THE ST. JAMES'S PLACE FOXHUNTER CHALLENGE CUP OPEN HUNTERS' STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 2)
The Veterinary Officer reported that a kit bag search of Alan Fleming, the trainer of FOXROCK (IRE), revealed possession of Pro-Dosa Boost Oral Paste, an electrolyte trace element replacer. The trainer, the Equine Welfare and Integrity Officer and the Veterinary Officer were interviewed. The explanation of the trainer that it was unopened and had not been used was noted. Being satisfied that the gelding had received only normal food and water by mouth on the day of racing, the Stewards allowed FOXROCK (IRE) to run and the gelding was routine tested. They further confiscated the substance, ordered that it be tested, and referred the matter to the Head Office of the British Horseracing Authority.

Not a bet to make you rich but surely On The Fringe is a place lay?
They did not bring the "gear " over to take it back did they , the horse should have been withdrawn.
done unioniste e/w, still a good horse, just wish he could ride.
Barrel of laughs 36.00 , 38.00 , 9.00 to place ,6.00 1st 5, 4.70 1st 6
Volnay Du Thaix (thought presumably the ground's gone against him now given he's drifting like a barge) and Unioniste - both each way.
Virak is my main bet of the day at 18s
Some fantastic chase form a few years ago.
Declined, but Hunter Chases have revived him.
Likes sticky ground. Impressive run and win in Haydock bog lto
Paul Nicholls struggling though

Katie Walsh to get Foxrock home, saver on On The Fringe.
Someone thinks it will handle the conditions besides me just gone from 30.00 into 16.50
He did the dealer, that looked all over to be a false start.
Still a bad ride. She couldn't even get the horse under a drive.
She rode a better finish in that photo opportunity 
VWD though

Full license trainers should be allowed to run horses in point to points
Jamie Codd needs a good boot in the balls there.
Had Burning Ambition stuck in a scrum on the rail for most of the race.

Triumph for the Racing Post
Winner joint top rated RPR and top rated topspeed.

The only reason why Pacha didn't win the first time was that Victoria rode to orders and was too far back. No blame attached to her. Don't forget that Bryony and Harriet are experienced riders even if they were inexperienced at the top level.
I’m amazed how that’s won a Foxhunters after such a shocker of a run just over 3 weeks ago..
hE WAS LOOKING FOR THE BETTER GROUND
Hoss wont stay beyond 3 miles

Where were P Nichols other two runners , the two jockeys never put them in the race.
I backed Virak who was never going, nor was Wonderful Charm, and Unioniste's jockey is just about the least competent in the race. Caid de Berlais and Will Biddick ran really well in fifth.
Stewards fining R Johnson for whip abuse in G. Cup. How about calling in P Nichols
to explain the running of his other three runners in the Foxhunters - all comfortable LTW in Hunter Chases.

I personally don't believe trainers holding a pro license should run horses in the race let the ptp have their day its all a bit sad when the millionaire stewart family win the race which is not for them really.

It was last night on the Racing Post website.
What did Burning trade at in running I can't undersatnd how you get that stuff.
that was one of the most truly bizarre winners I've ever seen, jockey just seemed to be trying not to fall off at the finish. I presumed the saddle must have slipped given the way she was hanging on to the horses neck!
Burning ambition seemed to hurt himself after jumping the second or third last.
Looked the winner but landed very hard on his front legs and seemed to almost stop.
Lost ground very quickly after and was dismounted after the finish.
Hope he,s ok.

She dislocated her shoulder at one of the fences and managed to put it back in. Is on rp about it!.
bloob, the jockey was interviewed on RUK after race and she popped her right shoulder out raising the whip after the last.
She called it a half dislocation and was unable to pop it back in. Think she was too buzzing to feel any pain!

Burning Ambition finished lame with a bit of heat stroke I believe

i'm just trying to understand what was so different last night, when presumably the paper edition had been printed, sent out and was exactly as the RP was on line today

Haven't the foggiest tomhunt. Can only back up blackbarn's comment from my experience last night.

Yes, but ...
From the owners' and trainers' point of view, yes, that's right.
But what about the riders? Both Stewart and Nicholls separately made the point that they are giving new jockeys a chance. This was Harriet Tucker's second ride under rules. Last year, Bryony Frost's win on the same horse was literally life-changing and she is now a professional (conditional) jockey.
Contrast that with some experienced amateurs who are almost professionals, like Codd to name but one, fishing around for the best rides, and being courted by trainers.
So yes, you're right but that's not the whole picture.
