There is plenty of stuff you get in the paper that you don't get on the web Suny - and vice-versa. They've got us over a barrel, being the only daily racing paper. They want people to pay for both web and paper so withhold bits from each in an attempt to drive people to buying both.

It's now £2 both days at the weekend and £1.80 during the week.

I saw old Star Glow last week - he's looking grand, bless him. Also, after riding four winners this weekend Phil's now right up there in the championship. He was lying in fourth place (along with about 4 others) on 8 winners to Will Biddick's 11 winners so he's got to be lying at least...

After you've already forked out £2 for a paper plumped out with shit texts from clueless Betfair-forumesque punters?!

Once the principles have crossed the line in a race the commentator's job is over - once they have finished talking about those crossing the line in front they have to finish quickly so the judge can take over to announce the result. There is no question of them being able to mention pulled up...

There are far worse commentators than Cattermole, bloodnok. Some with more seniority as well. However the predictable comments about Cattermole are rolled out with impunity by some and as I have pointed out several times, they are getting more offensive and insulting every time they appear.

Re : your comment on it not being the job of the race caller to report on the horse's welfare; I agree, that is what I was trying to say. Although this is a grey area in that, so far as I am aware (and I've had it on very good authority, and recently) it is the racecourses themselves who don't...

Hmmmm, talking socks, that makes me think I might have to wear my raspberry/purple striped ones one day next week....

I think Zaynar can surprise a few. If he stays the trip - and IMO, there's little to suggest he can't - he'll be right up there. This horse has the toe to have come third in a Champion Hurdle and to win a Triumph which can't be said for a lot of runners in this race. He is still only six so...

Raspberry is the new mustard.

Did you read the posts I was referring to? Did you read my post? I am pointing out that in this case, as was being alleged, Cattermole was not "useless, again" nor had he missed that the horse was put down. He knew when many others did not which horse was behind the screens and it was him who...

Superb - thanks for that, Kri!!!! I shall pass it on.... :D For those that maybe don't quite 'get it', the two friends I have who want to purchase some want to wear them for tongue in cheek purposes.

Not at any time during the race did it look like Starluck would win it. I'm with DJ in that I hope they give Aintree a swerve - the horse isn't experienced enough over fences. Running him in the Arkle would have been suicide.

Mike Cattermole knew that the horse has been lost - it was Mike who told me which horse it was behind the screens, so talk of him being useless again is bullshit, again. I suggest, Ardross, that you do some research before dishing out the gratuitous insults - maybe first try and find some...

Time for a moan about the Racing Post website - it's a bloody con. I've just clicked on FIVE new stories in a row and been told they're viewable only by members of their member's club. I'm particularly pissed off having just forked out £2 for the bloody paper - I'm not paying more to use their...

I'm bemused as to how anyone could possibly consider that Midnight Chase has a chance of winning the Gold Cup. Denman is looking more rock solid by the day - has to be nailed on for a place at least. I thought it was between him, Imperial Commander and Long Run and with the amount of negative...

Christ, people paid money to listen to Andy Smith?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!

That's fantastic - thanks for putting that up. Very funny. Christ only knows how anyone could possibly dream up those prices! Nice under-round too.....

I agree - I think there's every chance Long Run could go off favourite.

They have to be cords, Kri, I'm afraid - nothing else will do. I suggested a shopping trip to Marlborough!!
