I should have given a reason -- I don't care to see others' selections before I've put mine up ... it puts me off! and I know I would read them! Also, it would make it more interesting, as you'd probably read all the other selections in one hit.

It would be nice if ... We could have selections posted to a holding area, so we don't see anyone else's - then the holding area gets released & all bets are public. Don't suppose it's do-able, though?

So, what form will this year's competition take? Please don't say "the same as last year", as there's no hope of my remembering that!

Betfair not impressed with ban: http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-racing/harry-findlay-betfair-says-findlay-ban-is-disproportionate/727924/top/

Not racing related, but Gary Lineker hosting the France-Uruguay match - first question to Emmanual Adebayor: "Describe your emotions." BBC touchy-feely, when we want facts & opinions on football ... not juvenile 'emotion' talk.

The reason for the rules overrides the letter of the rules, I think. It's called 'equity', iirc. The obvious reason for the rules is to prevent an owner from profiting from his horse losing. That plainly does not apply in this case. Rules are not there to replace reason - they're there as the...

Can't help but think the BHA made its decision with an eye to the media. I've no opinion on H Findlay, I don't think he actually laid the horse within the meaning of the rules, but to lose less. The BHA would have seen that & didn't have the strength of character to accept it as ok - in this...

Oh yes, please.

You'd think O'Brien was a patient man, though, so why woud he be getting cross? If he was cross, you'd think he had a good reason, no? Well, I would ....

Nice to know it's easily looked after -- and a reason for a tongue-tie. Do they wear tongue-ties also just to prevent swallowing it ... or is that just a daft idea?

Thanks, Rory. Came acrosse this: "Displacement of the soft palate is a common cause of upper respiratory noise and exercise intolerance (i.e., poor performance) in racehorses. Horses affected with this disease are described as "choking-down" or making a gurgling...

Bill Mott, talking of Ice Box said: "Ice Box, we scoped him after the race and he was clean," said trainer Nick Zito, who also sent out Fly Down to run second in the Belmont behind Drosselmeyer, who he handily defeated in the Dwyer Stakes. "However, he did displace, he flipped his palette...

Surely no risk -- they're down to just the 22 now. :) hmm should that be 'no risk at all', I wonder.

They both price a month's subscription at £9.99. RUK imply you can watch from home or work - I assume that means as long as you're connected just once at any time, that's ok from anywhere. ATR don't say. ATR say they have: Live Video of ALL UK & Irish racing on the At The Races TV Channel*...

Shame only Moore was awake (and possibly Frankie) - besides Mr Heffernan! It leaves me wondering ... in a way, those other jocks let down the occasion. All praise to Stoute & Moore, tho.

Great sight - how he stretched; thought he migtn't catch him, with the camera not showing the remaining distance ... Some pacemaker, too.

Maybe not -- he's been tipped by Pricewise .... <grumble> <grumble>

He did have an unfortunate live-TV-shown flying incident ...... very dramatic!

Thanks, Steve - he (Azmeel) will be in my combined exacta. ....

Gosh, could this be -- deception, pure & simple?!!:blink: Should deception be condoned? Because another set of people do it, does that make it ok for a certain individual to also do it? Weell, perhaps, perhaps not, depends ... dificult to call though .... I leave it to others. :rolleyes:
