i reckon we lose 1/2 an hour of our lives EACH DAY watching horses load (slowly) into the stalls. THE HRB need to understand people have shorter attention spans nowadays and SORT this nonsense out.

i am not advertising gambling but i believe that gambling would increase 50% if everyone know that the 2 o clock race would go off at 2 o clock.
but its a case of turn your watch or clock back 200 years as far as horse racing is concerned. |

Yeah all horses should behave identically every moment they are at the races so there are no delays ever, Get to work on it you BHA layabouts.

if a horse is not in the stalls at 2 pm ,run the race without him,a certain jockey not long ago walked his mount down to the start this year at Sandown and delayed a race 25 minutes.its only one example ,but most times it is not the horse that is to blame .
20 horse fields start loading at 2 pm ,5 handlers working their socks off to get them in while the other handlers stand looking on. |

richard hughes said we need more handlers. walking to the start thing is a joke when it could cost the sport valuable revenue with a delayed race.

yes run the race without them if there not on time the punters wont mind all the rule 4s.

Have a couple of outriders at each meeting, it would cost peanuts to organise.
