That's what happens in America Colin, why would you prefer 6 races to 10? Why not have less meetings but more races per meeting?

Stan Moore gave an in depth interview with Richard Hoiles on Sky Sports yesterday afternoon about the split, anyone with Sky plus should be able to see it. I've never forgiven him for doing 10 stones on Neblin and beating Mrs Muck in the Schweppes cry

That's an interesting one Dante. Any particular reason?[/b] Think he's weak in a finish and if he meets trouble in a race at a vital stage he rarely recovers in time to win the race when others would and do. He cannot galvanise a horse when it's required. Jumpers Pluses McCoy Carberry Walsh...

Best Prospect would have won with a better ride, McGrath allowed the other horse to get back at him on the run in by getting to the front too soon. Maybe they should ask Jamie if he would consider riding Best Prospect over hurdles, the horse could have a good future.

Hong Kong Jockey Club vets are allowed to administer them as long as it is not within 56 days of a race, how widespread? who knows? Takeover Target had them 2 weeks before and they were still in his system so not allowed to run under HK rules although the trainer said he had done the same many...

I think we have to remember the widespread use of anabolic steroids in some of these countries leading to a major disadvantage for European horses. They are used freely in Australia and Hong Kong. Takeover Target was on them all the time.

When Big Mac mentioned the article, the name Chris Cook rang a bell with me as asssociated with similar drivel in the past and I was right, you posted an article from him Colin on the JS from the rear thread on May 24th applauding him for it's content. Have you forgot? :laughing: He sounds a...

Apparently, one of Colin Phillip's favourite racing journalists, Chris Cook in The Guardian blames everything on Betfair :laughing:

He's just been interviewed on ATR, if no one puts them figures up Kathy I will try and root them out later today.

Think that depends on how much you've got :eek: Thought Red Evie would have made more but I suppose her pedigree's not up to much.

Dropping his whip can't have helped on Afsoun but I wouldn't neccesarily go off who trainers such as Brendan Powell (fine jockey that he was himself) put up, hasn't he put up Joe Tizzard quite a lot these last few years?

Definitely not Hayley Turner, shocking dancer. Surprisingly she's got no rhythm :eek:

Happy Birthday Colin, you don't look your age :D

I think it's easy to underestimate how good Sir Peter was, similar to David Coleman, is preparation was meticulous. He would often be seen in weighing room prior to a race checking colours etc. I think this sort of homework is sadly lacking in many of the present day callers and it shows. As for...

Has Joe Fanning retired?

Fallon :laughing: my ass, based on his strike rate, Moore would have been a few behind Spencer and Sanders if he'd had as many rides as Spencer this season unless of course he had tried harder and hence had a better strike rate with the incentive of the championship to go for :laughing: I would...

Weighed In :clap: Weighed In :clap: :laughing: :laughing:

It's not fair to take money off someone so lacking in knowledge chrisbeekracing :laughing:

Seb needing every winner for the championship would be a good enough reason I would have thought, Makin said he would appeal straight after the race but whether he see's sense and revises that is anyones guess.
