Exactly - you could walk into a betting shop and anonymously have a few grand on one of the favourites in a group 1 without an eyebrow being raised.

Totally agree HT Anyone thinking that the relevant accounts laying the odds winner is a proof of innocence is being incredibly naive. You could stick a high profile horse like RR in as a lay and get as much as you like on to win at a price with a bookie to cover any potential loss should it...

UG - I agree it was an injudicious ride, but it certainly showed that the horse could be very useful over the minimum trip.

Indeed I did. A fast horse I am sure you would agree.

He would certainly be of significant interest off his current mark over 5f.

Is your reply connected to anything of interest? No

Did anyone watch Tamagin at Newmarket over 6f today? Celtic Mill II isn't far off - get him back to 5f Mr Ryan and you have a listed horse on your hands...

Evidently not!

Figaro Flyer 20s from 50s in the first at salisbury? Is today the day?

I'm sure they aren't Rory - they just can't do anything about it. A consistent approach to "doing something about it" would effectively lead to the whole sport being exposed as a sport that is riddled with, nay fundamentally based on, cheating and deception. Therefore the authorities just take a...

Regarding integrity, one always has to play the "who is likely to be trying today" game with these sprinters as much as with any other group - the difference is that I feel much more confident that I know what they are capable of if they are trying... Sticking to the better class races improves...

Obe Gold reappears tonight at windsor. It says in the paper that he "excels himself in big fields for strongly run races". This is probably because he isn't entirely in love with the game and in these scenarios the finish has been run out out of a lot of his rivals - he certainly didn't seem...

I like (is love too strong a word? :D ) these sprints as I find it much easier to identify value where relatively exposed horses meet than I do in races where several potentially progressive horses run against each other. In those races, although the horses maybe more "interesting" from a...

It gets boring once people have two lines to look at already - you will just get diluted efforts on the whole. NOt many people are capable of doing this very well these days though imo... (BTW - particularly trappy race you have chosen there EC1!)

In all seriousness this place is a lot better than it used to be - far less cliquey imo.

Hotel Continental, Florence In this country I am a big fan of any of the Hotel Du Vin chain...

I would have thought that the big books will want the pictures next year and will probably have to pay the courses for the pictures from next year. However, I can't see that having two different TV services running in the shops can or will work. Surely the compromise will be that the bookies...

Good old Thommo. I have always maintained that, while he is clearly a tool of the highest order, low quality racing is significantly enhanced by his inane, rambling, commentaries...

No they don't - what they want is something to bet on every couple of minutes and afternoon Greyhounds service this need far better than the Turf TV horseracing tracks...

If you mean, "could an independent just go with Turf Tv and not SIS?" I can't see that being feasible at all - AFAIK Turf TV won't have any greyhound races for a start....
