    The thoughts of the handicappers.

    yep..so instead of adding +1 to keep a horse out of a class range..handicapper will add +3 to a rating to ensure same outcome

    US Presidential election 2016

    well the ball is now clearly in his court..from January it will be delivery time..if he don't deliver i wonder what will happen...he might get away with it there..but would certainly get away with it here from what i have witnessed over the last few months.... just look at the brexit lies...

    The thoughts of the handicappers.

    won't the handicapper just handicap them a bit higher to prevent it though?..at the moment you just rate a horse 81 to stop it running in a 0-80..in future he will just rate it a bit higher to overcome it the add 1 thing does occur a lot re handicapping agree its a good move by BHA..but maybe...

    What are you backing Today?

    The main concern is whether or not she will handle the surface today i like the A Balding 2nd time stats on the turf..when first looking at the sire stats for this one on the AW though..i thought initially looking at bare figures...oh dear....4/87..AE = 0.49....looks poor on the AW...

    The Road to the 2017 Champion Hurdle

    same season only...check back the last 20 years..a quid on each one..how much you won?..bearing in mind punjabi must be one of the worse CH winners we seen in that period..a pissy win since kribensis don't look a key indicator to my eyes..but its all about opinion i remember the great days of...

    US Presidential election 2016

    but no one can explain why the result scares them its like an automatic negative reaction fuelled by the press what are people scared of?..no one seems to know you have one party whose message was..brits are at bottom of pile re trade..so that would damage our economy..and brits seemingly...

    The Road to the 2017 Cheltenham Gold Cup

    He would have won the Irish Hennessy comfortably going left-handed if he hadn't come down. i disagree tbh..that race collapsed at the front end..and the winner wasn't sighted at the last shows you to what extent it collapsed..it don't matter how easy a horse looks to be going off that type of...

    The Road to the 2017 Cheltenham Gold Cup

    no..i wasn't suggesting he's a November one trick pony at all..the thinking was that anyone seeing him in November might get carried away and think it somehow affects Cheltenham...imo it don't encourage me to fancy a horse like this next year..as he always wins in November was the message Like...

    US Presidential election 2016

    to be honest..was it really going to be so much better with Clinton?...Brendan..what is it you think will happen that is so bad?..the guy is a figurehead..the daft stuff he has been spouting won't happen. i keep hearing about him having access to the nuclear codes...as though one night he will...

    The Pointing Thread

    cracking as usual Martin. Could anyone give me a description of Dromahane PTP Racecourse..in fact a description of some of the other main ones would be very helpful generally I have seen a video of the track and it looks like its not partucularly undulating..pretty even..but then drops away...

    Another aspect with Valseur Lido is that winning in November is the norm with him..his form in November is 11111 with an IV of 1.73..so clearly this is a good time of year for him

    The Road to the 2017 Cheltenham Gold Cup

    depends if you call how a horse has actually performed against odds expectancy a stat..i'd be more tempted to call it looking at what a horse has actually achieved ..or reading its form....which the figures show me personally Its just form expressed in a clearer way than using wins or losses to...

    US Presidential election 2016

    Some would say the same if Clinton had won though..so its swings and roundabouts really..the question is how did two such candidates even get there you have to say as well...if Clinton couldn't win against such as Trump..would you really want someone that bad in post?...its a bit like your...

    US Presidential election 2016

    i made that decision a few years ago Brendan..and just treat it as entertainment now....and we are in for some now i feel..well before the 4 minute warning kicks in anyway:) is there still a 4 minute one?..maybe its like the Bannister mile time..it reduces as the year pass

    US Presidential election 2016

    thats why i was puzzled by post 1004 Warb i actually based my bet on the Torys to win outright..just on the shy voter angle...to beat the shy voter % Labour need to be leading in polls just to be even with the Tories shy voting is messing up these polls generally imo..and the more extreme teh...
