Meant to be a grade a track more like motor bike track whoever leads on rail basically wins or thereabouts ,it's absolute joke really , surely  clerks of these courses can make course fair , the way leopardstown is at moment it's nearly worse than place like Redcar,  if your top trainer surely this carry on has to be an issue

Racing authorities in uk and ireland need to have look at clerks of courses , alot of them are not up to standard , it's surely not rocket science to offer up a fair surface for everyone those on pace and those behind plus not to have contradicting surface goings on different parts of track , 20 yrs ago these bias were not as profound and u have to think it's personal that the issue , it's not acceptable for trainers , punters etc. This carry on , I dome bets early in morning at Redcar month or so ago and it transpired that if u weren't on a two foot tyre mark track u had no chance of winning or placing , this is not acceptable in this day or age

Also regarding leopardstown this issue with track has been noticed months  ago and seemingly the clerk of course hasn't dome one iota to fix the bias, for me this is not acceptable and it shouldn't be acceptable to racing authorities

Leopardstown has always favoured front runners. Christy Roche was probably the best at it there there's ever been.

Nope, anyone who has managed Betting shops will verify that these cnu4s frequent shops up and down the country and have done for decades.
They'll blame anything bar themselves for betting a loser.
The pen goes in the bin, they'll have a go at a cashier or a relief manager who they can never win with.

COCs over here have done their best to eradicate draw biases at the behest of the 'big' books

7 races at Leopardstown.
average field size around 7. some as low as 4 or 5.
Can't convince me that being 2 wide in a field of 4 stops you winningLaugh

No need to apologise.
Listen to any professional punter, they'll say that as long as they made what they thought was the right call based on their considered judgement, they are prepared to move on and forget the last bet.
Right decison/wrong outcome. move on.
If you see a bias, it's not a curse it's a possible edge.
Better that than blaming every COTC either side of the Oirish sea.Crazy

"Mics" were ten a penny in 1980s betting shops....After a while it just became "noise" as you shut yourself off to their idiocy.

One thing I always remember was a group of old lads who's 'system' (similar to one normally used on here but not as ridiculous as several mounts/days later) was to always bet a jockeys next mount after he's been beaten on a fav. Surprisingly it stands up pretty well even these days.

The ones doing it in the bookies are exactly the same as the ones doing it on here. Potless boring oddballs who you try to avoid at all costs. They’re blatantly unaware of what a pest they are and think people want to listen to them moan about all their losing bets. No dignity or self respect.
Report aberdonia July 25, 2025 9:33 AM BST
I really miss betting shops, and yes, there were some real characters, who all had a system...Handing over money was more enjoyable , and on the move early morning to get your bets on was great.

Sadly time moves on, but the folk who blame the jockey, or the course or the trainer or the cheat when their horse doesn't win....they will always be with us...lol
