up, but he´s probably the stronger stayer of the pair, and he just did enough to get up on the line. Reversing earlier form with Victory Gunner, the much drier ground here suited and he´s one to bare in mind for marathon chases next season

Ended spell with Barry Brennan with convincing C&D success (soft ground) in November; this race is stronger and has fitness to prove on debut for Brendan Powell but remains well handicapped on old form.

The Racing Post is a joke ok its the most expensive paper on the stand £2 Mon till Friday £2.30 weekends thats over £600 per year
take a look at thier betting forecast any race they have 9/1 shots that win at 9/4...... and 9/4 shot that start and lose at 6/1 . has for thier so called Tipsters ...well lay em .. it pays for the paper |

Kayfton Pete, making his debut for new trainer Charlie Longsdon after leaving Fergal O´Brien, got into contention with the front two turning in, but couldn´t hold a candle to the winner up the home straight. He should remain competitive over further.
Er, it's trained by the Pogsons. Still I suppose it sounds like Longsdon. A bit anyway. Pathetic. |
