    The 2025 November Handicap

    My three: Miller Spirit Master Vintner Castle Cove After he failed to win lto carrying 15Lbs less than he should have, Miller Spirit must be an Ew bet in this; racing all over if it comes to pass.

    Well, of course. They're in it for the owners and the stable, they might say. They're the ones up at lark's fart every morning doing the work.

    Nr's - Again!!

    Very informative, mate. Thanks for that. I still have a not inconsiderable qualm and that involves the declaration of 'Going' as a reason for withdrawal. The trouble is that trainers are having to guess at what the going will be like for a race. With trainers having to declare a day earlier...

    Two winners in an Ew patent, 10/1, 15/2 The 3rd runner is a 20/1 shot. Always the question: would you cash out now? They're offering 14 times my original stake

    Nr's - Again!!

    Thanks for the reply, J. The trouble is, the BHA will not release NR figures to compare against before the 48 dec rule was introduced. There is a reluctance to have any transparency over this subject. The new decs rule was introduced in order to be able to get race cards printed in time for...

    Nr's - Again!!

    !.30 Chepstow: 9 runners but now two nr's. So, a R4 of 20p in the pound on winnings and now only first two for places. Are trainers being paid by the bookies to withdraw runners? Of course not but why don't the BHA do something to penalise serial nr trainers? The punter is simply not being served.

    The 2025 November Handicap

    If you look at the entries, you'll see 'weight OR' at the top of the runners. Click on that and it will list the horses according to their OR. Am I being silly? Did you know that already?
