they have to wait for another one.Don't worry about the injured bloke though. |

I posted half an hour ago that it was the ambulance driver who was hit, and there’s still a load of old biddies on here blaming the racecourse and/or the ambulance service for the delay.

This country has never been the same since the complaining snowflakes got their way with Brexit, we are turning into a 3rd world country, next the snowflakes will be complaining about a motif on the back of a soccer shirt. wtf

If you think Brexit had anything to do with 'snowflakes' then you really do need to study the facts a little closer

Dolling off fences even though the shadows show the sun is at right angles up the straight. What a fecking sport we devote so much time and effort to.
|
|
By:
All the punters need at the end of a long day, is a chase with half the fences taken out due to low sun.
|

By:
Nobody seems to be able to make a decision anymore. Not just in racing but throughout UK businesses.
|
|
By:
All the fences in the hone straight and the first in the back straight. Knowing the shape of Newbury I cannot fathom how this can be justified.

Aye Aye... Snowflake alert...Well, you got your borders back and you snowflake Karens are still complaining, No doubt you're one of the "i want my boomerang back" snowflakes like 30p Lee...whine whine whine

Race ended up a farce. Should have just abandoned the race rather than turning it into a flat race.
.... mind you, in 10 years time there will be no such thing as NH racing the way things are going. |

Baby boomers - the most snowflakey generation to exist and they don't even know it - it's great! Everything laid on a plate for them their whole lives and in to retirement, sheeting on the generations to come with bafflingly generous pensions aaaaaaaaaand that still isn't good enough for them. The country is a mess cos you lot left it in such a mess - even bigger than the mess you lot got us into when we had to 'join' Europe in the 70's. Never has a generation had so much and spunked so much leaving nowt for those to come - and that's without mentioning North Sea Oil. Good luck with your care in your old age, if you are in the north then you stand a chance of being ok but in the south you will have to give all your savings to shyster care cos for appalling service - if you are lucky! And its a system your generation devised - well done. |

Didn't watch that last race but you have to bear in mind that fences cost money to repair so it is imperative to reduce the number of horses that jump them.

Was a member at Newbury for many years and a former shareholder. They sold out for residential redevelopment. Was there when the parade ring thing happened. So very sad. Once was a beautiful racecourse. The Hennessy and Racegoers restaurants excellent. Sadly no more. And never a chance of getting a race of on time, jumps or flat. No longer a member, PR and membership admin got it so very
wrong. |

Snowflakes are defined as people who easily get upset e.g over anxious, missing work by malingering with “modern day stress” , dont want to upset anyone even if they deserve it,, have to have equal numbers of cultures in every advert or drama, and love the BBC. That aint my generation and I am 74. Lived through rationing, poor education, low tech medical help, bread and dripping, 15% mortgages. ,back to back housing, petrol shortages, black outs, 3 day week, very few people owned cars in the 50's no central heating and I had outside toilets til I was 32.
You don't know half. |

Decisions are a lot easier to make when there are no consequences (and legal action) when you get one wrong.
I think it was the lack of communication that was sadly non existent, not sure about on course punters but the TV studio and stay at home punters were left for what seemed an age without any idea on what was happening. All what was needed as soon as the incident occurred was an announcement stating what had happened and when or not was the racing likely to resume. Not hard imo. |

Comedy hour yesterday on here. Brexit became purgatory DUE in part to snowflakes. The little darlings couldn't tolerate a democratic vote going against them.

It was widely regarded as the fairest track in the country, flat and jumps and the favourite of many trainers and jockeys. It is far enough to drive from my home in Somerset but I made the effort many times until they changed the car parking and built houses over most of it. My earliest memory was Mill House beating Arkle in the Hennessy and one of the best was Buona Notte winning his first novice chase so a fitting link to John Haine, a childhood friend who was remembered in the first race yesterday. I had gone there with some fellow students from Reading and told them it was a certainty which it was but John decided to give the horse a schooling session for the first mile so was last turning in before cruising past the field and winning hard held. I was called a few names at half way by my mates who were not regular racegoers. Habitat winning the Lockinge under Ron Hutchinson is my favourite flat race of the old days. He was a 3yo maiden carrying about 7-12 and easily beat Jimmy Reppin, the Champion miler at the time. Fulke Johnson Houghton and Charles Engelhard.
