THE SHERGAR CUP

Time to broaden your her eyes on imo .

I can't believe this rubbish is still going

It's alright as a one-off imo, on a relatively quiet Saturday quality wise.

The problem is, there's some decent races there at Ascot, but htf can you have a bet when you've no idea whether there's a competent jockey or a muppet on top?

Surely you can do some research on the jockeys IDKW? You're worryingly close to copying the lead of many trainers who complain about an issue and do nothing, rather than separating from the crowd and taking advantage of an opportunity.

The close season of horse racing.

gives Clare a job.............

So is the default setting for some people basically that if the jockey is foreign then they must be cr@p?

The former has won the PdJC and the Arlington Million. Gen up, or lose out.

There is an element of luck involved, but that is in who draws what, from then on it is just a case of putting in the hardwork as with any other card

Hardwork, guesswork or a complete waste of time? You are doing well if you can tell what our jockeys are going to be doing. I hear next year they are staging the event on Mark Johnston's gallops.

Awful day's racing for a Saturday

I think it's kak,but if my bets come in who knows

It's not the event itself, it's the earnest and nauseating manner in which the industry's media helper monkeys will try to relentlessly sell this total charade as something that has actual relevance or worth, imho..

At least they'll all be riding out to the line.

comparing it to Ryder cup

The SOPS love it and the atr gravy swillers absolutely gamm it to death.

Ask 100 people what the Ryder cup is and u will get maybe half to 3/4 who get it right. Ask what the shergar cup is and probably 0 to 5 would get it right.
It is a joke meeting. Fact.
Mill house is right, it's the way the media try and play it up like it matters. It doesn't.

try to work out horse,same colours

it doesn't matter to the likes of you and millhouse etc,

but there are plenty of people who DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A BET to watch and enjoy horse racing !

just back saptapadi in the next at 14s,u can lay him at shorter in race  if u do that,he always trades much shorter but today should win really

I have to say I've changed my mind somewhat as I enjoyed that first race.

huge crowds ascot

Gary needs to do as he did series luck

average horses, very average riders from the ones i know, very poor prize money for all that is being made of it(more prize money in 3 races at Haydock that at the 6 races for shergar cup day) a truly shocking commentator in jim mcgrath, pretty crap the whole lot of it in my eyes

But superb punters and discerning riding critics on the forum. Everyone's rubbish 'cept us.

Any fancies for the purple helmet?

IT's a one-off
I quite like it

The people who moan about it every single year are tedious

At least they are decent sized fields , been putting up with 3,4,5 runners races all week.

decent prize money  -interesting  betting medium

looks jam packed on course  today ....

People moaning about something that makes up 0.0005% of their betting year

Should do this NH style on the wednesday at Cheltenham. Make a great 5th day.

Gary Stevens on sprinter sacre

Has the Mark Johnston team won yet

joke

Thought he'd given up

tie Pete waterman to telegraph over 2 miles

He's never gonna give up apparently.

Siralex - ask any racing question of the British public and the % correct would be less than 5%. Racing is a minority sport.

That Rat Faced **** Manning cost me The Placepot.

Never rated The Plonker.

You'll no doubt be backing Rat Catcher in the next at Ayr then...?

Take the piss but another 30,000 crowd again.you dinosaurs need to appreciate that racing will die without new blood.
