the awful flat racing kicking into gear !

Yarmouth = Easter Monday =

I'd agree re the likes of Windsor,bath and Yarmouth.But can't besmirch the whole of Flat racing with these examples. What about the glorious racing at Newmarket, Ascot, Goodwood,etc.

It's like comparing, Bangor, towcester and Leicester with Cheltenham, Sandown, Aintree !

meaningless drivel most of it,dont mind 1000 and 2000 at newmarket and the dante meeting but have had enough of it by royal ascot !

summer jumping -now there's a treat in store.

You mean there's a difference between summer jumping and 90% of winter jumping?

summer jumping is better than watching 15 runner handicaps at redcar and yarmouth,its horrible !

Presumably you don't watch it. So there isn't a problem then.

Treve,Austrailia,and many more give much optimism for the summer!

not very often,or less there is summer jumping on the same channel !

roll on the flat lot better than than the hedge hopping drivel.
school over a couple of hurdles or fences then pull up without no explanation yeah great to watch

Flat racing is boring. Your best horses get four or if you are lucky five spins on the track and just as you begin to appreciate them they spend the rest of their lives shaggging. That isn't racing. It's selective delayed breeding. Awful stuff. After Punchestown roll on the Autumn when we will welcome back old friends and prepare to celebrate some new ones.

I like both so shurrupp

we can spend six month trying to find the next faugheen,look forward to the champion hurdle,vatour,holywell,taquin,briar hill,the new one,lord windermere,champagane fever,sire de grugy,the list goes on and on,ooh the flat.australia,a french horse treve...great

Eternal optimist

You can get plenty of good  betting opportunities from Class 1-2 handicaps at Group 1 tracks . These horses run numerous times.

It's not just about group horses / pattern races on the flat

Aye the jumps are great are they not, slow horses plodding round(if your lucky), or falling knackered at the last, on a bog of watered ground. Great fun, what a spectacle, can't wait till next Autumn.

Give me the flat anyday.Have practically given up betting on jumps racing
