    Nice from suncloud
    another that looks treated well is mac bertie and I cant for the life of me understand why 20s is available . they all have question marks hanging over them and it looks like Evan could have dropped mac in a hdl that might get them off the mark.

    Wow Caras OSCAR certainly picked up after going through the second last! The turn of foot he showed any flat horse would be proud of it

    Anything having a stable debut for Newland especially if it's come from Ireland - back the pants off it. Automatic.

    Frustrating that. Was backed again like defeat was out of the question but sadly has to settle for silver today! She didn't meet some fences as liked in the run in but I'm not sure that was her doing as she led before just being reeled in near the line. Always another day.

    Well, I guess one or two of us on here are now "mental" because we put in a good word for Timeform? With your strange pseudonym, it would appear that you're the one that's going a bit "mental", Fenster?

    Putting in a good word for Timeform is not mental, paying for their "service" is.

    Nothing against Timeform, but anything charging money for horse racing related information, ratings or tips should be shunned. If they had anything that was worth paying for they wouldnt be selling it.

    Second para. seems a trifle incongruous, but, c'est pas grave. We all have different opinions on things, and for many otherwise very busy racegoers, Timeform's products are most certainly worthwhile. To even suggest that Timeform is a common tipster is surely heresy? For example, their annuals, although expensive, are well-written, informative, and the product of really hard work by the company's staff. Their racecards too, are very helpful, as I just said, for the racegoer who has insufficient time at his or her disposal to study form?

    Nevermind, water under the bridge.

    I never said Timeform was a tipster and buying an annual physical book is different, although somewhat obsolete these days.

    For someone who doesnt have time to study form, that suggests they are not particularly serious about betting on the sport and would make it even more strange to pay for what seems to be a withheld opinion? For those people, the free timeform and racingpost verdict/spotlight, Hugh Taylor/Gary Obrien should be sufficient.

    lengthy gelding: poor: modest form over hurdles:

    The above is not something I would have liked to have paid for.

    Id say you will find more valuable opinions and insights on this forum for free but ss you say, each to their own, and if you have money to burn then batter in, if nothing else you will help keep the king of waffle Jamie Lynch in suits.
