I gave up going to flat racing, and Im sure theres more. How many times have the Coolmore Dynasty had 2 to 4 maybe 5 horses in the last number of years and thrown up strange results. People are no longer interested in backing in these races. Its surely effecting Tote and Bookmaker revenue?

Surely the trick is to wait and see how the markets develop in these situations. The money for the second string was there for all to see.

Doesnt always work with the market and how many doubles etc were undone there. I didnt have any bets so Im not talking through my pocket.

2 more examples yesterday in the Guineas and today in the Curragh with 2 hotpots been beaten by 25/1 and 66/1 stable companions.

How many more times will we see this again this season. I for one will be avoiding Irish flat racing like the plague.

Good luck to the Coolmore team, they have their priorities but its a shame to see punters getting their fingers burnt so often.

There's nothing stopping people from backing them both

How would you practically couple horses in England and/or Ireland anyway, especially in NH racing

JP McManus could have 3-4 horses in a race, all with different trainers. Those same trainers could have 1-2 other horses in the same race owned by different people. Next thing you know, you want to back one horse and you have to couple it with 8 others!
