Sack the starter!!

It's the same every year. Always discussed, never rectified. There is one common denominator. Change him and see what happens.

He got off his podium before the last for no obvious reason. Meantime they had got into a decent line, but he couldn't start them. Idiotic.

He’s a power hungry tweed wearing twerp!

Agree change him!

And if a horse doesn’t want to go with them in the pack at the start like Cobdon’s, then don’t do any of that pathetic arm waving and chasing, pull them out after their first chance to line up.

Here we go again.

It is pathetic.

Change the words of the song from hang the DJ.

I suggest that who designed that start junction should be held responsible.

Appeared to start the 2.40 before all the horses had lined up after the turn in.

Total shambles.

Having backed Puturhandstogether my bet was done after a furlong. Farcical.

Comical

Put a screen around the starter!

never fear we have the Highlight of the year for Robbie to come , the National Meeting

The guy just cant handle a big field, we can see it but the pundits wont say anything.

The BHA needs to provide the tools.

Awful start again, half field end up mile behind

Idiot was asleep that time, could've let them go

Shocking

Aye,both days an utter shambles,same as last year.

Seems very much a case of trying the same thing (person) over and over again, and expecting a different result.

I just don't see how hard the role can be and why it is given so much respect?

Much like a newsreader....you can read an autocue.....High fives all round ffs

I did ask Betfair to put up a market for false starts at the Festival, but was denied.
All too predictable.

gets worse

Not even Supple today

when did this starting on a bend bs come in

watched back old coral cups etc where they start in the chute they were always lined up in a straight line full width of the track

walking around a bend from a starting pen is total bs imo

I said this yesterday about the bends at the start. Absolute nonsense it is.

3m hurdle start today is similar just move it forwards 10 yards problem solved

its "about 3m" anyways to everyone apart from fat rowlands
