Can We Get Through Royal Ascot Without Mentioning Stride Length....

Guaranteed to bore everybody rigid with no exceptions.

Hopefully after each race they'll tell us the Average cadences (strides/second) for the winners.

And pricked ears.

no jamie lynch already had the tape measure out on sky sports racing

ITV Racing think it's a good idea if Blakey introduces the concept to the mainstream. Maybe the reaction will be so good they will do a programme with Blakey, willoughby and Rowlands, but maybe not.

just another variable to confuse the puzzle with.

godolphin 2nd string got stride length of 26.5 feet in next according to barmy lynch but didnt tells the stride length of the godolphin 1st string ,
is a horses stride length mentioed on a flat track at a point its decided their flat out like a landspeed record as compared to going round a bend,uphill,down hill,pulled in behind etc
for how long in every race is that 26.5 ft for example reached ?

26,5 stride length backed in to fav,halved in price

An "intelligent head" is a good one.

I've no idea what exactly are the tell tale signs for that though t.b.h.

Load of bolks

Smoky it's OK to type bollocks, trust me.

I've got a longer stride than my wife but she takes more strides so we cover the same distance surely its the same with horses

I was County Champion 5ft nuthin and galloping past 6ft 6 Runners....Load of b0llax.

wrong stride!!!

surely if theres an advantage in racing to having a long stride,logic says the quicker you get in to it the better,which means you getting up to full speed,going for home to early, el gran senor etc ,would be tucked in ,pulled back and only use their  full stride however long it is for about a 100 yds,or wasting it according todays pundits for 99.9% of the race

when fitzy bangs on about 12 or 13 strides between the railway fences at sandown,
horse A that could be 13 x 26 ft stirde
horse B with 22 ft stride by last fence would need 14 or 15 strides,
fitzy been banging on about railwat fences for 20 yrs and never once mentioned the length of a horses stride

Well done Kevin Blake. Was spot on.

Any for today?

Blake said Opera Singer would lose and tipped Porta

I could have told you that.

^^
Indeed. I'd have 'lay' Ramatuelle; she clearly did not stay a stiff 8f. I think it was fairly obvious in France last season she'd have an issue with the 8f trip.

Blake being hailed the second coming on itv this morning, stride pattern analysis was a huge success it seems.

Ankle swinger, Rishi Sunak, is sure to lose the upcoming General Election ... his strides length is shorter than Sir Kier Starmer's.
Must be the lay of the year in Kevin's book.

What stride length or pattern do Cumani and Adele manage in 5 secs in the parade ring? How does this reflect on their productivity, observation and presenting?

The fragrant Francesca will no doubt be in the pudding club again by the end of the season, shortening her stride pattern. .... She is the best brood-mare in Cumanai's Fittocks Stud, she seems to get covered every year, no problem.
