Racing League : We all know its pointless, now proved its a farce

I've never heard of it, I did question why a commentator was referring to the east the other day.

Another example of dumbing down sport to try and attract bigger audiences. It's completely killed any interest I have in F1, with a set of completely arbitrary rules to try and make the racing 'closer'.

And I'm fed up with hearing 'the Test match is a thing of the past' as people's attention spans are so short these days.

Ye gods, what kind of people are we spawning these days ?!

Very hard to get enthused about the regional set-up, obviously the brainchild of someone who knows little about racing's traditions. An interesting alternative might be a racing league featuring the top UK and Irish stables competing individually, but to get any substance to the event sponsorship would be vital as the prize money would have to be huge to get the cream involved!

Load of rubbish…horse racing is just about spent, my first visit on course last week for years wasn’t like it used to be..then this nonsense.

Betting ring a spent force

What does Mr Rishi Sunak and Racing League have in common? They do not know when to quit; ego before common sense and understanding what the punters want.

One cannot polish a turd. And, Racing League is a TURD.

impossible is a Truss supporting Tory as we already knew.

looking forward to a day in the near future when we're all glued to sky on transfer deadline day, hanging on every word and clinging to the dream that "the East" is signing a big name jockey at the eleventh hour.
Or maybe not so near.... or maybe I'm dreaming now... and maybe... just maybe... the BHA will actually wake up and realise it was all just a nightmare vision from the very start. End it now, you know it makes sense.

I do not like it because it's sh1t racing not conducive to promoting the sport. The clue is...the sponsors. It's by scumbags. When have the scumbags been promoting horseracing, and recreational punters? Closure and restriction of accounts perhaps for those who are clued up and not blinkered, or fobts the gravy trainers?

Put on decent races with good prize money even on the all-weather eg Winter Classic; cull 20% of programme - less is more. There is too much racing; too much carp racing for the benefit of the scumbags. And, too many scumbags masquerading as bookies. I believe a clear distinction between online bookies and online casinos is necessary; cull them accordingly eg suplly and demand to match users and sports; distinguish sports and casinos. And, legislate accordingly.

I can never vote for Mr Sunak despite voted Conservative as a Labour supporter during Mr Corbyn's leadership. Mr Sunak is cheesy, arrogant and too far detached from the ordinary and average British voter. I also believe he thinks he knows more than his ability and experience. I do not trust him; says one thing, does another to feather his own nest and cronies.

A full meeting of higher class handicaps is not something I would ever bother with but other people might enjoy it and that is all that matters. One thing I would never want to see is a reduction of meetings which apart from anything else would cause thousands of lost jobs.

The better class of horses already have decent prize money compared with the lower classes yet the largest fields remain in Class 6 races as that has the majority of horses in training. If there is a shortage of stable staff then perhaps an increase in training fees may be required to pay the people properly.

Of course sageform we both know the main problem here is that bookmakers do not put enough back into the sport which is not something that France has to worry about. Have we lost a number of stable staff since Brexit I wonder?

Is it any coincidence the prizes on offer in the Racing League are significantly higher than those that are not? Is it any coincidence the sponsors are bookies? Is it also any coincidence these races are on terrestrial tv, and not just confined to horseracing channels like most?

I do like prestigious and even competitive horseracing but, please not confined solely to handicap races. The Arc offers significantly less prize money than the Sheema Classic, etc, but which race is more prestigious, Arc or Sheema? Similarly, The Ebor or Lincoln. Are these races on the sh1t level as the Racing League?

Fewer trainers and/or fewer horses, if so. But, the industry needs sorting out. I think the BHA will be a good start.

Innovation? I'd call it lack of foresight and not knowing what the consumers want. Others might be less courteous...arrogance perhaps. The extra money could have been better targeted to mitigate this spiral decline in horseracing.

Economics? I study economics at higher school, but Economics is opened to interpretation given know and variable factors. No PM or potential PM know or can master Economics even Professors of Economics have differing opinions and ways of dealing with any macro/micro situation.

What Mr Sunak was doing in his hustings were "preaching" to the electorates as if he knew it all without considering the immediate negative and major consequences of the less able and affected eg not willing to increase borrowing to alleviate "cost of living" experienced by voters thro' no fault of their own solely because he did not want the debt to be shouldered by the next generation.

Who built this country? The present youngsters? The next generation or their forebears? Mr Sunak likes to hear himself speak; he's smart, but not as smart as he'd to thinks he's.

Mr Sunak did not resign because of "Partygate" (why?) but Mr Pincher - an innocuous individual - immediately after Mr Javid; Javid is not his supporter and neither is Zawawi.

Why? Because he was feathering his own political nest!!
