Someone's gotta get hold of this game before it's lights out

The day to day racing has no credibility now. Even people who bet on it and make money realise the game is in a shocking state.

That complete piss take at newton abbot today was just a joke,they think they are clever too, thats whats laughable

i done my dough on this horse when it was stopped at newcastle ist time out ,again next time when obviously well backed and no value and done it again tonight,i,m certainly losing interest

10 days is simply a slap in the face to anyone who wasted their time/money picking this horse out & backing it........
Some gawp actually emailed ATR saying 'people make mistakes, footballers miss open goals etc'
What he doesnt realise is that no footballer missed an open goal 'on purpose'........these jockeys are deliberately & wilfully easing off, it's not a mistake, it's unprofessional & it's even more unprofessional of the local stewards to be so f***ing stupid that they "cannot be certain the horse would have won"

Absolute p!ss take & it's getting worse by the day under Bittar who wont answer constructive tweets, but prefers to waffle on about what a good film Anchorman is......WAFPC

As i said at the time, he's an old boy so why should he..

Which race are we on about, please?

Thamks.

Agree with everything that's been said on this thread, the sport is in a shocking state regards cheating, non triers/improvers. The journos and commentators don't help matters by constantly making excuses for the blatant poor rides/results/performances day in day out. No wonder turnover on horse racing is on the way down, while sports betting is on the way up, absolutely no integrity in horse racing anymore, except possibly in group races, though even those trainers go well hooky with the lesser lights in their stables.

just watched the coastal passage race, that is actually rancid, as you say.

Cade you are not wrong but has it always been like this or is it getting worse,seems to be a major incident every day atm.

i will bet as per normal in decent races and not low grade stuff and you're right nothing new has happened,but that doesn't make it right in anyway,nothing wrong in a gamble just the way it's conducted .

my attitude to the game has totally changed......when i see one of my selections drift like a barge, i usually dont back it now and THEY NEVER WIN...........its ok when one drifts from say 4/1 to 11/2..........but when u see it kick out further by a point every 30 seconds, u know it wont win. flirtinaskirt was one such today. drifted to 5/1 at the off...........im not saying it was pulled, maybe it is just not that good, but when i saw that massive drift, i said no way hoosay.........and it couldnt move out of its own way.

Most punters on here are "mugs",Yorkie!

yeah that cufflink done the same today, ended up place laying it, total non trier

I have backed my share of "Not Offs",trente trois.

Racingstar reports " nothing new happened" .......oh that's alright then we can all relax in the knowledge that the racing game is gash.

I hope he's not right when he says with some authority "the bleaters will continue to bet" as if we're all lemmings heading inexorably to the cliff edge..

Well Racingstar i've news for u this is one bleater who is betting less and less on Horse Racing cos i've seen the light, and have more belief in my fellow man than you.

Forget about fobts but i would guess year on year Horse Racing is playing less of a part in the revenues of the major bookmaking companies and in return these companies will be more and more careful about the monies they put back into Horse Racing.

Horse Racing authorities need to clean up their act and become a leaner,fitter and less rancid entity if it's going to prosper in the years ahead and not go the way of the dinosaur!

Well the racing authorities need to waken up Captain cos i look around a lot of the forums and read of plenty that have given up on British racing and look at the bookies these days too many of them and empty most of the time except for FOBT addicts.
Times are a changing.

Ive been punting my whole life, and Ive had a fair turnover on here for nearly a decade and have watched tens of thousands of races during that time. In regards the integrity of the racing these days and in recent years is that it has never been worse, that's a fact whether people have the stomach for it or not. I don't know why racing has become so blatantly corrupt, but I suspect stagnating or lowered prize money has a lot to do with it, along with the poor global economy.

Bdj and basil there are a lot of unhappy forumites at the moment we need to see some more punitive measures put in place for the kind of race riding we've seen over the past couple of days and the media need to play a bigger part in this and make much more noise when this nonsense happens for the long term health of the sport imo.
