" well OF " - is the colloquial ..
ie: 'used in ordinary or familiar conversation; not formal or literary'. Which people use - or it SOUNDS as if they use - instead of the written ... 'might well HAVE been on the sharp side'. |

Aren't people actually saying "well/should/would 've"? I.e. abbreviating have to 've for ease of dialogue.
People then mistake the 've for 'of' and then write 'of'? |

3.45 Wexford 30/8/14
A tricky and fairly competitive race in which Colin Keane was positive on Unrequited and it paid off. He was challenged in the straight and kept finding. Ger Lyons, representing trainer Shane, said that he was learning and would be a staying type who could improve. Unfortunately, the rider failed to weigh in, meaning COOLFIGHTER won by default.(Johnny Ward) High praise for Colin Keane then the bombshell of forgetting to weight in and that was after demoting Ger Lyons to trainers rep.:-) |

Why misinformation needs correcting...RP reporter states that G Force was gelded in his post race analysis after his debut win at newcastle. i have confirmed since he is still a colt. Why this isn't put right is beyond me. had me duped. http://www.racingpost.com/horses/result_home.sd?race_id=598863&r_date=2014-04-24&popup=yes#results_top_tabs=re_&results_bottom_tabs=ANALYSIS |

Comment on Mazoula winning at Wolver last night...
"...she'd run her best race on figures at this track last month and clearly thrived on her return to Tapeta...." Well, no. She hasn't run at the track before. That 'best race' you're referring to was presumably the run at Windsor on Aug 10, which would have been on turf, of course, but would have been the day before the first day of racing on Tapeta at Wolver, so perhaps that's where you're getting confused, Marcus? I dunno. Perhaps the beer was good? |

How odd. The perfectly polite response I made to the effect that I had alerted the editor of the RP (best not to mention him by name as it's seemingly a word that triggers a moderator) to the many errors but that he denied there was any issue has been removed!

21710- Owner details CAROLE´S DESTRIER — — 11/4 Won valuable handicap hurdle at Kempton (2m5f, good to soft) in March and subsequent defeat at Aintree festival shouldn´t be viewed harshly; probably has more to offer over hurdles but Neil Mulholland evidently keen to get her started over fences. Er, she is a gelding. |

DAVID O'MEARA claimed a second Group 1 sprint of the season as Move In Time came with a decisive late thrust under Danny Tudhope.
In what was a typical rough-and-tumble five furlong dash, the gaps came when they were needed for Tudhope, where as Richard Hughes found himself with nowhere to go when attempting to challenge on favourite Sole Power. However Hughes later reported the horse to not been the same force as when winning the King's Stand and Nunthorpe. |
