Inexplicable explanations for a sudden improvement in form

well known gambling stable.

next question.

That's like the Return of the Saint with no previous series of The Saint.

Point taken.

But, c'mon, surely they could've come up with a better explanation than that !

Change of feed ?

Nitrous oxide ?

Lasix ?

The Xmas episode of Gavin and Stacey tickled their funny bone.

Etc.

if,after however long you've been following horse racing, you cannot understand the vagaries of betting against human and equine variables then please stop betting please.

Yeah, you get funny results.

I know that only too well.

But how the hell can the stewards accept such a p*ss poor justification for such an improvement in form ?!

Gambling stable or not,as far as explanations go, the report card ought to say, 'must try harder... .'

just one of those stables and with a more than competent stable jockey and money for the horse it wasn't exactly above the odds of probability

True.

It was backed, 28s into 22/1.

But still.

Interesting that a well-rounded explanation, the one you give, the trainer cannot give to the people supposed to be overseeing the game.

Example : why can't they just say, 'the previous jockeys were sh*te, but today we booked a half-way decent one.'

I jest.

Anyway, thanks for your input, chavman.

You from Chatham ?

no,scotland

me and my Scottish husdand have been living here for ages

everybody's gay in scotland

Just wondered how you chose your moniker.

I'm from Chatham, and the term 'chav' is supposed to have originated from here.

Oh, and I wasn't laughing at you having lived in Scotland for ages, or with a husband.

The horse was considered good enough to make her debut at the craven meeting where at 7/1 she finished 4th the winner went on to win the Albany at royal Ascot,in September 2023 of a7lb lower mark she won at goodwood in November she changed stables so there are 3 reasons to clutch onto, add to that last nights race was a very weak contest that all said to win the way she did was certainly a head scratcher.

don't know if it's true but the pundits were saying coming up the stand side was advantageous

The application of cash can often provide dramatic improvement imo...

Trainers don't have to offer the Stews an explanation. Many simply say they don't know!

Why do the stews bother asking? Probably to make it look like they're doing their job.

I noticed a Novice race the other day where a third time up runner was 500/1 on here. Clearly in to

get a low handicap mark. If the BHA was doing what it should be doing it would instruct the Stewards

to ask the trainer, before the race, what his instructions to the jockey will be and to comment on

why the poor previous performances.

The flaunting of the no trier rules is so blatant in British racing but with a nod nod wink wink to

the Stewards, trainers aren't held accountable.

No different from gypsy selling clothes pegs round the doors

Amazing how no one mentions t Carroll

I would struggle to give any possible reason as to how desiderata won as it did yesterday

All of us on here know the game is ****. And that's why the next generation won't get involved.

r i g g e d

I wasn’t suggesting anything like that regarding this horse sport is unpredictable just look at the premier league would anyone suggest that was **** ?

Maybe all trainers should submit jockey instructions to the stewards pre races with any deviation from those instructions penalised by fines and bans.

Racing is a lot less r I g g e d than it was before the advent of side on, head on & scout cameras.

There is a partial answer to the problem but I doubt it would ever be implemented: No horse given a

handicap rating until it finishes in a placing.

If a trainer instructed a jockey to make the running but as the tapes went up two other horse set of at a furious pace would it be the jockey or trainer who got fined

Premier league strikes again earlier in the week united looked like a Sunday league side against Newcastle at old Trafford,yesterday they performed totally different at anfield where did that sudden improvement in form come from ?
