This from the BHA site Stewards Report
The winner, BEN BUIE (IRE), appeared to show improved form compared with its previous run at Pontefract 25 June 2023, where the gelding finished fourth of five, beaten 37 ½ lengths. The explanation given by Martin Keighley, that BEN BUIE (IRE) benefitted from the reapplication of the visor and being able to dominate in front, was noted. This Ladies and Gentlemen is your regulatory body. |

Prime candidate for biggest blooper ever surely has to be the write up for Goldikova's first BC, which questioned whether she would act on the pro-ride. If memory serves it was spotted on this forum and I'm not sure whether the online version was then re-jigged.

Back page of today's post. By James Milton. " Newcastle take on man City in a daunting efl cup FIRST ROUND tie this evening". This lack of attention to the simplest of details is why I don't buy it anymore.

Today Graham Woods informs us Australia beat Georgia 35-25. It was 35-15. Then in his opinion he states "Tonga struggle to score points". Really??? They scored 16 v Ireland and 17 v Scotland. A great return against 2 top teams surely.
|

By:
Today Graham Woods gets his handicaps mixed up in the Ireland v Scotland game - hcap about 12 - and the Wales v Georgia game - hcap around 18. He has put them the other way around. Truly desperate stuff.

Gibraltar v Ireland. Tom Hill, whoever he Is, informs us that in his opinion ireland can still make the play offs if they finish 3rd. He states " if Ireland beat Gibraltar and the Netherlands AWAY they move up to 3rd". It is only mathematically possible. Even then its 10 billion. The only way Ireland finish 3rd is to win the 2 games lol. And then the Netherlands to lose to both Greece and GIBRALTAR!!!!!! Where did they dig him up from?

That only serves to emphasise the idiocy of both the BHA and Racing Post for publishing the - 'to the yard' - Race Distance in the Race TITLE
Today's Race is published as .... 7f216y - That is just 4 FOUR 'effing Yards SHORT of being - A MILE Why cannot they BOTH publish the Race DISTANCE as = 1 Mile What with Rail movements - or, even in Straight only races, Jockeys switching from one side of the track to the other (for a perceived 'Golden Highway') - the 4 YARDS - becomes entirely INCONSEQUENTIAL Yet the pedantic PRATTS want, and do, still OUTPUT that Yards NONSENSE. |

Tote ten to follow. Dylan Hill doing a write up on 50 horses to choose from a week or 2 ago. Nothing wrong with that. Except there are only 49 horses in his list!!!!! Coming to something when these post "pundits" can't count to 50. Sloppy and lazy.

Few could argue with Springwell Bay’s stylish victory in the 0-140, but supporters of White Rhino are within their rights to feel slightly aggrieved as he found his path briefly blocked by the winner in the home straight. Except that White Rhino found his path blocked by American Sniper in a 0-125, a completely different race. https://www.racingpost.com/news/previews/3.35-cheltenham-will-white-rhino-continue-remarkable-progress-or-has-handicapper-finally-caught-up-after-49lb-rise-over-ten-months-aEMTW9T5PlED |

In the hard copy on Tuesday Supervisor the winner of the last at Wincanton the day before is referred to as having raced last time out at Newcastle.
Er, it was Newbury. Basic stuff. |
|
By:
It was Monday, not Tuesday.
 |
|
By:
It was Monday's racing and thus the results were in Tuesday's paper!
Or have you discovered the paper where tomorrow's results are printed screaming? PS It won't be the Rancid. |

Ah.

Won twice over fences last summer (including here) and best effort since when second over 2m here in February. May of found the race coming too soon when fifth at Catterick later that month and no surprise to see a better showing returned to this venue.
From the Timeform ATR comments. Phil Bull currently spinning uncontrollably in his grave. |

It’s a bit harsh highlighting the odd error,these guys work 24/7 for the benefit of their readers,posting copy within minutes of the action.96 pages everyday,even the red tops get Sunday off.plus they contribute to outlook,weekender.then there’s social media,and on line podcasts,you tube.
Amazing feat to keep the show on the road,15 meetings on a bank holiday. More work must go into it than your normal daily paper. Every single person interested,or works in racing would be lost without it. |

By:
An error of say, "3rd" rather than "4th", is excusable I accept. Possibly a typo.
"May of" just demonstrates a complete ignorance of the English language. It is not a typo; it is what that person thinks is grammatically correct. As such it brings into question their competence to be a journalist. |

A nice one from Tineform
Notched second success over fences when taking a 17.7f handicap hurdle at this course during the spring. Shaped well starting out over fences at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) and this former Irish point winner is of strong interest back up in trip here with that run under his belt Phil Bull spinning violently in his grave/ |

Timeform even. At least I noticed my error!

Not the rancid but it's commonplace everywhere you look these days. No proper racing education. Racing TV one of the presenters said "great win for jonbon. That's 3 tingle creeks he has now won". He said it 3 times. Sunday itv 4 3.00 huntingdon. On the results page it said "ALL 6 RAN". There were 5 non runners as 11 were declared to run. Commentator on match last night. "West ham will have to play better if they are to get into the top 10. Top half even". Hard to understand how they come out with incorrect rubbish on a regular basis.

Rancid today page 3. This one won't be topped for stupidity. A picture of joystick yesterday. It says " joystick leads under Paul towmend before WINNING the 2m 3f maiden hurdle at punchestown". How can you write this? How is it going to print? No wonder I don't buy it anymore. Near the back Jamie griffith talks about the arsenal game tonight. He has 2 best bets on it. Arsenal to win 2-0 at 6-1 and arsenal to win 2-0 at 8-1.

Liam Headd the LAMBOURN "correspondent" insists Constitution Hill is an 8 year old. Has said it in 2 articles. Doesn't understand the workings of all racehorses birthdays. Surely ANYBODY working in the post can put him right.
