When one is boxed in and they say that it is "A hostage to fortune", sounds like a Tom Clancy novel!!!
There’s one fallen at the back - we’ll pick it up in a moment.
FOOOODOOOO when the winner is half a length in front
The horse at the back ridden by Sean Bowen has no chance.
Jamie Spencer has settled his horse 3 lengths behind the field in this 5 furlong race.
''the last twice''... ridiculous.
''danced every dance'' seems to be the latest trend, equally absurd..

"Will come on a ton for the race" dont think he will? trainer wouldnt be happy if hcapper gave his charge 2,200 pounds for the effort.

" as they go past the sticky toffee pudding shop " ....every race , every year at cartmel . i'm sure its not even made in cartmel nowadays .
And "scratch my ar$e"comes from nowhere and over the top to win.

Blimey this post gives just too many choices doesn't it?
But, I would certainly add one of my categories of pet hates, which is the jockey reports:
Horse ran too free
Horse was never travelling
Horse was slow from the stalls
All of which seem to suggest the jockey had nothing to do with it, and was just an onlooker while this happened!

Behind the bridle.
I've yet to see a horse race in front of the bridle.

Apologies, I misread the thread as being sayings you don't hear any more
Kevin O’Ryan saying a horse was ‘pricking the two ears’, not entirely sure if this is supposed to be a good or bad thing.
kor is forver saying 'bounced out made all'

"Sir Alex Ferguson"
Because you know the rest on that sentence is going to be sycophantic boolshyt. You could eat your dinner off his ar5e as it will have been licked spotlessly clean.
e.g. SThe most expensive of the lot coming in at around £265,000 was Charlus, whose dam-sire was none other than Sir Alex Ferguson's brilliant horse Rock Of Gibraltar. RoG 'ownership' still contentious but hey ho.
This is a desperate attempt to shoe-horn Ferguson into a story. RoG is the damsire of 1,344 beasts that have run in the UK and Ireland. Give me peace.

Or the Mark Johnston alternative ‘fillies are in the gate’, lets face it no-one gives a fcuk what sex the horses are.

Does anyone remember or have access to (and could post up) the brilliant column by Paul Haigh in the RP many years ago that was essentially a list of excuses from everyone involved with any horse that failed to win?
I have tried to find it in various archives over the years but to no avail.

Fashion plays a massive part at Royal Ascot let's hand over to.......
won doing handsprings .......never seen a horse doing handsprings has anyone else!
@ the off and "he caught them in a straight line" WTF do you expect, they where put in a straight line.
'They're off over 7 furlongs, that's 1400 metres...' grrrrr.
they're reaching their point of departure. it means nothing. lol. cheers.
Crying out for longer (yet never shorter)
"Likeable sort" (referring to a horse) yet you never get "repulsive sort".

And they are off ' In the XYZ bring cakes home to mama division 2 mares maiden hurdle over 2 miles 5 furlongs jumping 7 flights of hurdles and heading to the first ' .......NO they have just jumped the first .

How about when comms say 'the horse of mr xs' rather than the horses name
Yesterday we had a horse who overtook the rest to win in “ One foul swoop “, err its Fell swoop. No idea what a fell swoop is though !
Looked it up. From Macbeth apparently. Fell means sudden and swoop is the diving action of a bird of prey. Every day is a school day!
A new one used ad nauseum by Weaver/ Megan Nicholls in the paddock - i like him ‘as a physical’.
Would not swap him for anything in the race.....Aye only beacause you have zero chance of getting on anything else.
Yep - that’s mine too.
Closely followed by “and there’s only ten lengths between first and last”.
Really? “Only”?
