Can we keep to the facts - as has been the continual case with this long-running thread - - and leave your individual rants to other threads. |

Bruce Millingtons column ..(talking about 20 years ago ).
And there was the nine per cent betting tax.If you had a tenner on Liverpool to win at Evs you collected £19.1O ,unless you staked £10.90 in the first place. WRONG You would have collected £18.20. You didn't only pay tax on your winnings. |

Feck me onlooker and parispike they are the facts...
I have a million more stories about that rancid rag and if anything that I have said was not true then my thread will have been pulled on demand... You two Liberals are better off on another forum preferably one that does not require a set of balls... ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A FORUM ON A SITE WHERE THE CLEVER TAKE MONEY OFF THE WEAK... No room for the weak... |

An uncompetitive novice hurdle.
CARNINGLI got a np-nonsense ride from his in-form jocket and showed his true colours. He would have won with even more authority had he jumped three and two out better. The 6yo stays well and should make into a better chaser next season. Bells ´n´ Banjos briefly looked a big threat to the winner yet got put in his place in the home straight. It was a sound effort over the longer trip and he has another one of these within his compass. [David Orton] |

Feck me I am no fan of that rancid Bookmaker owned rag but they must make some mistakes due to the sheer volume of data that they process....
Plus the fact the staff are not that clever. You should concentrate on the mistakes that the Editorial staff make. |

By:
I would consider a Pedigree Compiler (above source) - if YOU know where to look for it - to be, "Editorial staff,"
Now - as previously requested - kindly stay off this FACTUAL thread - with you fatuous acerbic comments. |

1st Dormello Mo (FR) 4/1
Well in touch, ridden to chase leader after 3 out, challenging when blundered last and seemed to have all chance, rallied strongly flat to lead final stride. ---------- seemed to have (lost) all chance - surely. |
|
By:
Agapanthus
After winning his last two over hurdles he was only a remote fourth returned to chasing but would surely have won at Worcester (2m, good) had he not come down two out; obvious claims off same mark if still fancying it. Might not have won at Worcester as the race was at Wincanton. |

Spelling not editor's speciality either!
Page 18 headline 'Just Deserts as Gesture Lands First Group Win'. Then repeated in the article Evidently York were racing on sand yesterday! |
|
By:
I was in a Billy's briefly yesterday and amusingly the dunce Darren Owen, who was doing the "analysis", repeated the error regarding Agapanthus. Not that he was simply reading from the Post of course.

Tracked leader, led after 5th, hit next, went clear soon after 3 out, 17 lengths ahead last, heavily eased ----------------- How can you DEFINITIVELY say/claim 17 lengths? - especially when - "heavily eased" - yet the winning distance was ONLY TWO lengths less. |

Analysis from the last at Kelso yesterday, re the bumper winner, Banks O'Houxty....
"The Karen McLintock yard does not have that many bumper winners but with Sam Twiston-Davies making the journey to the track for just this ride the omens looked good." Sam had ridden the 2nd in the previous race, Buddy Love, for his dad, as well as the 2nd in the first race on the card for David Dennis. The same person's name, Sanda Noble, is attached to the Analysis of each race. I really don't understand how a person can make a mistake like that. Buddy Love is a mare who has run several times for NT-D, winning and being placed more than once, is a nice bright grey, and ran a very prominent 2nd just half an hour before the bumper - how can anyone not notice Sam T-D's presence at the course prior to the bumper? And as for Karen McLintock 'not having that many bumper winners', I reckon there's was only one trainer in that 13-runner bumper race who'd have more bumper winners than her. |

Solar Power did quite well to weave his way through from a wide stall and kept on but ideally he needs them to stop in front and that didn´t happen here.
----------- Should read SOLARSPIRIT - Tracy Waggott's the 10-year-old Handicapper, running 3rd at Catterick, last Saturday. The Analyst apparently had the Irish Sprinter SOLE POWER on his mind - who was entered at both Haydock and the Curragh on the same day. |
|
By:
Rouleau, related to a few winners, most notably Group 1 6f scorer Amadeus Wolf, wasn´t ideally birthed in stall one and it didn´t help that he went away to his left on leaving the stalls. He finished nicely, though, despite showing signs of greenness, and is probably the one to take from the race.

Monte Wildhorn, a clear-cut winner at Newton Abbot on his stable debut last time and up 8lb, led them into the straight and was upsides at the last, but his stamina gave out. This trip looked a little sharp.

Sub has had a mare in 5:40 Roscommon.
Hard to fancy too many of these and top choice is KING CHRISTOPHE, who was the best of them over hurdles and there´s no reason he shouldn´t develop into a decent juvenile hurdler. Armistice Day: Never counted on sloe start last year in Britain for David Brown and picked up for only 1,500GBP at Doncaster in January; finished last on Irish debut at the Curragh. |

31Jul15 Mus 5Gd C52yHntHc 3K 9-2 2/6 (2L Zoraida 8-5) 3/1 P J McDonald 69 48 64 ------------- 2yHntHc - translates as a .... 2-yr-old HUNTER Handicap.  What happens is that the database scans the race title, and picks up on 'significant' words in the race name... in this case - Bernard Hunter Mobile Cranes Nursery Handicap. Hence - this season, we also now have races for NOVICE Amateur Riders' - and the database is then outputting those races as ... 'Nv' indicating a NOVICE RACE... as in Novice Hurdle, or Novice Chase. |

FOXES BRIDGE just got up to overcome big odds in a first-time visor at Worcester three weeks ago, and again scrapped home having benefited from the strong pace. There was five in contention entering the straight, but Foxes Bridge stayed on strongest, despite blundering the last, and a hat-trick cannot be ruled out granted a similarly run race.

QUOTES That was much more like it from Marie Des Anges. She´s normally very nibble, but lost her confidence at Chepstow last time. We rode her positively here and she got into a good rhythm. It was the perfect trip and she copes with any ground. I wouldn´t have thought she´d run at Warwick or Exeter next week, but hopefully she´ll win again this summer. - Anthony Honeyball, trainer.
