10 minutes to load 8 sprinters

All I could see was a couple of horses at the back of the stalls going round in circles. Some old sprinters who looked like they had never seen the stalls before.

Best in the World

They are hopeless

2 mins past post time. Not a single horse loaded

appalling loading of Los Angeles in the Derby...they were afraid to get behind the horse

We have some of the best horse racing in the world. We also have probably the worst starters and stall handlers. This weekend was generally really poor. Obviously trainers have to take some responsibility. In a lot of cases though there appears to be apathy and lack of urgency by stall handlers and shear incompetence by a lot of starters.

Certain trainers horses never have trouble entering the stalls.

Chesterfield Stakes, Newmarket.

Watch Australian racing, most races off bang on time.

Like today`s coppers. Too small.

How tall is a horse?

8st x 3 versus half a ton.

and the half ton at it`s peak in life. No contest.

Typically they load them one at a time. Why not two at a time?

It`s stalls they are going into not the Ark

If this ere 'global warming 'keeps up it will be the Arc mac.

lol R!

I still cant believe a stall handler was cautioned a couple of Years ago for throwing a handful of grass at a horses arse to make him walk forward ffs.....What chance have they got?

Even banned the Long Tom.....Horses laughing there arses off.

Sad to say but they`ll be banning racing altogether next.

... and I ain`t kidding.

Thb the way results are going so far this Season they can ban it Tomorrow.

tbh I wish the had never started it.

I`ll give you a winner if you want Acey by pm if you want one. But it ain`t horses.

Thanks but no thanks mac i never listen to tips.

Each course should have their own stalls, 50% wider than the ones we have at present. Carting a meccano set up and down the motorways is a nonsense.

No worries mate.

When punters are on a losing run (which we all get) 90% raise their stakes to get their money back. BAD idea. When on a bad run, reduce one`s stakes, and bide your time.

Increase your stakes only when on a winning run.

I know that you don`t most folk on here do their own thing but just saying.

Hope your luck on the nags changes soon. Be patient and you`ll bounce back.

100% Barstool. Stalls are far too small. Too claustrophobic for big animals like racehorses. Australia and USA much bigger.

Thanks mac good luck with your Good Thing.

post time and 2 horses amble out of the parade ring and being walked to the start. Honestly, it is quite disgraceful. This race will be ages late off.

if you cant canter to the post should be a non runner

your right withdraw them

and they should get rid of the stall handlers and get stall handlers over 16 stone look at the americans they get them in very quick i would bet 1/20 the americans stall handlers over ours
