The jumps captures my imagination much more than the flat and its just far more exciting to watch... I tend to contribute more on a Friday/Saturday as thats when I have a bet... No bet weekends would happen more for me in the spring/summer as that s when the better weather is for weekends away and day trips so that could be no bet and no contribution times! Up the jumps!!!
Flat racing is much much better than jumps you can get any old donkey winning over sticks, flat is all about class and speed, its much more exciting watching a sprint with 10 horses in the finish than a 2 or 3 mile snooze fest which ends up down to two (if we're lucky) in a finish!
Oh come on now Badger, there are loads and loads of absolute donkey races on the flat, you know that. Flat is certainly not 'all about class and speed', far from it. We are not much different to the States in some respects, i.e. take a look at an everyday racecard over there, all claiming races except one, which is often Race 9 of 10. Will concede that flat racing in Europe has a bit more variation, but, again, it's still not 'all about class and speed'.
