Sorry missed a few - 1 - Matt Chapman - We have already got rid of so many presenters that we need him to make up for the lack of Thommo. 3 - R4 deductions - Without them we would get owners withdrawing horses at the start, just to make the market for another one. Cheating would be rife. Stays out. 4 - Breaks - C4 racing really irritates me because of this, it goes in because we have the breaks and we have to see Mylene Klass/Freddie Flintoff after every break. Enough already!!! 5 - Fashion Shows- the fact you are talking about their use on tv is key. I hate it, think it adds nothing and if I want to be a perve I can use the internet. In it goes
Look we can't put Southwell in, because I love the AW. Then add in the fact that the place has jumps racing and also is the home to so many of my winning bets it has to stay out. Put it in and I lose Captain Maccary gate and that is my only claim to fame in horse racing forums. Plus Southwell is great viewing, how many class 6 races are more interesting than watching Bookiesindex Boy stop in a matter of strides at Southwell? Tanya - She looked drunk last weekend, and I can't blame her if she has hit the bottle. She is a good researcher and knows her stuff, but she isn't what I would call a natural. She goes in, if only to save her from being fired for her inability to string a sentence together. Commentators - I think they say such a thing with a good sense of irony, I like it. Stays out. Fortune Telling Well - Its nonsense, pure and simple. However, how would the gypsies get money together to back the favourite to the Derby without it? Tarmac? It goes in Richard Hills - bye.
Sorry Ron, just getting to yours Commentators using "the a" - its dreadful if true, not something I have noticed. The a commentators shouldn't be so slack and therefore have to go in. Hopefully its not all commentators otherwise we will have to do our own commentary when we are in the bookies!! Thommo - went in RFC - stayed out, I need them to be a topic of debate and I think they provide that role perfectly. Fashion went in, and the male judges are certainly going in. The work they do needs to be wiped off this fine planet. Goodbye
Happy with your adjudication Nass, 3 out of 5 is not bad and as Richard Hills made it in can't complain. I have a suggestion as Willie Carson has been put up a few times. Richard Hills took his job when he retired from the saddle lets retire him from punditry and give Richard his Job, although he is a shocking race rider he is a very intelligent, knowledgable and articulate speaker. Great Post Nass
Ron - I went for Racing for Change as well - my punishment was to have to wear those poxy new replica jockey silks next time I go on a course. I think it's only fair you follow suit
The Rule 4 is a fair rule, if you back a horse at 7/2 and the 2/1 favourite gets taken out, then your horse no longer becomes a 7/2 shot. If we got rid of the rule 4 then we would have to refuse to give people there money back on non runners
The thing is Chippy, the forfeit had already been dished out before I agreed with you so I might just have well said "Nass, can you please make me wear those poxy new replica jockey silks next time I go on a course". However on reflection my agreement could be construed as an objection which, being overruled, condemns me to wear those poxy new replica jockey silks next time I go on a course. OK. I will wear those poxy new replica jockey silks next time I go on a course.
LOL - I wouldn't wear a replica football shirt to a match never mind those things on the race course! I actually think they should be confiscated on the agte and the wearers subjected to a 20 minute "hard ridden" flogging from Ryan moore. Now where's RFC's e-mail address?????????????
................as I said before, he's horseracing's Inspector Clouseau, always on the fern..................
Swanny, not sure if you know but they are doing a new series which is on at the moment with Frank Skinner as host. I missed it the other week (think the wife was watching something with fat people falling over on).
Nass: Saw just a bit of it (before Hustle) but won't miss it next week. Thanks for info..................
