Like any old pub, full of the usual drunks and bums, when someone new walks in for a pint and a chat, just because time and life have conditioned them to be unwilling to any opinions other than their own, and their only defense is to attack the poor sod, eventually the old bums and drunks fade...

I back horses to win, what your actually saying is your brilliant. Listen, I'm on here for opinions and interesting perspectives I'm not on here to entertain blow holes and read garbage from egotistical subscribers who want to tell the world how great they are. Thanks for your response but...

Exactly, student days, went to Cork about 2 months ago, brought my 11yr old daughter who adores horses. Terrible day, students no interest in racing, loud as shite, screaming thinking when horses passed post first time that was the race yet it was a 2m hurdle. No pleasure for your ordinary...

Jim Crowley, hé reminds mé só múch like Richard hills,, lost more races he should have won instead of winning more that he should have lost, just my opinion

Journeymen and women is fine, cheating is something else. Giving your ride no chance of winning, out the back only making effort when race is over, getting boxed in intentionally, missing the break, ever notice how a few so called journey people have a habit of missing the break when...

Curley is an angel compared to where we are now. Years ago, your average owner was in it for the fun and love of the game, when the sheikhs arrived and put it up to sangster and Co, everything changed, coolmore appeared and it became a them and us. Your average owner was now relegated to poor...

How can it be called ineptitude when on your average class 3 to 6 race, which make up the bulk of most races in UK, ran anywhere in the UK, only a few horses are ever trying to win. The prize money is rubbish, it costs 1000s to keep them in training per month, Owning horses isn't a charity...

Bully or not, he called it as he saw it and with regards to Curley despite his love of religion, he was a gangster who pulled horses accordingly to get them well handicapped so he alone could profit, not forgetting all the times they ran previously and punters backed in good faith. Look at...

Look at the tracks and more closely at attendance, it's dropping rapidly simply because your clued in gen z goes racing, possibly on a student outing and sees with unbiased eyes how bad the sport has become. They would sooner go watch a match and invest their money on something that makes more...

I look at Moore and buick differently to most other jockeys quite simply as they are riding superstars as opposed to your average jocks. The playing field is slightly different in NH but you still have a few riding better horses I dont see any mccoys riding with the will to win and just pure...

Love to know what gunuine racing lovers think. Personally I think bad jockeys are killing racing. I miss big mac, never afraid to call out a bad ride, dodgy trainer or anything adverse in general in racing. I think too many Jockeys are vastly overrated and there's a big gap between 1st rate...
